vehicles are torched on the venezuelan border with colombia as rioters try to break through military barricades the president maduro cuts ties with go to accusing it of fueling the standoff over u.s. aid supplies. more than eleven thousand of the yellow vests protesters flood the streets of france yet again for a fifteenth weekend of government on rest. we speak to a german pensioner being a victim from the flat he's lived in for almost

a quarter of a century to make room for refugees. but i cannot believe that i seventy four year old pensioner has moved out and suffer all these troubles even the ones paying my rent well asylum seekers and getting it for free. to live from moscow i'm daniel hawkins tonight thanks for joining us on the program this hour. a confrontation is building up on the border between venezuela and colombia protesters are trying to break through military barricade to let aid trucks pass through several vehicles have been set on fire colombian officials are saying two hundred eighty five people have been injured in the past twenty four hours and israeli media there were quoting much lower figures president maduro has ordered sole just the block. all checkpoints with colombia and brazil claims the

united states' aid convoys are a means of smuggling arms for the opposition and the pretext for a military intervention on saturday president maduro cut political ties with colombia expelling diplomats from the country. not pull them out so you stop we can't continue supporting aggression from colombian territory so i've decided to cut all political and diplomatic ties with the fascist colombian government and the ambassadors must leave in twenty four hours. to protect the lives and well being of colombia and public servants and yet they return to colombia will be an organized as soon as possible and not europe. or self-proclaimed leader of an israel or one of wide door had urged the military to allow aid into the country by saturday this issue asian spiraled out of control on the border as that deadline expired and trucks were still unable to cross. yeah it was god

oh my. god. oh god oh. well here at the t. and d. to us bridge crossing right on the colombian venezuelan border i'm on the columbia 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 now made an appearance this morning he climbed up on one of the trucks addressed the crowd then he made a statement standing alongside his allies and the president of chile and the president of paraguay and western correspondents were saying that it would be leading what they called the 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 in route 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 as 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 your 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 quite here it indeed does bridge but the other crossings there are clashes going on. the self declared leader of on his way

look one going door has said he will be meeting the u.s. vice president mike pence on monday at a regional conference in but go to speaking at a news conference alongside the colombian president he repeated his call for venezuelan soldiers to turn against the duro and promised them an amnesty the earlier the u.s. national security adviser john bolton had a similar message. venezuela's military has a choice embrace democracy protect civilians and allow in humanitarian aid who face even more sanctions and isolation on saturday several members of venezuela's national guard deserted their posts on the border and try to flee to colombia we can show you at the moment they try to ram their vehicle through security cordon into the country and warning though the video does contain disturbing scenes. but. look. back at. the end of.

the two was it was. the two 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 and defend the country's independence in the now is to go door as an american puppet. of the crisis in venezuela has caused global shock waves according to the new war on venezuela movement there are now one hundred fifty campaigns worldwide against us interference in the country we heard from an antiwar activist who was at one such 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 internal is domination and has nothing to do with humanitarian aid as there is no war that the u.s. has ever what it 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 that the u.s. is committing there there and saying that there is a chaos and and a u.s. intervention is needed but who is causing the economic destabilization in venezuela it's a seizing of venezuela's own funds and the him imposition of sanctions and the blocking of trade that the u.s. is orchestrating the opposition of course realizes that they have a big mediocre form and they are going to make all kinds of claims but they are the ones who are accepting shipments of arms that will be to many more deaths and

they are the ones who are creating a crisis on the border demanding that these trucks get through this is the wealthiest people in venezuela who could well provide for other people if they so chose instead and they want this money to get rid of the elected government and with the venezuelan opposition blaming the government for severe shortages of basic goods one investigative journalist in caracas says that everything is as it seems my experimental went to a local market. say there was no toothpaste or toothbrushes. in this way well here we are this is so. made women's collective it's been made so it's really it's better than that i have to say. we can see.

our rice. here we have all the meats there's a lot of protein here today because you know what you're seeing here really puts the lie to. the completely right u.s. media is portraying meanwhile the u.s. is keeping up pressure on venezuela's economy with sanctions against the country's state oil company and as well unoiled is still finding its way into the u.s. market according to the international energy agency trade has many return to the level before washington impose those sanctions as you can see there was a brief slump which was restored within weeks u.s. security advisor john bolton had a mouse the restrictions in late january were going to announce sanctions against petrol is to venezuela associates were paid

a vase as it's known by its spanish acronym the state owned oil monopoly we have continued to expose the corruption of manure and his cronies in today's action ensures they can no longer loot the assets of the venezuelan people. bolton made that announcement after washington recognized venezuela's opposition leader one door as interim president under the sanctions american firms can continue to purchase from as well in oil but payments should be made into accounts not tied to the muddy road government economist tom was in the explained why they will try to still going strong. i own guns well and it's oil that has the largest reserves in the world and i think they wanted the oil and they wanted to. government loyal to them and they think that ever they give. over the friends will lead to their site and that will end regime in an in.

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 out of our globe but always america look at their economic interests whether whether than 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 as well as other cities across france the fifteenth weekend of unrest. thank you. five separate demonstrations were organized just in paris alone six protesters are reported to have been detained in that city the yellow vest movement began last

november sparked by public anger of over a fuel tax hike however it's evolved into protests against the government policies seen as favoring the rich online announcements for saturday's marches appealed for peaceful action as support for the movement has dipped in recent weeks amid continued outbreaks of violence the rector of the french she could have a conservatory on reach third believes even after all these weeks movements are still on likely to have any influence on micron's policies. as you still need to visual france's resisting we always skeptical towards neoliberal innovations and from this perspective it contributed to macaroons failure as a representative of the turn 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 who's been told to move out of his own home that he's lived in for almost a quarter of a century to make room for migrants. with. 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. klaus roth was given a nine month vixen notice your authorities have promised to find him a smaller flat is previous one hundred fifty square metre apartment in a small town near stuttgart will go to six migrants and the town with a population of four thousand is home to fifty five migrants at the moment roth

says he used to work with refugees helping them to integrate into society. i was involved in refugee work myself for three years and attended meetings with asylum seekers and the caffeine international to help them integrate into our society i was actively involved and nobody told me back then that they needed my apartment. albania is in the grip of nationwide protests over claims of government corruption opposition lawmakers have resigned or masterminding new elections yours lot of has the details. the it. was. the it was albania is on fire the small balkan nation has been engulfed in a massive anti government protests which literally left

a stain on the face of the country's prime minister. start us out 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 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 of 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 albania 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 as early as next month according to her lawyer she was the tamed and accused of being a russian agent by the u.s. the part of justice back in july would risk old says he's hopeful she'll be released in two to six weeks enjoy 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 you'll fully informed exactly what's going on you have a pretty good idea of where this is heading could that 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 if 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. you know something about challenges failure to register as a foreign agent in another country they had mentioned it 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 on 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. those are their lines for this hour from the team and myself i could buy find out join us again in thirty minutes for the latest global

news updates. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical of time time to sit down and talk. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution to to correct the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it your style or here i mean your list put video and put him in the. new school in the middle of the former ukrainian

president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. those who took the lead invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. i've been saying the numbers mean something they've matter us with over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime happens each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent world market rose thirty percent some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and when he rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overrule. the only

number you need remember one one business showed you know bored to miss the one and only boom box. or. for my daughter for when i was sixteen novel writing month honestly did you know. just. a form of isis fighters and now boarding a philippine naval ship. but not for me ned my ninety dollars. just aren't abdulla still don't know what's waiting for them. there for people who will be

nearby and i do not feel so i'm. still. can't figure out how to get the man on the plane my. country's gone into a nihilistic fever i think and hit the road and get out the traveling across america to find what makes america the charlatans the genius of the quintessential american hero this is it we've come to a point on which elements gunsight we always are on the margins something. called the culture is really important. we're starting last with is to begin to headed east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the beast i think i want to leave now governor danny morganton on the net it may be

completely different but minister. it's like. you have them all out the lobby. me and and the big fish with a hollow in the name of the. house with the enemy bought a plane. he doesn't know what it was. that i see in our little. snuggle how. many got him up
