trump on the north stream to pipeline project with russia after he talks in the white house. at the international live from moscow thanks for joining us. i'm not as warm that moscow is ready to deploy its new hypersonic missile to counter potential threats with the russian president stressed and you weapon would only be used in self-defense threaten to retaliate by targeting western capitals with his own new weapons lattimer putin threatening to target the united states with its new generation of hypersonic missiles if the u.s. bases intermediate range missiles in europe for quite a confrontational step quite a confrontational speech by the russian president. during his annual state of the

nation address president putin announced that zero on a new hypersonic cruise missile that can be deployed from both land and sea will undergo testing later this year r.t. as he goes down of more. another day another excuse to panic for the mainstream media for them for the second year in a row the flavor of lattimer putin's state of the nation address is faster higher deadly are you sure. you another room vonzell product to work on which is ongoing you know certainly be completed on schedule namely i would like to talk about the comm hypersonic missile going to do and that's a big enough trigger to get everything from the tabloids to serious outlets it ing repeat the concerns are not entirely unreasonable though the zircon mess is set to become a force to reckon with it's a silent assassin covering three kilometers in one second means zircon travels

nine times faster than the speed of sound the target literally won't hear it coming there's no hiding from it either it can hit both the ground and see targets within a range of a thousand kilometers it can be launched from either submarines or from military ships it is out of the box ready to use with the launch pads already in service yet the intimidating tech specs and to a bigger extent even the clip big headlines are obscuring the fundamental thing about the new weapon russia hopes it will rust away and fall apart and not a single shot will be fired huge and the word you would use a sure they call russia the biggest threat to the u.s. are over but i can tell you that russia wants to have an equal and friendly relationship with the united states russia is not for me anyway all our actions in the security slowly as a response. and so they are of a defense of nature but i need to look at it moscow says it won't throw the first

punch it only ever wants the missiles to be used as blanks during military drills but it's better safe than sorry the. construction of the north stream to gas pipeline from russia to europe is again in the spotlight russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has called on european and you firms to resist u.s. pressure to block the project last month washington's envoy to the u. companies to stop building the pipeline knew was more tortured it is impossible to specify restrictive measures he will always hit ordinary people like in syria iran and north korea and therefore it's necessary to stop imposing sanctions altogether the european union has been infected by the virus of u.s. impunity. and the subject of north stream two was also raised when austria's chancellor met president trump at the white house it was the first such state was it by an austrian leader in thirteen years the pair they weren't exactly seeing eye

to eye as peter all over explained. the austrian chancellor has given his continued backing for the nord stream to gas pipeline project despite clear objections from the united states sebastian kurtz was speaking after meeting with donald trump at the white house president trump has clearly said that the united states is against this project buying gas from the united states would not be a problem for us but as long as russia's price is beth of matter of united states russia is more attractive for us as upon on this issue i believe that as a former businessman trump can understand that we have different interests here the united states pretty much hates the north stream to gas line project and doesn't care who knows it in fact they've got as far as to put pressure on e.u. nations and on companies belonging to european countries saying that there could be potential sanctions put on them if they continue to associate with the pipeline the u.s. argument is that north stream too leaves the e.u.

energy infrastructure overly reliant on russian gas and that that could potentially be used as a political tool by moscow well that prompted the u.s. ambassador here in germany richard goodell to send out letters at the beginning of the year to german companies involved in the project saying that there was a significant risk of sanctions should they continue their involvement a month later the ambassador was again talking about nord stream to this time he said that germany should use the project to leverage against moscow a sentiment that was well picked upon and repeated by the u.s. vice president mike pence in munich just last weekend and the united states commands all our european partners who have taken a strong stand against north stream to. and we commend others to do the same and the austrian chancellor went on to say that from his meeting with trump it was clear to him that the united states is particularly unhappy with germany over this

issue however but has shown absolutely no sign of being willing to tear. up and damage its relationship with russia over the pipeline the flag of the up there is no one wants to be unilaterally dependent on russia but we receive russian gas not only the d.d.r. where i live but also in west germany during the cold and they don't see why the times today should be so much verse that we can no longer see russia remains a partner whatever the feelings of the united states the gas is stet to start flowing later this year when north stream too is fully operational it will be sending an extra fifty five billion cubic meters of russian gas every single year under the baltic sea directly into germany. who runs a german language news letter on economics believes the us wants to reduce europe's options when it comes to the gas trade the project is already so it is only beneficial for europe and not only for germany and everybody

understand this and it needs there we unite. america and yes. we have more possibilities this is exactly where once you want to go out there is no other possibility then i guess from us. the u.s. house of representatives has released a report indicating that the white house may be planning to transfer sensitive nuclear power technology to saudi arabia as in contrast to washington's long running efforts to block iran's nuclear program and democrat led committee has now launched an investigation. within the united states strong private commercial interests have been pressing aggressively for the transfer of highly sensitive nuclear technology to saudi arabia a potential risk to u.s.

national security absent adequate safeguards these commercial entities stand to reap billions of dollars through contracts associated with constructing and operating nuclear facilities in saudi arabia the report raises concerns over potential violations of the u.s. nuclear nonproliferation act it accuses the trombetta ministration of bypassing congress on the issue as well lawmakers are warning the move could destabilize the middle east a number of trumpet ministration officials are said to have been but regularly involved in planning the deal. and the ip three nuclear energy corporation which took part in the negotiations defended the transfer of nuclear information to riyadh i mean it would help to counter russia and china however saudi arabia's refusal to rule out you or anyone rich meant which could lead to nuclear weapons has sparked fears of transferring technology iranian foreign minister job ads or if

immediately condemned the leak news calling the u.s. move hypocrisy but as a commentator rockwell suspect the white house has iran in its sights if it really is funneling nuclear tech to the saudis. they were a day it becomes clearer to the world would was ollie's clear to us neither human rights nor a nuclear program have been the real concern of the us first a dismembered journalist now illicit sale of nuclear technology to saudi arabia fully exposed us he procrustes the idea that they would arm mohammad and solomon with nuclear weapons just strikes me as something out of a science fiction movie it's like dr strangelove it's very alarming it's a terrible thing to spread this kind of technology and this is all part of the. plan to destroy iran and they they hate iran iran is not promoting terrorism iran is not all the things they say it is it's

a peaceful country it's got a very small military and out of date military and they're not a threat to anybody it's this is really a horrendous thing and i'm so glad that whistleblowers in the white house get this information to congress. us not to just the small it has been arrested off the claims he staged an attack on himself authorities in chicago have charged him for funding a full support lisa report claiming he did it to boost his own career came open has the details. well just a small lat is an african-american actor he is openly gay he appears on the popular television program called empire and he claims he was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack however he has now been arrested on floating us disorderly conduct charges they say that he staged the incident and filed a false police report there was quite an emotional response from the police

officers who say that essentially he staged the incident in order to try and increase his salary as an actor let's see some of what the police are saying why would anyone is specially an african-american man use the symbolism of a noose. to make false accusations. how could someone look at the hatred and suffering associated with as symbol and see an opportunity to manipulate this symbol to further his own public profile. how can an individual who's been embraced by the city of chicago turn around the slap everyone in this city in the face by making these false charge claims the report was filed on january twenty ninth smell that claimed that there were two men who grabbed him they poured bleach on him they put a noose around his neck and shouted racial and homophobic slurs at him and also told him quote this is maggie country mag being short for make america great again

the donald trump slogan the police afterwards arrested two individuals who are identified with the closed circuit t.v. surveillance video and those individuals were released now in the initial aftermath of the incident there was a huge outpouring of support for just the small at all across the social media was on many people speaking up including many celebrities this is some of what was said in the aftermath of the incident we have a media that's saying it's a debate whether or not what just happened in just the small it is a hate crime it's absurd this isn't a debate higher how do you think this is how you have to be fired ailes and possible to not feel this way right now with yeah president and the vice president mike pence who like wishes i couldn't be married if let's just be clear home broken and furious reading about the attack on juicy small ads i want trump and all my good lunatics to bunin how homophobia existed before trump but there's no question

that since he's injected his hatred into the american bloodstream we are less decent less human and less loving no intolerance no d.t. at this point we're seeing many states. social media of individuals essentially arguing that even though the incident appears to have been staged it is still important and it was still an important part of the conversation and they don't seem to have outrage and they're still supporting the small lead now in the aftermath of the incident we saw many people directly blaming the trumpet administration for the incident linking it to donald trump however now that the facts seem to have come out now that small that has been arrested we're seeing many people are retracting their statements and so quite a bit of confusion will be following up on what happens next in this case but it at this point you know the indication and the charge of the police seems to be that this hate crime was not really one that took place this this did not happen

according to what the police are saying so we'll be following up with more information. things soon to know international back in just a few moments with the latest global news headlines. i would sit with you in terms of what obama has done personally i think he has not done now i think in syria for example in two thousand and thirteen when there was a threat of and we knew that the assad regime was about to use chemical weapons on a wide scale like he has done in. the obama administration should have responded with force and eliminated the capacity of the syrian regime to use helicopters and other if forced to trouble bombs on people that.

we will not be judged by what it is that we inherited we will be judged by what we give to our children we must accept responsibility to fix our nations and make sure that we fix them for the sake of the future let's stop looking behind us and believe in the clueless. we have we must have a new generation of people who will fix our countries for the rest of the future and that's basically what it is that we are offering nigeria. welcome back to our international numbers of venezuela's opposition a gathering on the country's border with colombia trying to force through deliveries of u.s. aid when there are governments ordered the military to block the convoys calling them a pretext for an american military intervention in early february caracas barricaded

at a keyboard a bridge with colombia on thursday president maduro announced the total closure of the border with brazil and as well a self-proclaimed leader one door has set a deadline of saturday for the trucks to be allowed through all of it's unclear what measures he could take to let the vehicles into the country speaking on wednesday u.s. republican senator marco rubio issued a stern warning to president. go live now to and he will activist richard becker thanks for joining us i could type in the program today what do you think is the motive behind the u.s. aid deliveries are they trying to help the venezuelan people in a time of the companies in crisis old is this a pretext for an intervention as nicolas maduro says well i don't think that there's any question it was a pretext and a provocation you know if we really look at the situation objective we take a step back the greatest humanitarian crisis in the world today by

a choir where half of a pack relations war two million people i threatened with starvation is in yemen where the united states has made it possible for a saudi arabia to carry out this awful war that's been going on there because a the next country because of badly needed supplies we've seen. the images of the starving children who are just going to vote in yemen over and over and over again we're seeing those images i have to point out coming from venice well i have i've been following the media widely and closely and you don't see any of this and are all people from the answer coalition who are either going to as well as say this. that while venezuela faces economic problems there's no question brought about mainly by the u.s. sanctions and other forms of economic warfare against the country we don't see starvation going on in the country so what is motivating the united states i think

that this is a provocation that aims there bring it about regime change the real objective what's coming next although the venezuelan opposition has set a deadline of society for those trucks to be allowed through those aid convoys to go through the border what options on the table should those trucks be blocked come saturday. well that's the big question that i would say that the billion dollar question right now is that what is going to happen i think that we are very positively on the bring new military intervention even possibly a new war against but it's well it's being orchestrated by the united states right to go isn't really a nothing character who was appointed by the united states who was trained we have the proof of that the evidence that for thirteen years has been trained by the united states and he was a college student exactly for this purpose. so what he's doing is

what it is is what is being ordered from washington and the fact that you have more criminals like elliot abrams now acquitted in charge and converging on the border along with marco rubio and martin removed from the so-called usa and he agency for international development which is just another arm of the cia show that they're very serious about bringing about a provocation there and you know so i would say that we're razor's edge in the guy with venezuela right now i mean just look at the wider picture out of the raw some pretty severe food and medicine shortages in venezuela for whatever reason that is the government policy the u.s. sanctions perhaps a combination of all those things i mean do you think the people of venezuela regardless of who they want and power how they want that political process to play out they just would prefer monitor to open the borders and just let those supplies through whatever they might think of the united states well i think that if you

look if we look at the the amount of supplies and they say it's two hundred times we don't know what it is i mean we have to say that is that. given the u.s. determination to bring about regime change to divide the country with the military either weapons or no shipments we don't know but we do know this that the all of the international aid organizations were actually every single one of them including those that have worked very closely with the united states government in the past are we using to work with the united states government in the delivery of this the shipment saying that it's so politicized that they can't they can't go along with supporting this effort and the amount of supplies is actually very small in relation to the population of venezuela so i think if you put all of the different elements of this together we have to see and that this is this is a pretext that is being being created but also the vast majority of people of

venezuela in the holes that have been conducting from outside are opposed to u.s. intervention but i think that very possibly we're seeing a very direct u.s. military intervention from me and together with the right wing governments of course of the aggressive. beca antiwar activist thanks for your time today your take on that story and all to international. now ahead of the a deadline for venezuela an envoy representing the country self-proclaimed leader dull has been confronted in washington by an antiwar activist calling spent kill was giving a speech on thursday when the disruption took place. i want to say these people are fried they don't represent events well and people they are representing the u.s. support is treated who this is a very dangerous situation they want to create a crisis at the border that would be a justification for u.s.

intervention. well the woman in that video was medea benjamin from the code pink movement the political crisis in one as well erupted in january when one way door declared himself the interim leader of the country and demanded a new election and swiftly recognized by washington and most western countries followed suit over the elected president nicolas maduro still has control over his military and the support of several key allies earlier i spoke to mr benjamin about home protest in washington and the standoff. i think it's a dangerous game that the opposition is playing they really are trying to create a confrontation if it was about humanitarian aid they couldn't use the u.n. agencies and certainly there are lots of other ways to get humanitarian aid into venezuela they are doing this purposely on the borders because they want to see a confrontation they want the. government to respond with violence

so they can show the whole world and use that as a pretext to start the next phase of this which would be a military one so i think it really is the opposition that is playing this very dangerous game and using the aid as a. prop in your playbook. corporate giants including dakota nestlé and walt disney are pulling their ads from you tube after discovery that paedophiles have been exploiting the video sharing site my colleague andrew farmer discussed the issue with the trunk of. we are all more than just used to these pretty well ads it's all these someone annoy me to you as you always want to skip before actually watching the video you want to watch but it is a great way to advertise but right now a number of big companies are saying no to this type of advertising after it's been noticed that some of these ads may come along with the videos that are watched

or commented by those who sound like real paedophiles in large numbers omega slate companies in the us have post advertising on you tube we've poss still pretty rural advertising through our advertising agency we have reached out to google and you tube to determine actions still take to eliminate this type of content from their service nowadays the reality is that kids get there for smartphones before they go to school and they learn to shoot or post just like that and in that case technically there might not even be anything wrong with these videos but when you realize what kind of comments you may find under these clips this is when things get really disturbing some of them do sound like they were written by paedophiles and for obvious reasons we won't show you any of these videos or any of these comments and another thing that makes authorities suspicious to me is just some of

these to seemingly innocuous new move very basic video you seem to be getting the very popular on they just give us an indication of how many people do watch them in some cases these kind of videos have been viewed by millions of people and as you've said these are just ordinary things absolutely random kids little kids do at home but the way it works is the more views the video scores the more expensive the ads get so all kinds of companies from car manufacturers to beauty johns like l'oreal or maybelline find their. glued to these controversial videos and other you tube algorithms are really making things worse because paedophiles can easily get carried away with scores of or commendations from you tube of similar video so there's something like a snowball effect with this so if you actually type in your girl it may give you

additional words like little or hot and so on. it's obviously a growing problem now isn't it if they said they're actually saying that they do not tolerate any offensive especially child related content and they claim that they always take the necessary measures any content including comments that endangers mine is abhorrent and we have clear policies prohibiting this on you tube we took immediate action by deleting accounts and channels reporting illegal activity to authorities and disabling violet's of comments indeed you tube official rules suggest that they will ban anything that guests gets posted that endangers minors and that includes comments but the trends that i have told you about show that there's a lot of work to be done there are still plenty of shady areas that have not been covered so you may have to rethink the ways they actually deal with this those are
