how. will that. given. washington hits the government with a raft of new sanctions while also pledging humanitarian support to the struggling country coming up in the program this hour an alarming new report reveals that almost one in five children worldwide are living in war zones with hundreds losing their alliance in conflicts each and every year.

on friendship a bill that would force schools to use their words. instead of mother and father on official forms we get reaction to the proposal. don't need to legislate for it parents. why don't we just give the kids. this attempt to try and get away from these labels and just try to be more inclusive i really don't see what. the twenty four seven used. to here in moscow this is our two international company . or a top story washington is continuing to ramp up the pressure on the government on

friday it hit the crisis stricken country states company and five nicolas maduro top officials with a fresh wave of sanctions the united states sought to justify the move by repeating its claim about the embattled president is on there mining democracy and continuing to violate human rights at the same time the u.s. is attempting to send emergency aid to venice will which is currently suffering the worst. humanitarian crisis in the western hemisphere but nicolas maduro is refusing to allow the food and medical supplies to be brought into his country from colombia he say's it's a cynical ploy by the trumpet ministration an attempt to justify a possible military intervention the venezuelan president has also had the colombian government which he's accused of flagrant aggression. for our part our policy for colombia is peace and respect i cannot say the same about the government of the colombian president even due kate who has war plans

against venezuela supported by the us im pire i am not exaggerating donald trump and even to kate in the white house announced war plans using colombia against venezuela. in the country's opposition leader one why dove is continuing to enjoy washington's full support he blames dural for the humanitarian catastrophe in venezuela said recently he hasn't ruled out calling on the u.s. military to intervene against the president whoever and explains washington's meddling in south america sometimes lead to disastrous consequences. elliot abrams the trump administration's new special representative for venezuela has been assigned the task of restoring democracy in the country and he says he's up to it just look how well he did in el salvador from the day the president was elected in a free election to this day salvador has been a democracy that's

a fabulous achievement yes the pro-u.s. candidate duarte won the elections but how democratic was the situation there were human rights abuses and death squads everywhere in fact one of the worst massacres in the history of latin america happened around that time for. now if one has got confronted about the gruesome details before congress yes or no do you think that massacre. was a fabulous achievement that happened under our watch that is a ridiculous question and i guess are no no i literally means i will make you happy

yes i am not going to respond to that kind of personal attack which is not a question now the civil war between the us backed factions and the marxist revolutionaries continued until nine hundred ninety two and slaughter by us backed forces also continue the death toll was as high as seventy thousand people but ronald reagan did not consider that to be a deal breaker the people bill salvador had another free election in march economic reforms are continuing and communist guerrillas are losing ground and none of this would have been possible without the economic assistance and military training and equipment that we provided so what have been the results is el salvador now a land of prosperity and freedom hardly in fact in twenty seventeen el salvador had the highest murder rate of any country in the world it is not currently at war those figures only decreased slightly in twenty eighteen now somebody might look at this and say well that was decades ago why bring it up now well the fact that

abrams wants to repeat his democracy restoration project in venezuela is certainly alarming and when asked about this before the us congress he didn't deem it necessary to give an answer would you support an armed faction within venezuela that engages in war crimes crimes against humanity or genocide if you believe they were serving u.s. interest as you did in guatemala el salvador and nicaragua i'm not going to respond to that question i'm sorry. but on friday our to america correspondent done cohen confronted abrams after a conference in washington asking him a few questions he didn't seem too keen on mentoring here's the video from twitter . what do you say to people who are skeptical. about you because of your history of using humanitarian aid to send weapons through the contras in central america you have any comments about but there are

a lot of people who are very skeptical. that you can say i'm i'm i'm doing my job you are to which you can walk and so i would say it would you what do you have to say about that. you lied to congress you were convicted of crimes. cancer another headline stories this hour the number of children living in conflict zones has doubled since the end of the cold war according to a new report by save the children the charity say one in five youngsters now live in areas affected by armed conflict. and your credit card the fact. that a while one mother kept a psychiatric door to get.

in and. they didn't tell you they had the how do you. have no idea what they did. but i think you don't want to chance. a lot of them and it is that. i am in good love. that was our. boss was subtle for us.

all not very heavy at me and tell me a feel. for. the higher to the heart. some four hundred twenty million children live in conflict zones at least one thousand of them die as a result every year since twenty ten the number of recorded cases of rights violations against children tripled almost that includes cases of killing maiming abduction and sexual violence in the increase comes despite many. the world's most powerful politicians campaigning for the protection of young people in war zones. forces continue their advance bearing down on the city of benghazi. home to nearly seven hundred thousand men women and children prevent images of amaze seeded children how many more children have to die the whole route the humanitarian

disaster that is killing tens and tens of thousands of defenseless children to the death of children the destruction of hospitals all that is a massacre which needs to be can. report today shows that right now almost one in five children on the planet are living in conflicts and that's more than at any time in the last two decades not heat up the consequences of living in these war zones catastrophic we have to make around three hundred babies are dying due to the consequences of war every single day well in twenty seventeen four hundred twenty million children what i think we're living in areas affected by conflict is an increase of two million on the previous year so what this is is really disturbing trend where more and more children are being caught up in conflicts in the international systems and here of accountability breaking down so that when people commit crimes against children they know they can get away with it so what we're calling on this for the government to stand up for children and war zones and

ensure that when people do the crimes against children held to account what we're really calling for today is for the u.k. government protection of civilians in conflict started first of all the u.k. government needs to ensure the curator of the heart of all of that defense diplomacy and aid and that they need to use their seat at some of the most powerful tables in the well at the u.n. nato to ensure that other countries policy well just looking through the report it identifies afghanistan iraq syria and yemen as being among the most dangerous countries for children nobel prize nominee and peace activist kathy kelly told us the international community needs to do more to safeguard young people living in those war zones. this children certainly can't be held accountable for their governments whether it's military war economic war and i think that because of greed and pride and dishonesty countries all around liberal

continue to wage war against the child their rights of the child should certainly be held countries could work together. much more effectively and so we have to take responsibility ourselves and then encourage other people to do likewise they must do everything they can to stop this war and to stop killing starving children. western intelligence chiefs are warning that al qaeda remains a global threat and say the terror group could be paused for a resurgence in the coming year peter over picks up the story. there is being presented as a real and present danger by the united kingdom how kind it has undergone a certain resurgence as a result of the degradation of diaspora and is a force that should also be taken seriously its deftly notes down and out the hopes

just a little strange. since the. order on my orders the united states military has begun strikes against al qaeda terrorist training camps and military installations of the taliban regime in afghanistan today we focus on afghanistan but the battle is broader since there has spread to all of these countries they've also changed the name as well in syria alone they've gone through at least three rebranding so whatever they call themselves they still control the lion share of the syrian provence of it labe the thing america is in the king to get involved as it was previously it is time to give our brave warriors in syria. a warm welcome home and it's also currently battling al qaeda in yemen since the beginning of twenty seven seen we have conducted more than one

hundred forty strikes to remove key leaders in the arabian peninsula and disrupt its ability to use. these to recruit train and plan operations against the u.s. and our partners across the region u.s. allies in the region doing their share of the heavy lifting in fact. the united arab emirates have been accused of passing weapons on to terror groups something they strongly deny almost eighty years after his slaying by u.s. special forces the woods of osama bin laden about the al qaeda network standout. it appears he may have been proved right al qaeda is showing signs of confidence what will threats and threats from radical islamic terrorism a continuing threat posed by al qaeda as it stands the look likely to be around for a while yet peter all of r.t. . protests have been taking place across india in the wake of

a suicide bombing that killed over forty part of military police and the rest of the province of kashmir on thursday after a pakistan based terrorist which the indian government claims receive support from the authorities in islam a but took responsibility for the attack. demonstrators in the film shouting out on t.v. pakistan's slogans on burning effigies on the country's prime minister the bombing dramatically escalated tensions between india and pakistan which have been fighting for control of kashmir since india's partition in one thousand forty seven.

but i want to tell the terrorist organizations and those who patronize them that they have made a huge mistake they will have to pay a huge price. well pakistan's government has firmly denied india's claims that it was involved in the attack and then as offered to help investigate the atrocity we spoke to analysts and both countries about what the bombing means for those bilateral relations. and a pakistani is being extremely extremely provocative and this standard may have just gone one step too much so yes i mean people in india and extremely have chance i'm not somebody who was saying you know wolf back to i think any anger in the country is extremely high so it's a constant fight and it's just a question of escalation you see an escalation then you see it is an issue it goes back and forth i don't think that anybody in india at a moment is in any any bend of mind to have a dialogue because you just blown up forty forty to be equal in the middle of you know of

a town so don't come to the municipality come on munich conference and talk about peace is to is to really make fools of everybody else in the world although you might recall that in similar incidents the media has been quick to blame pakistan for the of the mess which we have in the recent over the in the far. region what again they have a mixture of a lot of harsh words between groups countries to start with on it appears that there may be a similar situation and then we will find a solution as well to solve what we are certainly properties with number one comes up with hard evidence of voting volumes of and by person who swears he does of course not in this data which i think is unlikely and called gesture mohamad the group which has been in this possibility of the rare the suicide bomber who has conducted this that. he is the he's a because in indian controlled kashmir so pakistan has apparently not

a link because of this website or dark and the second possibility i think which is that in the broader picture last fall back and go situation xmas and doesn't the bush years in between india and pakistan. a new bill that would force schools to drop. all of their own official forms is making its way through the french parliament and causing a bit of controversy we'll take you through all the months right after the short of the break. the job of journalists photojournalists any type of videographer writing journalists is their job it's much more dangerous every year because so many people now see what we do is threats you know threats to whatever their narrative is whatever the propaganda is and you know the road like anything in our

culture and the iraq and afghanistan wars had to be sold to the american people. you know world big partners. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made history media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. with our international fronts is brace for

a fourteenth consecutive weekend all that yellow this protest against the money will knock a government these are live pictures right. in part as you can just see in the distance there a sizable amount of those yellow vests as well people making their way towards them not at what is happening their traffic is being blocked near the scholem's elisei it's not just something called and in other cities across the country as well organizers say they want to peaceful day of demonstrations but facebook groups reportedly called at four in certain direction. police are expected to be out in force as well we've already seen them putting up a number of barricades in parks. by way of a crowd control measure making sure that those protesters go in a certain direction hasn't worked too well in previous weeks we've seen the protesters themselves doing their own barak aides so far though according to other

twitter accounts i'm just looking through it's called the atmosphere of the people singing and chanting so far but a sizeable presence as you can see making their way down towards the arc de triomphe. shaun's elisei and central park this is a story we'll be returning to throughout the day here on our twitter oh. russian trolls are yet again being called out over there in a ferrari is some ticks this time according to radio liberty researchers are claiming that russian social media may have helped contribute to meas old site break in europe in twenty a scene but the trouble is the vaccine specialist colder than the u.s. government's funded outlets piece doesn't actually appear to support the premise of they are. we actually don't know enough about the influence of misinformation in vailable on line up on the nation intentions and behavior what they do know is that

the reason the amount of echo chambers in this well the article goes on to say and other factors believed to have contributed to the measles crisis in europe it suggests that in the macwhich health care provision a reluctance on the part of some people to vaccinate general complacency me all played a role but a health official in northern california gave us his thoughts on why skepticism towards vaccines has risen in recent years. for a long time certainly in the united states there has been a subculture that has resisted conventional medicine and this is its greatest manifestation has been resistance to vaccines so so-called vaccine presidency it is a lack of trust and in terms of health care and with regard to hospitals and doctors there is this becomes more profound it's an unfortunate consequence and metaphors station of a growing attitude of resistance to authority and

a feeling of disenfranchisement. on certain parts of the public has been going on for decades but it is excel rating in most recent years while allegations of russian bot farms attempting to for men debate about vaccination have been circulating really since last summer bill borum again is doubtful about those claims there are allegations that i think are motivated for political reasons to blame things on other countries what i've seen in a conference i attended that if anything the agenda of the ministry of health of the russian federation is to improve and enhance the health care of the population throughout the country it's very scurrilous and heiress possible to accuse russia or the kremlin of promoting this kind of misinformation. a.

lot of discussion about this next story french schools could be set to replace the words mother and father with parent one parent two on official documents that's after a new bill was passed by m.p.'s in the national assembly lawmakers in the countries that were high say proposal would challenge quote old fashioned family models now the bill is expected to pass the senate in the coming days but it's not been without controversy. this amendment aims to do law children's family diversity in administrative forms submitted in school when i hear people say this is now dated motto i remind them that today among union celebrated civil marriage to some ninety five percent a man woman couple. radio host john galt on human rights activist peter tatchell heard differing views on the proposal. this particular proposal is to try and ensure that the kids in the school the staff and the parents all feel included that in the case of you know two women who are parents to

a child that is obviously not appropriate to have mother and father there are two mothers and the same with ok dad is pathetic isn't it because they could be called moment mom well that while the proposal actually actually says he's parent one and parent two if they want to call them moment momos got a problem with that nobody's got a problem with a kid who now has got two two moms but we don't need to legislate for it parents who are on parent to what do we just give the kids a number other number seven it's nonsense yeah you know just the fact that saying with a parent are a minority doesn't make discrimination or second class status right if a child has two moms or two dads then i think it's probably not correct to say father and father because obviously one will be the biological father and the other one won't i would suggest that possibly an alternative or there's probably

a lot of hard to stomach on a comp a compromise might be mother to give people the option mother father or legal guardian so that the word legal guardian would account for the other person in that same sex relationship where my mother died when i was eleven and it would have been my own say so my own to it was really her guardian and she was my auntie nobody batted an eyelid and the same reason this you can record legal guardian peter that's not what they're suggesting they're suggesting you can't use the word father or mom and dad that's what they're suggesting this is an attack on the ninety five percent of people not only in france for around the world who are in the traditional family the traditional family is constantly being attacked at the moment by globalists. all around the world this is not meant as an attack upon you know traditional families this is just to broaden the or make the

terms more gender neutral so that everyone feels included all well has gone crazy these minorities have got too much influence in the media let's stop emphasizing our differences let's come together let's put the children first live from moscow this is our to international more great programs. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the ball different clubs on one hand it is logical to say the home fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective i'm used to surprising and i saw why not if you think.

i'm going to talk about football not for you or else you can sink i was going to go . by the way ways of that slide here. when goal may just manufacture consent to instant of public wealth. when the running clusters of protect themselves. when the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent of. the time we can all middle of the room signals. to lose ground i mean real news for. i've been saying the numbers mean something they've mattered the us is over twenty trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty
