when the ruling classes project themselves. the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. i mean real news real world. thousands protesting the haitian capital against economic hardship calling on the president to step down but there's been no reaction from washington unlike with similar invest 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. the us ambassador in berlin says that germany should use its leverage to keep the kremlin in line but does a new poll finds most germans also get tickled about relations with washington. the world has become more tense due to trump's policies it's the politics of provocation we've lost some of the respect we've had for the q.s. due to its foreign policy. beginning to you thanks for joining us this is. fun as well. has been making

headlines for weeks ever since opposition leader one guy i don't declared himself interim president now some fifty countries recognize it and support his bid to oust venezuelan president nicolas maduro meanwhile just across the caribbean sea thousands of protested in the haitian capital against economic hardship and battlements government demonstrators are demanding that the president of the island nation step down there has been violence looting and clashes with police over the last five days which have also seen four deaths. i. was. with. these protests in haiti though have received a very different kind of reaction from washington compared to the ones in venezuela who are trying to explain. protests are turning deadly.

in crowd once the president to get the hell out of his office. the next. they load his government for corruption for all kinds of cheating at the election. but enough that one of the nation's not just poor it starving. rich people in the country. going through. everything and the messed up place to. come to a new city 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 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 that is 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 spent 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 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

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 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 efforts in the south american country led by elliot abrams he was recently made the u.s. special envoy to venezuela but his appointment surprised many given his previous track record in latin america three. back in two thousand and two abrams was the suspected architect of

a coup attempts in venezuela while in the nine hundred eighty s. then a member of the reagan administration he funneled weapons to 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 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 after accusing the u.s. led coalition of killing sixteen civilians and injuring schools more in a bombing attack on the border with iraq. online fabric twenty nineteen 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 who's in the countryside of the governor 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 attack was launched on the last eisel occupied enclave in eastern syria and there is or province u.s. led coalition is attempt is supporting attempts by the rebel syrian democratic forces to seize that area there are reports that despite the fact hundreds of civilians have fled the territory many are still trapped inside coalition spokesperson says that it is looking into reports of civilian casualties. the progress is slow and methodical as the enemy is fully entrenched and eisel 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 closest think tank director believes that the u.s. is 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 launch an investigation

whenever a large pool of civilians lives were lost nowadays they seem to have pre three said justification so for example yesterday they bombed a mosque in the same village holds and they've issued a statement that we've bombed a former mosque which lost its status because he was turned by diversion to 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 that the united states is not alone in this sort of illegal. presence in syria had. u.s. senators found itself in broader controversy after she took to twitter to complain about the influence of pro israel lobbying in the united states parties don't quarter has the story. in american politics multi-million 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 pharma has a lot of lobbies a lot a lot reus 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 less 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 semitic 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 on this reckless language nancy pelosi please speak we can't be silent on a mom remove anti-semitism from house foreign affairs committee remove flagrant hostility to jews and israel and then i will vote on house resolution seventy two to condemn anti israel and anti semitic hate infiltrating u.s. politics college campuses and halls of congress democratic leaders have condemned to hell more for her 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. joe lombardo from the united national antiwar coalition shared his thoughts with us on the issue. i think the policies of israel or the policies of the united states in that area of the world the u.s. depends upon israel for many things and 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 big 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 c. puts it quote russia is on the doorstep of oliver explains his comments and recent sanctions against europe haven't gone down 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 grinnell 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. 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 to put us into its foreign policy school but still deserve and the people themselves get along well but the politicians 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. and also in a campus newspaper has fall controversy is the author suggested keeping a record of racist behavior by white male students that story and others after the break. the bottom of.

what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. get it right to be prosperous like them before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of our. first six.

welcome back civilians cannot return to iraq's second city of mosul because of the appalling amount of explosives left among seven million tons of debris the united nations mine action service has warned more than a hundred thousand homes remain destroyed or damaged there are fears that explosive a still inside after a massive three year u.s. led coalition bombing campaign to defeat i saw which ended in twenty seventeen the problems my worst buy was known as three decontamination that's mines hidden underground as well as among the debris the head of the u.n. mine action service warns it's all having a heavy physical and psychological effect my inaction is about suffering it's about people waking up at night with nightmares it's about kids who have their future jeopardized by disability disability has been in mental health or physical

disability it's about a country that can't get back on its feet cannot have all the tools they need to revive the economy it's because their rents are contaminated. a payload hama's from the u.n. mine action service says the still much work to do before most of it can be again inhabited. basically to find the contamination all over the year especially the west and. its include it in private. and critical infrastructure until now we've been focusing on critical infrastructure mainly and that complete that over fourteen hundred. not the flood problem in the longer we're clear in critical infrastructure and holsters buildings with several stories where each store needs to clear separately and this in combination with the seven point six million tons of debris that is at the mate that in the route is not longer 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. member last year which appeared close to

seventeen dollars an explosive are such different pipes and that's a good indication barked at war. donald trump has once again provoked the wrath of iran after slamming the country's islamic revolution as being a failure and in a tweet in english and farsi the president ramped up his criticism of tehran even further. forty years of corruption forty years of repression forty years of terror the regime in iran has produced only forty years a feeler the long suffering iranian people deserve a much brighter future than is marking forty years since its revolution we saw the overthrow of the us bank sharma hamad pallavi ever since relations between the two countries have been fraught last november the terms of ministration impose the harsh sanctions to date on terror around targeting the country's energy shipping and financial sectors we asked iranians what they made of the us president the

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 could 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. really don't take those words very seriously his remarks are like t.v. he says different things every day was that his intention was to really help the people and she show how friendly he is by writing our mother tongue then he should withdraw sanctions like those are medication which have put a strain on our people that would show good well. this is a race issues in a far from the headlines these days that's also true university in the us after a student there published a column in the campus newspaper in which it was suggested 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 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 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 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 tried in 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 and as you can see that the article sparked a lot of controversy online some accusing the author of hate speech i state this marks the author of evil is banal is a senior jonathan edwards college she studies philosophy and writes a regular column for yale daily news debates over political correctness university of frequent. earlier here on out internationally debated the call for surveillance solve 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 on jobs even at restaurants i'm currently college student right now and i see this this this whole i guess clay coming to everyone's minds thinking that white people are bad white people she claimed 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. ok thanks for staying with us this is a team to national life if headlines updates on top stories coming your way to see you in the defendant's. daughter. into a nihilistic fever just want to thank god it hit the road and get out the traveling across america to find what makes america take the charlatans the genius of this place especially american hero this is it we've come a point around which element is done something we always are on the margins

something. called the culture is really important because. we're starting last with is moving ahead of east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the beast and i think i want to leave now governor danny morganton of them it may be completely different and a mystery. join me every thursday on the alex simon sure and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports this knows i'm show business i'll see you then. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.
