breaks diplomatic relations with colombia president of accuse the country of riots on the border. liberties. more than eleven thousand protesters flood the streets of france yet again for a fifty. government on the rest. being evicted from the flats he's lived in for almost a quarter of

a century to make room for a few deeds. would be i cannot believe that the seventy four year old pensioner can suffer all these troubles even the one paying my rent well asylum seekers and getting it for free. international live from moscow. thanks for joining us on the program. of. diplomatic ties with colombia has already started putting its diplomats out of venezuela that's off the president maduro shut down most of the border to prevent u.s. aid deliveries from entering colombia of helping venezuelan opposition activists storm checkpoints. not pull them out so you support we can continue supporting aggression from colombian territory so i've decided to cut all political and

diplomatic ties with the fascist colombian government and this ambassadors must leave in twenty four hours. of standing to protect the lives and well being of colombian public servants they return to colombia will be organized as soon as possible like you're going to. a local reporters are saying seven people have been injured during clashes on the venezuela colombia border you can see the live pictures just on the screen here behind me usa deliveries are trying to cross among those crowds a group of writers also set a bus on fire. was venezuelan soldiers have been using tear gas to push people back president maduro has also closed the border with brazil self-proclaimed leader one go door hazard to the military to allow aid into the country by saturday and the situation spiraled out of control as that deadline expired.

god was. was was. was oh it was. well here at the t. and d. disparate crossing right on the colombian venezuelan border on the colombia side you can see venezuela behind me there was a lot of momentum here the small inning to get these so-called humanitarian aid trucks through but for now it seems to have largely fizzled out here. made an appearance this morning he climbed up on one of the trucks addressed the crowd and he made a statement standing alongside his allies and the president of chile. when the president of paraguayan and western correspondents were saying that it would be

leading what they called a human wave across this bridge surrounded by protesters and himself had called for a humanitarian avalanche but is nowhere to be found at least here and. what i've been told is that why don't he's actually left now the other bridge crossings in the area have seen violent clashes indeed now one humanitarian aid truck was reportedly even set on fire at one point protesters uprooted a tree trunk and used it actually is a battering ram against venezuelan police vehicle in another instance protesters from both sides were throwing rocks at one another. both nicolas maduro and. have called for protests from their respective supporters there was an opposition protest in near caracas where protesters surrounded an air force base.

now julie and brazil have said that this so-called humanitarian aid has actually entered venezuela at some of the crossing points but that's certainly not the case here is the humanitarian you know these these trucks are still sitting on the colombian side of the border just a few hundred meters ahead of me and the bolivian president evo morales has denounced this and said it's a trojan horse that the u.s. he accused the u.s. of attempting to smuggle weapons under the cover of humanitarian aid and considering the involvement of the state department special envoy to venezuela elliott abrams who did just exactly that back in the one nine hundred eighty s. under the reagan administration it seems to be a legitimate concern now the latest is that venezuela's president nicolas maduro has ordered the he's cut all ties with colombia so a total diplomatic rupture which is certainly a disturbing development but it's all quiet here it indeed does bridge but the

other crossings there are clashes going on. the u.s. national security advisor john bolton is calling on the venezuelan armed forces to turn against the president when dura in a tweet he threw down the aisle to mater. venezuela's military has a choice embrace democracy protect civilians and allow in humanitarian aid or face even more sanctions and isolation. three members of venezuela's national guard deserted their posts on the border and try to flee to colombia or about to show you the moment they try to ram their vehicle through security cordon into colombia warning you may find the video distressing. that was was.

was. was. meanwhile thousands of people have been showing their support for president maduro speaking at a rally on saturday he called on venezuelans to take to the streets to defend the country's independence he denounced god or as an american pop it. also on saturday when you go door addressed the venezuelan people. i call for the people of venezuela to side with the constitution today venezuela needs us all to be united and to defend our people the crisis in the country has caused global shock waves according to the no war on venezuela movement there are now one hundred fifty campaigns worldwide against us interference in the country we heard from one ak antiwar activist who was at that protest in new york. this was a day for the people of the world the grassroots movement to make their voice heard

against another u.s. war a war that's for oil that's for in her realist domination and has nothing to do with humanitarian aid as there is no war that the us has ever fought that has been for humanitarian purpose it will raise a firestorm within latin america that is absolutely clear destruction of the economy of venezuela this is a crime that the us is community there and saying that there is chaos and the us intervention is needed but who is causing the economic destabilization in venezuela it's a seizing of venezuela's own funds and the an imposition of sanctions on the blocking of train that the us is orchestrating with the venezuelan opposition blaming the government for severe shortages of basic goods one of us a good journalist in caracas says not everything is as it seems like split will

fall went to a local market. and say there was no truth face to truth broaches. that is where. the real truth. this is so. the women's collective experience so it's really it's better than that i can see. we can see the. price constant. here we have all the meats there's a lot of food same here today you know where you're seeing here really we're still going to be completely right you are seeing this for training and meanwhile the u.s. is keeping up pressure. venezuela's economy with sanctions against the country's state oil company and as well it will is finding its way though on to the u.s.

market according to the international energy agency trade has the return to the level before washington imposed those sanctions as you can see there was a brief slump which was restored within weeks u.s. security advisor john bolton had announced the restrictions in late january. we're going to announce sanctions against patrol is to venezuela sociedad name were paid a vase as it's known by its spanish acronym the state will monopoly we have continued to expose the corruption of moore and his cronies in today's action ensures they can no longer loot the assets of the venezuelan people both and made that announcement after washington recognized venezuela's opposition leader. interim president under the sanctions american firms can continue to purchase venezuelan oil payments though should be made into accounts not tied to the would do are government economist and founder of the center of american strategic studies

chemical was they outlined why the sanctions haven't heard the u.s. all that much. i own the bones of our life and its 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 give. the friends were allowed to there was right and that will end regime in. iraq those are sovereign state and it seemed that the united states trying to have. change this is the really a violation of international international norm and this is a. stability global but always america look at their economic interests whether whether the bones were low what it whether it is in iraq we hear that all the time. more than eleven thousand yellow vests protesters are once again

marching through the streets of paris and other cities across france the fifteenth weekend of unrest. thank you. five separate demonstrations morgan ised in paris alone six protesters are reported to have been detained in the capital there the yellow vest movement began last november sparked by public anger over a fuel tax hike however it's evolved into protests against government policies seen as favoring the rich online announcements for saturday's marchers appealed for peaceful action as support for the movement has dipped in recent weeks amid continued outbreaks of violence and the rector of the french economic observatory henry believes even after all these weeks the movement still unlikely to have any influence on micron's policies. france is

resisting we always skeptical towards neoliberal innovations and from this perspective it contributed to macro. failure as a representative of the in the fringe economy came into power to exercise definite policies to lower taxes for the rich in 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. german pensioner has been told to move out of the house he's lived in for almost a quarter of a century to make room for migrants. would but. i cannot believe that i seventy four year old pensioner must move out and suffer all these troubles even

though i'm paying my rent while asylum seekers are getting it for free it's wrong class roth was given a nine month victual notice the authorities are from us to find him a small of his previous one hundred fifty square metre apartment in a small town near stuttgart will go to six migrants a town with a population of four thousand is home to fifty five migrants roth says he used to work with refugees helping them to integrate. i was involved in refugee work myself for three years i attended meetings with asylum seekers at the cafe international to help them integrate into our society i was actively involved and nobody told me back then that they needed my apartment what's hot international do join us again in just a few moments after this short break.

as night follows day all paper money becomes worthless and that's the history of the last three hundred years and gold has survived and now bitcoin is synthetic gold or new gold or gold to point out except that it is has properties that exceed those of gold well see that now starting to gobble up as this enormous black hole in the currency space all free up money will be converted into a big point the dollar the yes the shackle drachmas. they're all going to go to bank like. my thought of who is the liar who will accept the idea what you shouldn't buy this new nose they're going the board of the six to seven with your was about as it's covered or we are going to be slipping i underline the snipping and go one step below the line which means that we will be

living in it do you find one the situation before it is light or will find its a no go to do you wish i was the north you woke up because there are clear. swat teams and i shall albania these in the group of nationwide protests over claims of government corruption opposition lawmakers have resigned on mass the morning new elections it was done off as this report. the it. was. the it was 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. those are top 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 in parliament that is not the product of the vote of the people but is a product that has been exposed by a judicial wire tapes published by the international media. organized crime operating openly with the current government alleged leaked phone calls of one of the country's most notorious cartels revealed dozens of albanian m.p.'s were happy to use the gang's 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's 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 there fishel position was to deny everything we do every allegation of corruption you know they were to do. i meant it evidence in there is allegations and but in this instance there are significant documented in evidence links between the current government organized crime money laundering and the trafficking of drugs and i think it needs to be ascertained as to whether the two thousand and seventeen elections were free and fair or whether there was buying and vote rigging going on and i think that is why

people that were sort of the cherry on the cake you know white people feel that they need to be said action taken 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 heroin 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 a political 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 its own europe that albania's mafia have turned into a dirty money cash cow doesn't seem to mind backing the elites to the lawmakers go against the democratic two as 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 the drug den on the course of integrating into the union. what they're doing is provided for in the electoral college and constitution of this country therefore what they are doing is completely one hundred percent democratic yes it's causing a political crisis but this political crisis is only happening because there are serious allegations of election rigging. i think that the e.u. and the us i don't know whether it's ignorance or whether they have some other

agenda but there is i mean people are shocked at the way that they're behaving and they've systematically failed to address any of the protests in albanian over the last year the protesters are angry about this civil society is angry about this me as a journalist i'm angry about this because the fact two to three opposition m.p.'s resigning is democratic it's the pinnacle of democracy. may be deported to russia resign years next month according to her lawyer she was detained an accused of being a russian agent by the u.s. department of justice this summer driscol says he is hopeful that she will be released in two to six weeks and join my colleague neil harvey earlier to discuss the case. 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 or matter of weeks and then at that sentencing. if it's time served sentence should be deported fairly soon thereafter always wanted to return to russia that's been her goal from the beginning and so given that 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 the u.s. authorities might hold for example 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 for people who maybe aren't familiar with this case they want click on their knees and they hear this story. something about challenges failure and to register is a foreign agent in another country they had mention of on a chapman people will immediately the thought thinking so she is spying 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 and the torsion who she had known through the gun rights movement was a mentor to her so it's very different then a typical case as is has no similarities with anna chapman who at least was alleged to have been involved in passing of cash and drops and had secret communication devices and things like that there's the headlines for this i will from the team and myself thanks for staying with us and all the international join us in about

thirty five minutes for the latest global news headlines. as far right parties obsess about the danger is them presents to the western lifestyle some islamic scholars are concerned about the opposite of our no advantage argues the dead muslims don't step up their game within the next twenty

to forty years islam may vanish from europe are those fears really justified. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution here to the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it just the war here i mean your lists. you belong to the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen . those who took part in this today over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. so

listen. my guess is that i said i just. said there are those who are. and they have the right if this was. the guy who was the one out the money i don't know i don't want to well. thank you very much yes one of the outlets received a. form with a. lot of a subtle stemming with. the words. give it a little and you know what. i want. a wobble and so off my shoulder i thought i'd go for this i don't like the.

you. know welcome sure exactly the nice this is a comedy show where americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents. i bring to 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 and inefficient activity each office

includes inspector general and employees charged with and. besta gating 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. like. you 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 randy but is not of course on board he he i just saw him walk out with like a trillion dollars. is. it is 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 to save it. well here's the thing whistleblowers have come forward and not just a few over a thousand of them in three years when i go to bed bugs at a motel six they are everywhere right so i wonder how the inspector general handled this here's directly from the government accountability office. the majority of civilian and contractor and sub contractor complaints closed by d.o.d. inspector general in two thousand and thirteen through two thousand and fifteen one thousand nine hundred four of one thousand one hundred ninety seven or about ninety one percent were closed without investigation overall thousand cases of room cries all against whistleblowers weren't even investigated and that's just

from twenty thirteen through twenty fifteen and that's just the employees who had the nerve to stand up and say something about the wrongdoing or corruption at the pentagon to raise their hand to go yeah i'd like to risk my job my career and maybe even my life to point out there you have other components like an amish school teacher. almost twelve hundred complaints by whistleblowers over three years that's a whistleblower every day a whistleblower ignored every single day trying to take that into your head every single day seven days a week at the pentagon a whistleblower comes forward and says they face reprisal for blowing the whistle on fraud or abuse then the inspector general ninety one percent of the time responds oh ok yours is a form to fill out once you're done.
