the greatest class action in the world by a very small. i . think. thousands protest in the haitian capital against economic hardship calling on the president to step down but there's be no reaction from washington unlike to similar

and rest in venezuela just across the caribbean sea. syria demands action from the u.n. security council after accusing the u.s. led coalition of killing sixteen civilians in a bombing attack on the border with iraq. as the u.s. ambassador says chairman a should use its leverage to keep the kremlin in line that says a new poll finds mischances 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 for the us to its form that it's. now watching us see international welcome to the program. autopsy torrie venezuela

has been making headlines for weeks ever since opposition. declared himself interim president now some fifty countries recognize him and support his bed's to outspend us when president nicolas maduro. meanwhile just across the caribbean say thousands of protests in the haitian capital and against economic hardship and investments anti-government demonstrators are demanding that the president of the island nation step down there has been violence new thing and clashes with police seven last five days which moves a scene fools us. was really very little. experience in haiti that have received a very different kind of reaction from washington and the ones in fact it's way

that the t.c.d. picture and i'll explain. how explain. motos start turning deadly. crowd once the president to get the hell out of his office. the next i read a letter from a doctor they loathe his government for corruption for all kinds of cheating at the election. i'll do whatever to do it. but it's not that i'm one of the nation's not just poor it's starving. rich people want to come running. everything and the massive population tell you. 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 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 do. reasons in some cases that would be more than enough to set off what i call the legitimacy radar alarm in 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 two printers men 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. donna true. venice and the drum government is not going to side with the haitian people because they need 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 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 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 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 washington's effets in the south american country and that by elliot abrams he was recently made the 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 suspect talk attacked of a coup attempt in venice weyler while in the one nine hundred eighty s. then a member of the reagan administration he funneled weapons through iran to nicaraguan rightwing rebels he was also accused of using humanitarian aid planes 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 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 us 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 u.s. invasion of venezuela and so in many ways this is seen as a trojan horse for u.s. invasion. syria is demanding action from the u.n. security council often accusing the u.s. led coalition of killing sixteen civilians and injuring schools more in a bombing attack on the border that with iraq. eleven february twenty ninth team the u.s. led coalition committed a new crime against innocent syrian civilians is we're playing targeted a civilian camp in the village of coups in the countryside of the governorates of there is or sixteen civilians including seven children were killed and seventy civilians most of them women and children were injured syria again calls on the un

security council to stand up against these crimes and attacks and to shoulder its responsibilities in the maintenance of international peace and security. the coalition is supporting attempts by the rebel syrian democratic forces to see its final eisel areas in the country the coalition spokesperson says it's looking into reports of civilian casualties. the progress is slow and methodical as the enemy is fully entrenched and are still fighters continue to conduct counter attacks we are aware of open source reports of alleged civilian casualties we take all allegations of civilian casualties seriously middle east experts in the last think tank director. believes the u.s. has changed tactics to justify its attacks what we know for sure that the americans showed disregard for human life and for infrastructure what is happening this time around is that previously they would say you know we would count investigation

whenever a large bowl of civilians lives were lost nowadays they seem to have a pretty preset justification so for example yesterday they bombed a mosque in the same village halls and they've issued a statement that we found a former mosque which lost its status because he was turned into a command and control center so now they've come prepared for whatever criticism they might face but we don't think that this acuity council will will take any step towards that the united states is not alone in this sort of illegal. as insincere we had. a. u.s. senator has found herself from drooled in control of a c. after she took to twitter to complain about the influence of the pro israel lobby in the us on quartet takes up the story in american politics multimillion dollar

lobbies reign supreme and there's almost always a good reason to criticize them big pharma is a usual target i don't think americans have the same big warm fuzzy feeling for big pharma pharma form has a lot of lobbies the lobbyists a lot of power sometimes it's the gun lobby the national rifle association the n.r.a. the n.r.a. they do have great power i agree with it they have great power over you people. they have lost power over me and of course plenty of others but there's one rule everyone apparently needs to follow don't criticize israel democratic senator ilhan all maher learned the hard way with a five letter tweet it's all about the benjamins baby benjamins as in hundred dollar bills it's pretty clear she was referencing the israel lobby but almost everyone took it as a secret anti sematic insult from republicans to fellow democrats all more wasn't danger of joining the black book of anti semites and so i submit to troops have no place in the halls of congress it is dangerous for democrats leadership to stay

silent elise rickles language nancy pelosi please speak we can't be silent on a mom remove anti-semitism from house foreign affairs committee remove flieger until still it eats jews and israel and then i will vote on house resolution seventy two to condemn israel and anti semitic hate infiltrating u.s. politics college campuses and halls of congress democratic leaders have condemned for use of anti semitic troops and prejudicial accusations about israel's supporters a couple of jewish democratic congressmen even wrote a letter to the party's leadership asking them to join in on the outreach and benjamin's were no doubt involved there one of the letter signers received over one hundred thirty thousand dollars from the israel lobby in twenty eighteen in total apac spent three and a half million lobbying politicians last year and in the end omar had to apologize

but she's not alone in washington pro israel democrats are having none of it some are forming a faction within the party for those with seemingly undying loyalty to israel twenty twenty is only a year away and parties are already preparing for the electoral battle there are sure to be plenty of topics to debate but like every other presidential election it's likely that the criticism of israel will be out of the question donald quarter r.t. . joey long bardot from the united national antiwar coalition shared his thoughts on the issue. i think the policies of israel are the policies of the united states in that area of the world the u.s. depends upon israel for many things in. that region there are laws that are they are trying to pass that make it actually illegal to criticize israel so israel. has a bigger effect on what happens in the united states and as part of the general

move to. roll back civil liberties and the freedom of right of freedom of speech in united states they are trying to make it illegal to criticize israel at this time. the u.s. ambassador to germany has called for nato to be strengthened because as he puts it russia is on the doorstep but as peter oliver reports his comments and recent threats of sanctions against europe have not gone down well. washington's man in berlin ambassador richard grinnell is being handing out advice left and right to chancellor angela merkel over which direction she should stay or 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 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 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. up 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. 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 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 trans policies it's the politics of provocation we've lost some of the respect we had for the u.s. due to its foreign policy it's the people themselves get along well but the politicians 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. and in a campus newspaper sparks controversy as the office suggests keeping a record of racist behavior by whites male students that story and more in just a moment's time.

anyone else chose seemed wrong. why don't we just don't all. get to shape out just to come out ahead and in detroit because the trail. went so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. what holds if you should. put themselves on the line. they get accepted or rejected . so if you want to present. yourself wanted. to write. this is what. really. interested. they said.

welcome back to our. civilians cannot return to iraq second city of mosul because of the appalling amount of explosives left among seven million tons of daybreak the united nations mine active action service has warned more than one hundred thousand homes remain destroyed or damaged with face that explosive sisto and saw it after a massive three year u.s. led coalition bombing campaign to defeat a still which ended in twenty seventeen the problem is made worse by what's known as three d. contamination with mines hidden underground as well as among the temporary head of the u.n. mine action service warns us all having a heavy physical and psychological effects. mine action is about suffering it's

about people waking up at night with nightmares it's about kids who have the future jeopardized by disability disability has been in mental health or physical disability it's about a country that's kind of got back on its feet kind of her all the tools they need to revive the economy is because their rents are come to mean they hit. from the u.n. mine action service says there's still much work to do before mosul can be inhabited again. you basically find the contamination all over the year especially the west and. it's include it in private health critical infrastructure until now we've been focusing on critical infrastructure mainly and that probably that over fourteen hundred. not the flood problem in the longer we're clearing critical infrastructure and houses buildings with several stories where each store or it needs to clear separately this in combination with the seven point six million tons of debris that

is estimate that in the route is improvised explosive devices in combination with ammunition that has been fired but it's both a function of currently conducting a survey of the liberated areas between first. and last year which you had to close to seventeen dollars an explosive are such different pipes and that's a good indication bar the war. donald trump has once again provokes the wrath of iran after slamming the country's islamic revolution as a failure and in a tweet in english and farsi the president ramped up his criticism of her on even further. forty years of corruption forty years of repression forty years of terror the regime in iran has produced only forty years of failure the long suffering iranian people deserve a much brighter future. iran is marking forty years since the speculation which saw

the overthrow of the u.s. backed sharm hamad parvi relations between the two countries has been fraught since last november the trump administration imposed the harshest sanctions to date on to iran targeting the country's energy shipping and financial sectors we asked iranians what they made of the u.s. president's latest quipped. i do not agree with trump's words about the forty year corruption and suppression this is not about corruption can be found everywhere he posts in farsi so that everyone can understand and he wanted to show that he doesn't agree with those who are running our country but i personally do not like it trying to interfere from outside the other server. really don't take those words very seriously his remarks are like t.v. he says different things every day. was just if his intention was to really help the people interest you how friendly he is by writing in their mother tongue then he should withdraw sanctions like those are medication which have put

a strain on our people that would show goodwill. it seems race issues another far from the headlines these days and that's also true at yale university in the 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 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 let things slip by i'm watching you white boy and this time i am taking this 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 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 you can see the article sparks controversy online with some accusing the author of hate speech i says davis marks the author of evil is banal is a senior editor with an at with college she studies philosophy in my it's a regular column failed taylor needs debate save a political correctness at yale university a frequent. hair were not international we debated the corpus of valence 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 on the bonnets and the mainstream media has has 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 this is this is the 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 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. that brings you up to date terror naughty my colleague neil harvey returns with a well sneeze at the top of the hour. after

the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the pope the pope different clubs on one hand it is logical to sit in the home field 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 one on t.v. . i'm going to talk about football narvi or else you can sink i was going to go. by the way ways of the flying here. tough and high and on the flipside is the mcconnell sway the both of us who. benefit so smooth to have on

the plaza in this way got it all so hard not to think of the other disappeared this moment the look ahead they are one and i know from the start then if. this is the only thing that we do is music because everybody fights aimed his way to. the floor you can feel the fi look out of his will to swoop in and grab hold of even a not so for them. but i think is this is the fun that is accompanied . 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 can go watch report interview with with him back at one three four two i believe it was average apple unveils apple stock price expose.
