a german pension of being evicted from the flatties lived in for almost a quarter of a century in order to make room for refugees. but i cannot believe that i seventy four year old pensioner just moved out and suffer all these troubles even the one paying my rent well asylum seekers getting it for free. thanks for joining us this is. tensions of venezuela's border over us a deliveries from colombia which the fund is where the president nicolas maduro fears could contain weapons and he can see groups of protesters throwing stones over what appears to be the border. i. was i was i

was and was i. was i. am so in protest as on the border with colombia or set i mean a simple bus a light growing tension over us a delivery strips of fired tear gas and stone throwing opposition protesters who were reportedly trying to get us a shipments in president maduro has closed all borders so plainly the one guy does saturday deadline to let usaid into the country is about to expire on t.v. correspondent ann kellan reports from the colombian side of the border. well this is the t.n.t. to us bridge crossing behind me you can see this is where colombia and venezuela meet you can see the infamous shipping containers that we've seen in so many photos

this is this far as anyone is allowed to go police are under strict orders to not allow anyone to pass into a colombian president iran dukie gives the order for these ten trucks carrying six hundred tons of so-called humanitarian aid to cross the bridge and attempt to enter venezuela and venezuela's borders the police are saying that duke a may allow protesters to cross with them as well some of these protesters have told us they're prepared for violence so this could escalate into a real clash the the aid is is prepared to be delivered if it multiple crossings this is the last one where the deliveries will start at the other bridge crossings protesters who have been pelting the venezuelan national guard with rocks venezuelan. president in caracas the venezuelan president nicolas maduro has called for his supporters to go to the streets to defend venezuelan sovereignty.

the self declared interim president of venezuela made an appearance here just a few minutes ago and addressed the crowd now hyssop aid in this the red cross specifically told this quote not humanitarian aid mercy corps has also denounced this and said this so-called humanitarian aid violates the principles of neutrality and do no harm. now with the venezuelan authorities are expressing concern that these so-called humanitarian aid shipments could actually contain weapons and there are major questions about the involvement of the u.s. state department envoy to venezuela elliott abrams who in the one nine hundred eighty s. ordered his humanitarian and humanitarian aid officers to use their planes to deliver weapons to contras in nicaragua now living and president evo morales has

also denounced this and said this is simply a trojan horse scenario to deliver weapons to two opposition in venezuela now in cuba three million people have reportedly signed a letter demanding hands off venezuela in solidarity with the government of nicolas my duro at the u.s. state and any weapons are simply absurd and and it's and it contains purely humanitarian aid but the venezuelan government has said this is simply a pretext for an american intervention inside their country so right now we're we're starting to see protesters make their way a bit closer and many reporters hundreds of police are amassed in the area and it really has all of the ingredients for a. in another tenth episode on the border three members of venezuela's national guard have deserted their posts in an attempt to flee to colombia not to make calls

from the venezuelan opposition for the country's military to join their ranks are about to show you the moment the desert is trying to ram that vehicle through the security cordon and into columbia you may find the video disturbing. that. was. was. was. putting henningsen from the twenty first century news website police fear is that border violence will escalate on justifiable. it doesn't look like there's sort of a proxy paramilitary opposition force that's in place that would be able to cause any serious problems at the moment with the venezuelan police forces and also the

military but that of course could change over time if the those clandestine operations that a lot of people are alluding to with regards to the u.s. and shipping weapons in under the guise of aid over time this this could develop into something there could be so there could be developed in to destabilize a situation and once it is destabilized what we're seeing on the border these flashpoints this week those are very sort of worrying incidents that could escalate into a situation where you have more of these flashpoint and then it becomes sort of you know they have a sort of moral imperative the opposition that they're broadcasting. meanwhile the u.s. is keeping up pressure on venezuela's economy with sanctions against the country's state oil company the venezuelan oil is still finding its way onto the u.s. market according to the international energy agency trade has nearly returned to the level before washington imposed sanctions and as you can see there was

a brief slump which was restored within weeks your security advisor john bolton and announced the restrictions in late january. we're going to announce sanctions against the troll is to venezuela associates. were paid a vase as it's known by its spanish acronym the state will monopoly we have continued to expose the corruption of maturer own distro knees in today's action ensures they can no longer loot the assets of the venezuelan people. both made that announcement after washington recognized venezuela's opposition leader is the interim president under the sanctions american firms can continue to purchase venezuelan oil pavement should be made into account and not tied to the government economist and founder of the center of american strategic studies outlined why the sanctions haven't hurt all deliveries to the us all that much. i own and it's oil

that has the largest reserves in the world and i think they wanted the oil and they want it to. government loyal to them and they think that if they keep. the friends will lead to their site and will and the regime in and in. those are sovereign state and it seemed that the united states trying to. change this is the really a violation of international international norm. for the stability of our global always america look at their economic interests whether whether the burns were low what it whether it is in iraq we hear that all the time with the venezuelan opposition blaming the government for severe food shortages what investigative journalist in caracas said that not everything is as it seems my experiment all went to a local market this is what he found. yes there was no toothpaste or toothbrushes

and that is where. this is so i mean. it's really it's better than. i. can see i i. i. think here we have all the meats there's a lot of protein here today. you know what you're seeing here really i would scold my. you be completely right i mean. more than eleven thousand protesters are once again marching through the streets of paris and other cities in france it's the fifteenth weekend in a row such demonstrations have taken place today's event seen an appeal for calm

after the violence witnessed over the last few months. i. thought. five separate demonstrations were organized in paris alone six protesters are reported to have been detained the other verse movement it began last november as a stand against planned increases to fuel taxes but it's evolved into protests against government policies seem to be favoring the rich online announcements for saturday's marches appeal for peaceful action the support for the movement has dipped in recent weeks amid continued outbreaks of violence with the french economic observatory star didn't believe that even after all of these weeks the movement's the unlikely to have an influence on my plans policy. says resisting. skeptical towards neoliberal innovations and from this perspective

it contributed to macros failure as a representative of the talent in the french economy came into power to exercise definite policies to lower taxes for the rich and businesses to keep wages low to cut back social spending and so on it's obvious that he won't give up on the stances due to the yellow vests this week during discussions on unemployment benefits we see that macron aligns with his strategy he condemns social services partners he intrudes into their talks in a very disrespectful manner preserves his line of a contemptuous technocrat. coming up a german pensioner is evicted to make way for refugees and i'll be speaking exclusively to the lawyer of maria but tina who has been charged with being a russian agent in the u.s. if he names a date for her deportation those stories after the break. but

the numbers. matter us is over one trillion dollars. more than ten white collar. eighty five percent of global he longs to be. eight percent world market thirty percent some with one hundred twenty three for chicken per second and this one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars a year. but don't let the numbers over. the only number you need to remember one one business for them is the one and only.

come back. may be deported to russia resilience next month according to her lawyer she was detained and accused of being a russian agent by the u.s. department of justice in july but driscoll says he says she will be released in two to six weeks and he joins me on the line down to discuss this more detail. pleasure to have you all right but first of all just how confident are you that your client will be deported and what potential step while the sentence is ultimately up to the judge and so as a matter of law she faces up to the maximum sentence we're asking for a sentence in the zero to six month range and she's already served seven months so

if the judge will. with our recommendation it would be a time serve sentence and so far the government hasn't taken a position that's different than that so we're hopeful but it again not to raise expectations too much it's going be up to the judge to end the day but we're hopeful we have a strong case to make the hang up is really going to be the timing of the sentencing hearing we have a status conference for the judge on tuesday and will inform the judge kind of where we're at in terms of cooperation i will make a presentation as will the government prosecutors and hopefully that point will set a date maybe in a few weeks or a month to hopefully have a sentencing. you know fairly soon a matter of weeks and then it had sentencing. if it's time served sentence should be deported fairly soon thereafter so i mean pretty much what we're garlits what the sentence is when the sentence is over deportation should happen you know fairly

shortly thereafter within a matter of days or maybe weeks but i think days it is the deportation something automatic is something you've had to sort of towards why why would the judge let a guy is there are certain. crimes that are mandatory deportation crimes in the u.s. most felonies and she's pleading guilty to one count of a felony and so that is a. a deportation. offense and so i've been working with immigration and customs so that we could expedite that process so she won't have to go through you know a separate deportation process or a lengthy deportation process after the. sentence is done so it's it's not a problem for us i mean she's always wanted to return to russia that's been her goal from the beginning and so given that's her position you know i'm working with the

government officials to make that happen as quickly as possible so as the sentence is done. do you feel as though you'll fully informed on exactly what's going on you have a pretty good idea of where this is heading could there be surprises that any of the cases that u.s. authorities might hold for example. yeah we'll there's always there's always a risk i mean obviously under cooperation agreement she has to agree to you know she's agreed to cooperate with the government and if the government has more things for her to cooperate with her more questions they have they could conceivably keep her a bit longer also you know you just never know when you go to court i mean things are up to the judge and even if you think you have a good argument. and you think you're on solid ground i look back to general flynn about a month ago had a situation where the government and his defense lawyers agreed on a sentence and they went to sentencing in the judges agreed in the sense and got put off by by a couple of months so i mean those kind of things can happen but i again i feel

confident we have a good solid basis for what we're requesting i don't think the government has a strong view in opposition to it i don't think they're looking to keep her any longer than they need to and so i think it's a matter of essentially working cooperate with this point with the court to get her back to russia as soon as we can. have there been precedents for a similar situation and registered phone agents being deported. well this is kind of a unique case in that it where she is a russian national who has no i mean typically when the with the statute has been invoked it's been with people who have actual relationships with intelligence services and there ends up being i mean anna chapman i think was was deported within days of her arrest within a week or two usually when new in espionage type cases you know there's that exchange where there's

a just immediate deportation where someone is sent out this is a strange case in that there is there isn't a any kind of intelligence connection she's simply our russian national who was accused of acting as an agent in a particular instance so it's kind of a unique case but we are looking to you know again the goal early on i mean we asked her what her goal was or i asked her representing her and her goal is to get back home for a family and so that's what we're trying to accomplish as quickly as possible and i don't know when the last time robot you actually have a chance to to meet with your client but how would you describe the condition she's being kept in and the physical or mental well being. went. a week i saw her wednesday night i think was the last time of seeing r.l.c. or tonight. she's doing well she's out of solitary confinement and has been for a number of weeks which has her

a bit more freedom of the facility and i think it's still fairly rugged conditions most people would consider them you know if you saw them yourself but i think she's doing while she takes a very spiritual view. of life and as they get an optimistic view she's she's doing well physically and you know mentally i think it's always hard incarceration as hard as i think it's a lack of control that i think most citizens. aren't used to where you're you know incarcerated really don't have any freedom as to when you do things and when you're out of your cell but we visit her almost every day myself or the other lawyer offered carrie so you know she's doing i think pretty well and she's looking forward to resolving this and getting home as soon as she can and just funny role but i just want to you know for people who maybe aren't familiar with this case they want click on their knees and they hear this story. you know something about chauncey's failure and to register as

a foreign agent in another country they had mentioned ivana chapman people immediately the thought thinking so she is spying how do you explain the difference to me is case and the cases that john chapman. yeah i mean i think that's very important is that the government is not even alleging she's a spy the government did not charge her with espionage the government in charge her with having classified information what this case is about where the government charged her with was acting as an agent of a foreign official in particular alexander torsion who she had known through the gun rights movement was a mentor to her base of the government takes the position that if she did anything at his direction while she was in the united states without registering with the attorney general that violates u.s. law. now what she did was an illegal in and of itself she didn't do anything on lawful she didn't do anything to undermine the u.s. she wasn't working to obtain classified information she was simply doing peace builder so it's very different then

a typical case as is has no similarities with anna chapman who it least was alleged to have been involved in passing of cash and drops and had secret communication devices and things like that. she literally was a student at american university but some of these communications she had with the home country the government views as as would have required registration but if she had registered every. it would have been illegal so it's really in some ways it's a registration of feds which doesn't mean it's not an offense under u.s. law i think you know obviously when this is done there should be a broader discussion between both countries about whether these foreign agent type of laws make sense because it's really a risk i think on in both countries that they can be overused i think that that a lot of people think that may have been an overreaction in this case but that's the that's what the law is now we can hopefully work on getting her

a relatively. short sentence and getting her home as soon as possible you know i think that was a really important clarification and i'm very glad to get you all maria buthe. in other news a german pensioner has been told to move out of the house that he's lived in for almost a quarter of a century in order to make room for migrants with. i cannot believe that i seventy four year old pensioner move out and suffer all these troubles even the ones paying my rent well asylum seekers and getting it for free it's wrong. klaus rolf was given a nine month eviction notice the authorities promise to find him a small a flat his previous one hundred fifty square metre apartment in a small town is that go it will go to six migrants the town with a population of four thousand is home to fifty five migrants well says he used to work with refugees helping them to integrate. i was involved in refugee work myself but for three years i attended meetings with asylum seekers at the cafe
