hello there the latest developments and look back at the last seven days to new watch and we to hear an art say now we'll start with breaking nice to this hour because a camera woman working for a media outlet affiliated with artie's ruptly video agency was wounded during saturday's clashes on the colombia venezuela border colleagues of nicole say the vehicle almost killed her she sustained leg injuries they say the journalist was wounded when a group of venezuelan national guard members rammed their armored vehicle through a crowd of protesters as they tried to enter colombia the servicemen had apparently switch sides the incident left numerous protesters injured we're back to show you the video of the ramming a wall word of warning there you might find it disturbing. it

. was war trucks with u.s. aid gathering on venice why this borders have sparked increasingly face clashes at checkpoints between opposition supporters and those loyal to president nicolas maduro.

well following those clashes venezuela's self-proclaimed leader. urged the world to consider all options to liberate the people of venezuela he disputes the legitimacy of president claiming the last elections were rigged why don't also announce to his plan to meet with the u.s. vice president on monday to discuss the situation of the president nicolas maduro meanwhile has expressed serious concern about washington's real intentions in sending aid he maintains he's the rightful president of venezuela the post he has held since twenty thirteen and accuses of violating the constitution he adds to

that quote i was attempting a coup aided and abetted by the us and is while his foreign minister also blasted the white house accusing the secretary of state might pompei were fabricating reasons to start a war against caracas meanwhile washington says it is preparing more sanctions venezuela's military has a choice embrace democracy protect civilians and allow in humanitarian aid or face even more sanctions in isolation. the u.s. will take action against those who oppose the peaceful restoration of democracy in venezuela now is the time to act in support of the needs of the desperate venezuelan people and while thousands have been showing their support for president dora at a rally on saturday he called on venezuelans to take to the streets and defend the country's independence he also denied squire is an american puppet because.

i swear to formalise g.t. international second symphony as president of venezuela i added states probably recognize the national symbol of president one point you know as the interim president of venezuela we recognize and express our full support for the president of venezuela assumed by the president of the national assembly one it is clear that not just moore okla is not the legitimate leader. so you're not going to believe that the plan is the right person to take that is why the forward. looking out of. our lives could be meaningless how. venice trying. to turn how that's. been a strain are. we

seek a peaceful transition of power. at all options are on. god .

have zero five five five five five was. the the all here at the deep this bridge 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 smaller thing to get these so-called humanitarian aid trucks through. 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 and the president of paraguay 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 have rocks at one another. both because that's my girl and i want to why do you have cold for protests from their respective supporters there was an opposition protests in your caracas where protesters surrounded an air force base. now to chile and brazil haven't said that this so-called humanitarian aid has actually entered venezuela. 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 venezuela's president nicolas maduro has ordered he has 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 down cohen reporting there well meanwhile the red cross is warning that people on the border with colombia are falsely advertising themselves as working to try and get into venezuela expressed concern that this threatens the organizations image of impartiality. but a backlash against u.s. interference is growing there are now one hundred fifty campaigns globally against white house meddling according to the no war on venezuela movement we heard from one antiwar activists at a 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 us has ever fought that has been for humanitarian purpose it will raise a fire storm within latin america that is absolutely clear destruction of the economy of venezuela this is a crime that the us is community very there and saying that there is chaos at home 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 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 radio 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 they want this this phony cover to get rid of the elected government but we will keep you updated throughout the day on why those plan talks on monday with senior u.s. officials and also on those rising tensions on that is why this border. the air. now elsewhere yellow vests demonstrators have continued to vent their anger in france for

a fifth think consecutive weekend the french interior minute. stree says that more than forty six thousand people rallied across the country on saturday almost six thousand of them in pairs. well this weekend saw five separate demonstrations organized in the capital alone six protesters were reportedly detained their yellow vest movement began last november over fuel tax hikes but has since evolved into a stand against unpopular government policies ahead of this weekend's action organizes appeal for peaceful protests after support the movement dipped in recent weeks and made continued brakes of violence yellow vests have announced over social media they are planning a decisive act which is three days of protests started on march the eighth grades

or the french economic observatory believes the movement is unlikely to get any more concessions. lost his you still need to france's resisting will always skeptical towards neoliberal innovations and from this perspective it contributed to macros failure as a representative of the turn 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 the contemptuous technocratic. parts of the media went into a spin this week over that image putin's warning that moscow is ready to target

perceived threats with its latest hypersonic missile. threatened 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 us bases intermediate range missiles in europe despite his friendly relationship with president trump lattimer putin has vastly excel rated russia's missile programs and openly says gives moscow the edge over america but in his state of the nation address on wednesday president putin announces the call on a new hypersonic cruise missile will undergo testing later this year it can travel up to nine times faster than the speed of sound so it's both ground and sea targets in a thousand kilometer range and can be deployed from land or sea however the russian president stressed the new missile is a terror and not an offensive weapon. because usually as a word you can you. call russia the biggest threat to the us that i would but i can

tell you that russia wants to have an equal and friendly relationship with the united states and russia is not threatening anyone all our actions in the security solely as a risk. of a defense nature but i need to discuss what this new missile might mean for global security with experts i think is a reasonable massy you know i have to tend to agree with the sentiments that putin has expressed because i saw no purpose that i think the initiation of acceleration of the animosity between the two countries came by us is canceling out of i and out out of the treaty and that opened up the door for this so i think it's reasonable for defensive purposes to do this i think we're a lot safer then the people in washington and the people who build our weapons claim we are because even if it's not for the fact of aggression and starting

a war i think people when they make profits building weapons there are likely to promote problems actually in hans's the state stability of deterrent systems and the reason i say that is because deterrence currently relies upon missile systems or aircraft or different systems which are inherently detectable if america was to launch for example missile strikes which destroyed russia's ability to respond by for example talk to commander control systems the submersible weapon systems would still be available to actually mounts are a target for a strike on the united states which means hopefully the other side would be deterred from using its weapons arsenal to come on the way to the hopes for a long awaited peace treaty between russia and japan have suffered a setback we'll have a look at the details on not just off the broad. match

geysers financial survival guide liquid those that you can burn in to cast quite easily. to keep in mind though as a tremendous pleasure. for. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race often spearing dramatic development only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. thus far right parties obsess about the danger is presents to the western lifestyle some islamic scholars are concerned about the opposite of our nordland argues that

good muslims don't step up their game within the next twenty to forty years islam may vanish from europe are those fears really justified. just on five fifteen here in moscow welcome back now facebook suspension this week of several times has been described as an act of censorship by the international federation of journalists last week the social networking giant broke pages belonging to matthew media after a c.n.n. report suggested it was trying to conceal his russian ties well here's what felipe ruth had to say about the move. closing a facebook account or any internet link from the media without prior warning can be considered as an act of censorship opposed by the i have j or

a gas death has more now on the story and explains why to you why facebook's critics crying foul. what happened was unprecedented a channel with four million subscribers billions of views blocked or for its content not for saying anything malicious or untrue or hateful but just because of its nationality russian i mean c.n.n. which was behind in the investigation that led to this said it best so great viral videos great design you know and the content was pretty critical of the u.s. government of us mainstream media but nothing that would be totally out of the ordinary necessarily a lot of legitimate arguments but as we started digging into it we did find that the company which set up these pages over the past six months was actually backed by or why they voicing legitimate arguments critical of us foreign

policy totally journalist the thing to do criticize and discuss stuff right this is censorship selective biased unfair prejudiced and blatant regardless of what you think of ron you call it russia or anything else this trio c.n.n. u.s. funded german marshall fund and facebook working together to selectively censor is highly disturbing that this is the inevitable outcome of breaking facebook to censor here is a taste of the u.s. media acting just like state media a buzz feed reporter calls ran a colleague's video for russia backed in the now and to us readers because they criticize us foreign policy for example the venezuela coup attempt censorship is the most commonly used word in reactions to this ban and there have been many remarkable also is that facebook talked to everyone they wanted but haven't said a word reason they were justified anything to the folks they blocked face about

hasn't contacted i thought all the pages were just unpublished and. had an automated button we could appeal to which we did of course we have not heard a word from facebook and it's been over three days now the suspected reason is that it didn't reveal it's russian funding which no one doesn't face book and never have we did not violate any rules there is no rule that you have to post anything about your funding or personal funding on facebook no one does it not any of the u.s. sponsored outlets not any of the qatari sponsored outlets no country not china not turkey not russia not the us has to put these labels on their facebook pages there is no requirement by facebook that people disclose their funding the b.b.c. doesn't do it the c.b.c. is facebook page doesn't do it al-jazeera facebook page doesn't do it it's just not standard industry practice to disclose your funding on facebook you can't help but feel for the food media i know many of them to make quality stuff

funny videos serious videos investigations the poor the sauls into their work only to be cost the side of the whims of ceaseless censors personally i'm surprisingly calm because i've spent in the now was a project that i created from scratch it's in the now because the names that he's in now way like this is my baby. i spent the last four and a half five years of my life growing this channel. last year trying to build the team young professionals that really want to make good important contacts. so it's pretty big for me in terms of the broader picture it's huge oh it's huge all right the crime it appears was being too russian and this now seemingly is a crime enough to get your bad and the result questioned whether facebook should

have the power to decide what people see and hear i mean the theory beyond the internet was if more people wanted to see something. the list should be allowed to see it and you of the when you do internet searches the things that come up when you put a question in you're supposed to fund the thing that most people are looking at but of course if no started talking about changing the algorithms there's a lot maverick media would like to say to face book is anger hurt feeling of being picked on bullied is also understanding and a simple human plea facebook if you're listening what i would say to you is i understand that you're under in pressure from various forces to suppress this or that content based on political reasoning but do not succumb to censorship do not succumb to complying with various government funded out that's regardless of what government they're funded by to censor let your users decide what's good and what's bad do not get in the in the business of dictating. what constitutes good speech

and bad speech it's a slippery slope. and it could lead to disaster in the end facebook later told matic media it would be allowed back home to the site of the connections to r.t. made clear we discussed the story further with a talk show host jimmy door. this is a bunch of unelected bureaucrats in silicon valley deciding who gets freedom of speech based on completely random rules that are public and they make up on the fly that that's what so this is an actual censorship happening so if you're going to take away someone's rights you have to have a transparent process to do that you can't just do it willy nilly with a bunch of unelected bureaucrats in the middle of the night in silicon valley deciding who gets to have freedom of speech or not and that's what's happening right here and by the way it's happening in conjunction with the government which

makes it doubly horrible but it's not really being reported correctly in the united states because corporate media is in bed with the same people. that russia's foreign minister has ruled negotiating a peace treaty with japan on tokyo. after the japanese premier told his parliament . has more. this is been one of the toughest statements by russia so far when it comes to the peace treaty and talks regarding sovereignty over the chorale islands now speaking to asian media on sunday say lavrov stressed the complications of the situation which he says requires practicality when it comes to diplomatic relations so this means ruling out negotiations if they only depend on japan's terms. has told his parliament that he will solve the peace treaty issue. frankly i have no idea where he got that notion from the russian president you or anyone else taking part in the russian japanese consultations has

ever given our japanese colleagues cause to say that so lavrov has further stress there that russia hasn't given japan any grounds the such statement but developing on this point lavrov said that on the sidelines of the asean summit in singapore president putin and his japanese counterparts spoke on the need to speed up work on the peace treaty which if anything that negotiations are taking place not on japan's terms alone but on the terms of the document itself based on the nine hundred fifty six joint declaration now let's remind ourselves where exactly we are in these talks because since the mid twentieth century russia and japan ended world war two hostilities without any formal peace treaty now the credit islands and russia sovereignty over them remains a key sticking points and the world has said that in order for these this treaty to be signed japan must recognize the results of the world war two in their entirety including russia sovereignty over the islands of the correll archipelago but

despite the fact that moscow tokyo want to bring agreements to a whole new level here there aren't many points of alignments because of tokyo's close ties with washington in may donald trump plans to visit japan where issues concerning the peace treaty and russia are likely to be on the agenda but sergey lavrov says that this shows japan's lack of independence to a certain extent. he also highlighted the ministry union between the u.s. and japan being an important factor which russia and china can send them out and have discussed in japan and russia talked about this on numerous occasions when it comes to discussions regarding the peace treaty most gave us pointed out several times that it wants to boost the relations with take you but discussions regarding the peace treaty require much for the work at this stage. so that brings you up to date back again with the weekly top of the next hour don't forget though we've got plenty stories to it a website you can find that. in

twenty four you know bloody revolution of you tube clip the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it you know we hear a pretty meaningless put me in the new bill is that i'm spilling even to the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. those who took. it invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these another goal that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. my daughter could be is that i will accept the idea of course this would be ocean without palestinian as there is on the borders of sixty seven was there was that about as it's covered that we are going to be slipping i i underline the slipping

and go one step below i underline reality which means that we will be living living in it be funny one is did situation therefore is like it will find itself neither jewish as they claim nor do i woke up because their clear. countries gone into a nihilistic. that's what i'm thinking and they've got to hit the road and get out . of what makes america take the show the genius of america here this is a point around which hollywood is going to say we're starting last with is going to head east into the swamp to go into the belly of the bee i think i'm going leave now doesn't get any more gonzo ok maybe the play the difference in this.

that a field guide to fracking an excellent book you were a philosopher and then you got into this tracking business how did that happen what we do what we call field philosophy which means we take ideas about ethics and justice say bring it to the real world what's actually happened so i was interested in energy issues fracking was going on and. i just wanted to get involved because i saw it as a basically a justice issue right in denton is a remarkable all fracking story because it's the birthplace of fracking more or less as well as being the first town to ban fracking and then something very interesting happened what happened right at the texas legislature overturned they passed a ban on fracking. we all voted on the past.
