9:03 pm
intervene into the country's affairs. i reject or i would not want the military to intervene but i want us venezuelans to be the ones to decided to solve our own problems but. if there is no way a diplomatic means to establish peace that's what has to happen as to has nothing else but we will go to bat and we doubt. we will get. the bigger also the government supporters and the cosmodrome. a march on the other side of the so on and they were celebrating as well the jews they and they were also supporting the armed forces of one of the independent testaments and most important political estimates from the country within the last several days both the u.s. and russia proposed draft u.n. security council resolutions on the even as well in crisis of two words moscow and washington discuss the situation in a phone call or things correspondent khaled mop and has more. russia's foreign
9:04 pm
minister sergei lavrov recently had a phone call with mike pompei oh the u.s. secretary of state now in the phone call from what we understand russia's top diplomat warned washington against any attempts to intervene in venezuela's internal affairs including military intervention which would violate international law now folks will recall that last week at the united nations there was actually a resolution put forward by the united states and certainly last spoke up saying that that resolution was essentially a pretext for u.s. military intervention as. the u.s. draft resolution on venezuela is aimed at conceding a planned provocation as humanitarian aid would destabilize the country it might even provide a pretext for military intervention the u.n. security council will never accept this kind of resolution now after that we saw russia put forward its own resolution calling to express concern over the threats
9:05 pm
of use of force and violations of the territorial integrity of venezuela so it seems pretty clear that russia and the united states do not see eye to eye when it comes to the situation facing the bowl of varian republic in south america russia's un ambassador of a ceiling in bins and spoke with a growing list about moscow's view of the u.s. resolution he also denounced what he called interference in even as well as internal affairs. you know that. is a sort of contemplating. with the with the security council. which is. already of sorts. with its of these completely and bones this is a very unfortunate attempt to interfere in this over seven countries which is not said by by the majority of the community. unfortunately i think that washington will
9:06 pm
continue on its current course of action this is become an ideological issue for them when you have amassed marco rubio you have mike pompei all you have mr john bolton and now elliott abrams directing the foreign policy in washington a sensually taking over the function of the state department we are are essentially on embarked on a course of regime change the u.s. has embarked on his course previously since the election in one nine hundred ninety eight the us assad regime change across three different governments bush obama and now trump and unfortunately i don't think that the. minister will listen to comments and will continue to see an escalation of conflict in the context of venezuela versus the u.s. . but as well has been making headlines for weeks ever since opposition leader one
9:07 pm
quite though declared himself interim president just across the caribbean sea thousands have protested it's in the haitian capital against economic hardship and embezzlement antigovernment demonstrators are demanding that the president of the island nation step down there has been violence and looting and clashes with police over the last five days which have also seen for us. was really very little notice. that. the protests in haiti though have received a very different kind of reaction from washington than the ones in venezuela and you have to train go explains. protests are turning deadly that.
9:08 pm
crowd wants to president to get the hell out of his office. the next monday. they load his government for corruption for all kinds of cheating at the election. but enough that i want the nation is not just poor it's starving. the. rich people in the country going to. everything. the massive population that you. can use to be like a bit of polling 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 more power wasn't. actually a model of democracy that turnout was only a fifth every tenth ballot sheet was never counted for different reasons and some
9:09 pm
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 an iowan to put an old and entrepreneur ones its results and therefore i hope to put everything in place to make sure we deliver for all peoples but could such words of warmth ever end up turning into something like this how. venice. on a true. venice the drum government is not going to side with should
9:10 pm
be able 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 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 night. 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
9:11 pm
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 for mike pence 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 us foreign policy and men as well up neighbors on the map but it looks like they're nowhere near each other in the minds of those gurus of real democracy. serious demanding action from the u.n. security council after accusing the u.s. led coalition of killing sixteen civilians and injuring scores more and bombing attack on the border with iraq in. the aftermath of the incident filmed by our video agency ruptly you can see smoke on the horizon apparently the result of the
