put president maureen's 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. faces 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 and i own troops and old and entrepreneur ones is results and therefore i hope we'll 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. venice. on

a true. venice an interim government is not going to side with the haitian people because they believe that 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 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
8:06 am
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 filled with him. crecy 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 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 and it's way liz county gripped by shortages of food and medicine with the problem a class abated by an economic blockade and sweeping u.s. sanctions and major rallies currently burning over u.s.

to the u.s. special envoy it's a venezuela but his appointment has surprised many given his previous track record in latin america back in two thousand and two abrams was the suspect talk attacked of a coup attempt in venezuela while in the one nine hundred eighty three and a member of the reagan administration he funneled weapons through iran to nicaraguan rightwing rebels he was also accused of using humanitarian aid to disguise weapons shipments to malicious 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 trump czar 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
8:10 am
elliott abrams was overseeing several death squads and their genocidal humanitarian violations 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 engine its support of the self declared me to one quiet day and with washington piling the pressure on nicholas schmidle re a failure of the night during one of his recent speeches proved an easy target. time to play the field.

8:12 am
threats of sanctions against europe have not gone town well. washington's man in berlin and boss of the richard grinnell is being hung 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 grenelle also expressed disappointment with germany's military spending saying that commitments made to nato needed to be all that the u.s.
8:13 am
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. in german companies doing business in iraq should wind down operations immediately never tell the host country what to do. we're not a banana republic. they're. a
8:14 am
mix of. tightening time. 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 to put the u.s. to its foreign policy. the people themselves get along well but the addition sometimes failed turf like this they're having problems as an american president i
8:15 am
think washington's hardline approach to it. doesn't seem to be going down too well with the german people. it seems race issues and never far from the headlines they stay. with us 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 i'll 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 led by i'm watching you white boy and this time i am
8:16 am
taking the screen shot. what kind of a hate has yo become this is not progressive it's juvenile and malicious pernicious yale paper prints racist guide on how to destroy 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 you can save the article sparked controversy online with some accusing the author of hate speech isis davis mark fields of evil is banal is a senior at jonathan edwards college she studies philosophy and writes a regular column failed to a nice debate save
8:17 am
a political correctness at yale university a frequent elliott here on earth international we 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 quite 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 currently 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 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. french place a pin a probe off the anti-semitic graffiti appears on a power a shop window and some quickly blaming it on

a vast protest is more on that story in just a minute. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. for some water.
8:20 am
that's it right for us that's what the flag three of the more people. interested in the why. they said. welcome back to. french police investigating anti semitic graffiti that appeared on the window of a jewish shop in paris however some were quick to point the finger at the at a fast movement and shot it dubinsky reports outrage over yet another on t. semitic attack in paris the latest was here. in the fourth decent of the city the german wood for jews juden was sprayed across this bagel shop near the old jewish
8:21 am
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 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 weeks of protests known as act six a series of anti semitic incidents were reported including
8:22 am
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 honestly i don't know if there is any connection to the l. 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 don't
8:23 am
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. it's disgusting 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 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.
