a deadline. imposed by its opposition leader. in the country of albania. corruption protests. and we speak. to make.

believe that. even the one. program here on the international. the political standoff in venezuela is escalating a deadline to let the u.s. aid into the country imposed by. deliveries happening amassing at the border with colombia but the trucks are being blocked by venezuela's elected president nicolas maduro. they may contain the weapons the venezuelan foreign minister. forces are trying to push his country too . violence. at them in brief the country is at peace and his comb but there are

those directly from the united states us who want to force a situation such as you know one of the venezuela or the with who owns me and i hand it out and generate violence in venezuela violating venezuelan sovereignty that's what i mean you know in this way u.s. insists its aid mission is peaceful but the state department branding claims is being used as some kind of cover as proposed tourists others have stressed that it is up to venezuela whether at all to accept the aid of a south african ambassador to the u.n. says no deliveries should be made without president maduro is concerned and russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman marie as the heart of our claims washington has an alternative agenda that actually has little to do with. this couple rows of things to the delivery of the weapons to venezuela's plan for the beginning of march and the sneer in several stages buys a neighboring country using the cargo planes over international companies we've got reaction to the aid standoff with historian kevin young. what's very clear is that

what washington is trying to do and what the opposition led by the way bill in venezuela is trying to do is to provoke the venezuelan government into violence into repression into extreme action trying to provoke it to do something which could be used as a justification for sure u.s. military action stations against the economy. illegal under international law of course have cost them as well as six billion dollars so when you compare that him out to the amount of so-called humanitarian aid that's being pledged from the u.s. and from richard branson in this crass political spectacle it's very apparent that not only is that money a drop of a drop in the bucket comparatively speaking but the motives behind it are no. thing

but cynical. you know. or for richard branson or the venezuelan opposition had any interest in helping the people of venezuela in helping the cause of economic recovery in venezuela the pressure for an end in the needy and us which are causing so much damage meanwhile billionaire richard branson organized a benefit concert for the people of venezuela that was held across the border in colombia a correspondent dan cohen was. don't be fooled by this festive atmosphere all around me where we see a music going on this is actually one of the most geo politically hot spots in the world right now behind me on my right you can see the t.n.t. just bridge crossing between colombia and venezuela i'm on the colombian side where this concert is happening it was organized by richard branson the british billionaire let's take a look at what he had to say. and then some. interview with one who is also going

for the world to help and i decided to pick up the phone and speak with him. and see what we could do to help the wonderful free concert on the border to illustrate . through music the importance of letting letting relief into the country and the venezuelan government is holding its own concert on the other side of the border and that is why the president nicolas maduro has said that he will actually use except in humanitarian aid through the european union through the united nations now that humanitarian aid that the u.s. has in a warehouse just off to my right is said to be worth twenty million dollars now that sounds like a lot of money to you would be but that's a drop in the bucket when you look at the thirty eight billion dollars that u.s. sanctions have cost venezuela the red cross and many other major into. national

humanitarian organizations have refused to participate in this saying it is in the words of the red cross man to terry in aid. so. you know the dave also joined the mercy corps and said this actually violates the principles of humanitarian aid in terms of impartiality. and to another venezuelan border the one with brazil where two people have reportedly been killed and over a dozen injured in clashes between the venezuelan military and protesters. comes amid confusion over the status of the border president nicolas maduro had closed the front two with brazil limited the rao over aid but so far claim president wanted. to be reopened as well and foreign minister denies the government soldiers opened fire on any opposition protesters and while the venezuelan opposition blames the government for severe food shortages one investigative journalist in caracas says not everything is as. went to

a supermarket and this is what he found. lost in the supermarket this jesus there's a lot of cheeses and meats here fish heads fish heads rolie polie fish heads ok we got. that like so much me over twenty dollars and that's the problem here the problem is a scarcity the problem is inflation and speculation brought on by the capitalist class the fruit section. can't. find my shampoo and conditioner took me like a while to do that because there are so many varieties. my video was a response to u.s. media which is embedded with that that it's way that opposition and with the usa idea right now on the colombian border and and doing this humanitarian intervention propaganda show where they're actually claiming that there is no there are no basic

goods in venezuela at all and i was showing that in a fairly upscale neighborhood in caracas the supermarket looks just like the supermarkets in my hometown of washington d.c. i can also tell you that i was out today in some of the poorer areas of caracas and i actually encountered the vice president of venezuela del cielo rodriguez and the mayor of caracas erica at open air food markets around the city where food is being distributed basically for free to the poor and working class communities the problem here is with speculation there are high prices on foods and random situation that has to do with actually the kind of capitalist class here that supports the opposition the u.s. sanctions are actually allowing them to hoard goods and to make maximum profit and those so that's the irony here is that many of the supporters of the opposition and the big business forces behind the opposition are actually cashing in on the

economic crisis. so your gas has been fired on bob why a put up in the capital of the small bowl can a country of albania which is in the grip of intense antigovernment protests people want to get rid of the current cabinet alleging corruption on links to organized crime almost as an end piece of resigned on masterminding new elections so a correspondent you could have done if delve deeper into the story. the old. the end. albania is on fire the small book a nation has been engulfed in a massive anti government protests which literally left a stain on the face of the country's prime minister.

the us are the product of. the country's opposition decided to destroy their parliamentary mandates no kick the system out of order so what is going on well the allegation the authorities face is no joke a lot of people are certain the government is working hand in hand with the drug lords parliament that is not the product of the vote of the people but is a product has been exposed by a judicial wire tapes published by the international media. organized crime operating openly with the current government allegedly phone calls of one of the country's most notorious cartels revealed dozens of albanian m.p.'s were happy to use the gains influence and well persuasion skills to buy votes in the general election which the ruling party won by a landslide wiretaps also led to the official investigation into albania as former

interior minister he stands accused of passive corruption drug trafficking and of being an active gang member and here comes the twist the prosecutors can't really do anything but prowl around him since albania's prime minister has refused to revoke his diplomatic immunity shielding him from the law their fishel position was to deny everything and it could be a case of just a few bad apples but the opposition says it is not the sheer scale really of the drug operations in colombia of europe is mind blowing this tiny nation has become one of the biggest transit hubs for him. arion cannabis and cocaine smuggling racketeering a server police force in the pocket of crime lords politicians enabling the drug trade instead of fighting it this is what albanian protesters say drives them to the street yet so far they've mostly been told to shut up and know their place for

the democratic party the socialist movement for integration and other opposition parties to abandon their mandates in parliament undermine the basic principles of democracy yeah he's a little protest is apparently a violation of democracy in the us rulebook the same us by the way that suffers from a severe drug problem of the so on europe that albania's mafia have turned into a dirty money cash cow doesn't seem to mind of backing the elites to the lawmaker is going to give the democratic choice a full band citizens and undermine the progress the country has made on the european union path yes the e.u. seems eager to overlook the opposition's cry for help and set the nato nation and europe to draw down on the course of integrating into the union. a seventy four year old german social worker who helped al during germany's micro

crisis and twenty fifteen has been told he must move out of his state provided apartment to make room for migrants masterclass roth has lived in his flat twenty kilometers from stood guard for twenty four years. with. i cannot believe that a seventy four year old if you don't move out and suffer all these drugs even the one paying my rent well asylum getting a free few it's wrong. he's been given nine months to move out of his current flat mr roth has been promised smaller accommodation now his old flat will go to six. relocated to the local community at the municipality. has a population of almost four thousand and is currently home to fifty five migrants mr author says he used to work with refugees helping them to integrate into society . refugee working. three years and attended meetings with the silence on the international to help them into our society that

he was actively involved and nobody. needed him i am. so the deadline is just over a month away and with the u.k. preparing for life outside of the e.u. takes a look at a new diplomatic british politicians have been trying out in recent months the latest episode of in case you missed it. in case you missed it british diplomacy is going through a golden age the world can only look on and tremble with. britain is innovating changing the very definition of relations with other countries it's cold and see diplomacy in recent months and weeks it's been like watching an aston martin craft in slow motion and then. pressure again. and then river and crash again and then again so fast sign of

a new i won't plot approach to international relations was when boris johnson was put in charge of the foreign office for two years and amazingly he resigned but soon he was sacked then he was replaced as foreign secretary by a man named jeremy hunt did you know that johnson is a slang term for a mound. and hunt rhymes with the incident i think this centuries old fancy rhetoric is still in place although the empire isn't as they stand on its own mouth and prime minister to resign may's brags that tactic of going over to brussels and making the same desperate dumond's i need to get the same angry rejection from the e.u. doesn't quite work but it brings the desperation was also spotted in japan last week britain's trade and foreign secretaries told me tokyo to hurry up and make a person breaks that trade deal he japan reportedly counseled the trolls accusing

britain of being high handed and. put the matter to browse to no one is defense secretary gavin williams said and explosions have gotten very diplomacy without the guns a colonial mindset without the cold and the gun very gabs picked a fight with russia from day one telling it to shut up and go away part of that and see diplomacy i was talking about and now you. candy with his new aircraft carrier he threaten china with lethal force the guessing that the nineteenth century was in the nineteenth century so what china did responds cancel gregg's that trade talks i'm told britain to get over is empire itself that's a real diplomatic power lies in the twenty first century it is weak something to threaten the world's largest nuclear power world's largest population with just one point two percent of war said i'm sure everything will be fine often brags that these british politicians seem to know what they're doing. but the

more still to come here on the program on the south side i want ot see including that of the taiwanese opposition leader has promised to sign a peace deal with china if indeed he wins the next presidential election more on that in a moment. join me every thursday on the elec so i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see that. he's gone into a nihilistic fever. thank god the road and get out the travelling across

america to find what makes america the show it's the genius of this place the south american hero this is a point in which ultimate is done so we always are on the margins something. really important. we're starting west with. please. join us today almost two hundred people have rallied in haiti's capital port au prince two more people killed in last week's anti-government protests the mourners

were. which they later placed near the national palace after the second victim was buried at the local cemetery and. bullets and pellets were used by the police to disperse the crowd at least one protester was injured but the rally was fueled by mass demonstrations that hit the country more than two weeks ago with people demanding that the president resign. meanwhile a palestinian teenager has been shot by israel's military during ongoing protests along the gaza border forty other people also when. the protesters are calling for the return of occupied by israel. it is often international thanks for joining us. taiwan's president announced a reelection bid this week amid a boost in her popularity following her rejection of a peace deal with china in contrast to the taiwanese opposition party leader has

promised to sign a peace treaty with beijing if indeed his party is able to regain the presidency in twenty twenty a correspondent. reports. for china this island is part of its own territory but for taiwan china is a threat if you believe the western media narrative that this free democratic land need to defend itself from the imperialist the bishop of xi jinping skiver mintz china's threats to forcefully retake the island not just engaging in belligerent rhetoric it's trying to cut taiwan off further from the business community making the redraw their maps that taiwan is part of china it has long refused to rule out the use of force to achieve that goal taiwan has looked to the west ever since it split from mainland china in the wake of the civil war in one nine hundred forty nine but the vast majority of the year when members have never recognized that as an independent country and beijing in has always stuck to its one china policy.

from going up and taking responsibility for the nation and future generations both sides should pool our wisdom resolve the political rivalry and bring about sustainable peace across the taiwan straits your long term vision for reunification of the motherland. now taiwan's opposition kuomintang party is the chairman to finally resolve the dispute but it will have to wait until the presidential elections in two thousand and twenty assuming talks between the two sides a successful future cumin tang government would be within its rights to sign a cross street peace treaty to formally end the chinese civil war but taiwan's current leader has a more aggressive stance after announcing her reelection bid president china when made it clear that she still views china as a menace. to china's ambitions and aggression are not just targeting taiwan but also other countries in the region or even worldwide chinese state media says she's

playing a dangerous game the editor in chief of the global times a chinese state run news outlet called the taiwanese leaders reelection bid a quote crazy. progress of escalating tensions and a public support for the local government seems to be slipping the ruling party suffered a significant loss last november in the mid-term elections which forced chang ing when to step down as the party chair so maybe washington support is not going to be enough meanwhile in men when china people are optimistic with the next elections just around the corner this is a hole that these elections might bring a possibility of lasting peace their friendly overtures by that party. that's not surprising at all that's always been the way particularly in more recent decades president's popularity slipping they had been grooming that loss of popularity as an opportunity to course for stronger relations with china this

immediate sense about taiwan i think what they should recognize is that. people have very a clear view of the. state if their economy about the fact that their economy. so any sort of fear mongering around what it's trying to choose has not acted all on how timely people themselves feel about the situation. related headlines have been on the rise lately especially ones involving politicians. say racist nation how racist is the textbook definition of a racist comment. not racist it's obviously offensive racism is everywhere they're telling us.

white nationalist white supremacist a western civilization how did that. language become offensive. it's not just about the law. but if. you know a friend from the band you can incidentally do it and many say it. was a big achievement of us live in the bush to the bridge for some bloody old going to the brains of these favorite songs used in the front of the sun the stroke. there it is here about international thanks for sharing some of your saturday with us here in moscow ten twenty five am here in the russian capital we were at the top of the hour.

a yes welcome back to the night this is a comedy show where americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents. i bring you tonight more on the largest corruption scandal in american history and you will not hear about this on any of our fluffy headed mainstream media outlets however weirdly enough you will hear about it from our own government accountability office that's right we have a division in our federal government called the office of inspector general that is supposedly tasked with preventing illegal inofficial activity each office includes inspector general employees charged with investigating for all of the ways to be used embezzlement and mismanagement of any kind now that quote is from wikipedia which also states that i'm a founding member of the mexican band los needs most. he laughed

a little too hard at that one right now as i was awkward i wish i was in that band but their quote about the office of inspector general would be actually has that right so you would think that this office might have something to say about the twenty one trillion dollars of unaccounted for spending at the pentagon like you would big one employee might go for and be like. i just saw a guy. who works his name's ray and he was not of course on board he he i just saw him walk out with like a trillion dollars. is. in his pants. and since a stack of one trillion one dollar bills would be this is true sixty seven thousand eight hundred miles high those would be some crazy plans. is that a trillion dollars of unaccounted for spending in your budget you just have a deceive me.
