thousands protest in the haitian capital against economic hardship calling on the president to step down but that has been a reaction from washington and like to similar unrest in venezuela just across the

caribbean sea. the u.s. ambassador and lend says chairman a should use its leverage to keep the kremlin and line that says a new poll finds the skeptical about relations with washington the world has become more tense policies it's the politics of provocation we've lost some of the respect we had for the u.s. to its foreign policy. in the u.s. accusations of hate speech that the author of a column in yellow university's newspaper in which she calls on students to look out the sexist behavior among whites males. is just ten two pm head in the russian capital this is off today and some national . dennis whalen has been making headlines for weeks ever since opposition leader

to clad himself interim president now some fifty countries recognize him and support his bid to oust venezuelan president nicolas maduro meanwhile just across the caribbean say thousands of protested in the haitian capital against economic hardship and embezzlement and to government demonstrators are demanding that the president of the caribbean island nation step down violence looting i'm cautious with place have been seen over the last five days of protest which have also seen for death. was really very close. to. the protests in haiti that you have received a very different kind of reaction from washington than the ones in venice way to.

explain. protests are turning deadly over that. crowd wants to president to get the hell out of his office during the time i read a letter from october they lowered his government for corruption for all kinds of cheating up the election. i do for that but it looks. good enough that i'm going to the nation is not just poor it's starving. rich people want to come running. everything and. the mess the police are. conquered and misery like a bit of polling from the poorest country in the caribbean the last presidential election how to. rerun after claims of fraud but the follow up which put president

more ease and 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 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. donna true. venice interim government is not going to side with the haitian people 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. 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 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 of 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. fed a swathe currently cephus food and medicine shortages exacerbated by an economic blockade and sweeping u.s.

sanctions the opposition and the government in venezuela currently wrangling over u.s. aid quite a kames he's been able to get to everything into the country their president make us majority has blocked some saying the convoy's a cover for u.s. invasion the russian foreign minister has expressed a similar concession we can cough live now to rome and costs are up for more on that roman what has the russian foreign minister said well as sergey lavrov defended russia's security council resolution on venezuela and called the a u. s. allegation that it's aimed at the destructing humanitarian aid to the country. now a russian minister added that the un security council is unlikely to pass the resolution offered by the united states and some of the. the u.s. draft resolution on venezuela is aimed at concealing a planned provocation as humanitarian aid would destabilize the country it might

even provide a pretext for military intervention the un security council will never accept this kind of resolution. also said that he's planning to discuss the situation in venezuela with. diplomats federica. in the upcoming days and the sides will have plenty to discuss especially considering the fact that many nations have declared unilateral support for the opposition in the venezuela. the contact group that the e.u. created with latin american states has approved a document contains no will to me which had initially been proposed by some e.u. members but rather focuses on unilateral support for the opposition. now the united states state department had asked the russian foreign minister to organize a phone conversation between the heads of the respectful departments and sergey

lavrov said that he could discuss venezuela in the upcoming conversation with his u.s. counterpart. and calls for porting there now washington's efforts in the south american country and led by elliott abrams his appointment as the u.s. envoy to venezuela 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 attempts in venezuela while in the one nine hundred eighty s. then a member of the reagan administration he funneled weapons through iran to nicaraguan 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 us invasion. the us they remain still in a support of the self declared lead to one quite zero and with washington piling on the pressure to nicolas maduro a failure of the lights during one of his recent speeches preved an easy target.

if. the lights are going off from the jury mafia in venezuela. to work while we building up. thank you is there a little light show going on there i have a hole in our intelligence agencies for this they just turned over a lifetime of intelligence and. they are so ok yes ok.

i want you to go to the. u.s. ambassador to germany has called for nato to be strengthened because as he puts it russia is on the doorstep of peace one of our reports his comments and recent threats of sanctions on europe have not gone down too well. washington's man in berlin i'm busted a 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 milled 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 bus of 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. to german companies doing business in iran should wind down operations immediately never tell a host country what to do. we're

not a banana republic. they're. a mix of. 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 relationship is difficult right now because the world has become more tense due to traffic policies it's the politics of provocation we've lost some of the respect we had people like us due to its foreign policy. the people themselves get along well and 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 race issues that are never far from the headlines these days and that's also true it to gail university of new u.s. after a student published a column in the campus newspaper and 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 massive 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 later by i'm watching you white boy and this time i am taking this green shot. what kind of a hades has yo 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 will 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 as she can say 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 banal is a senior at jonathan edwards college she studies philosophy then writes a regular column failed to news debate save the political correctness at yale university a frequent early here on earth international and i guess debate at the coalface 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 on the 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 is this whole i guess clay coming to everyone's minds thinking that white people are bad white people should be going 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. still to come on our french place. to . protest law in just a minute. and in. the trail.

when folks are talking about socialism cortez out of new york that congresswoman saying you know see they all say that you know socialism is back 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 that's an incredibly large sided concentration of the greatest growth engine in the world by a very small. welcome back to the french police investigating anti semitic that appeared on the window of

a jewish bagel shop in paris however some were quick to point the finger at yellow vest protesters and charlotte dubinsky reports outrage after yet another until some magick attack in paris the latest was in the fourth decent of the city the german word for jews was spread 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 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 m.t.c. might rescind in the yellow vest everywhere the same thing is happening and it's a tragedy it's not the first time. 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're peaceful they believe in the republic they're 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 honestly 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 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'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 it could happen. it's gusting we're living 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. 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 so what do you can ski auti paris we spoke with brussels based in this lucre way who says the l a best have simply become scapegoats was painted in yellow so what so it might be a provocation it might but let's not even go into that in almost all the. president the chairman of the us and bring us your novel national assembly the parliament. house residence as being burnt i mean somebody set fire to it immediately direction was it just a yellow fests nothing to do with it to semitism nobody knows if it is able of us

who did it there are some people why are not too clever say stupid things there are probably some 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 sun is very much afraid of them so anything that goes wrong it's to yellow fists. the disputed balkan territory of kosovo has been snubbed by the us into rao over terrorists washington has pulled the plug on high profile visits by one of its army generals after pristina flapped one hundred percent levy on goods from neighboring ethiopia. the american side is making the lifting of the exorbitant tax a precondition of the visit but the cost of been prime minister says the tariff will remain in place until recognizes cost of areas independence. pristina declared its independence from belgrade in two thousand and eight and tensions the still

high. the parliament of the republic. common capital and professor of political science it is told us the u.s. will keep pressuring costs of. those in both past trying to be declaring a one hundred percent tariff on serbian. goods coming from the house of opinion if this is to further conflict between the two states this is up to us primarily because we live frying to control its creations is

trying to get both of them into the e.u. as member states by twenty twenty five where they can't have two cimbali in rivalries going on they can have a fight going on between their two client states and get them into the e.u. by twenty twenty five which is this tariff war which used to go on. that brings us states with the latest scrape or news more top stories in thirty minutes time. tough and i mean i'm on the phone if i use the my phone sways or both the systems. benefit so smooth to see it on the plaza in this way got it all so hard not to see

the mother decide to see the look of the paperwork and i know from the start then if. this is the only thing that we do is music because everybody fights his way. to. the floor you can feel the feet down this will this will be a whole movie about a lot of the. what i see is this is the fans that is a look something. factor to send to the public well. when the ruling class is protect themselves.

sick. greetings and sally. we love we love our democracy here in the united states watchers we love it so much that we will often spread our brand of democracy around the world either by

a handshake or shake down but despite our great chest thumping over how golly gee great our democracy is when it comes that actually practicing it. take the recent two thousand and eighteen midterms according to recent data compiled by the center for responsive politics the two thousand and eighteen election was the most expensive midterm ever by a layer large margin with total spending surpassing five point seven billion dollars yet despite that massive amount of money spent by candidates parties committees pacs and outside groups only an estimated one hundred thirteen million people actually voted. but but tyrrell one hundred thirty million people that's a huge number all these political pundits and journalists told me it was a banner year for us democracy friends yet not really really especially when you look at the amount of voting age citizens who didn't vote in the.
