good evening great to have your company watching the weekly here are not. a camerawoman working for a media outlets affiliated with r.t. was injured during saturday's clashes on the colombia venezuela border the journalist in question was taken to hospital with leg injuries but is since being discharged now what you can see in a moment is the video the journalist was filming in the immediate run up to the moment when she was injured she was filming at one of the border crossings when a group of venezuelan national guard members run their vehicle through a crowd of protesters as they were trying to enter colombia leaving numerous people injured servicemen and apparently switch sides are about to show you video of the ramming i just mentioned you may find these scenes disturbing. i i i

i i i. our video agency mostly get hold of footage said to show the aftermath of the ramming people could be seen climbing of a bus in panic one woman if they bloodied face. media workers are finding themselves increasingly at risk is tensions in venezuela escalate in a separate incident and journalist is said to have been heckled by opposition activists and was forced to abandon a report the crowd reportedly became angry when she said that the opposition were in the minority the incident was captured on camera. for the. record i was i trucks with usaid gathering on venezuela's borders have sparked increasingly fierce clashes at checkpoints between opposition supporters

and those loyal to the president nicolas maduro. following the 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 maduro claiming the last elections were rigged why don't also announce this plan to meet with the u.s. vice president monday to discuss the situation president maduro meanwhile expressed serious concern about washington's real intentions in sending aid he maintains that he is the rightful president of the country the post sees held since twenty thirteen and he accuses of violating the country's constitution but those attempting a coup aided and abetted he says by the u.s. and as well as foreign minister also blasted the white house accusing secretary of state might pompei or of fabricating reasons to start a war against caracas empire though doesn't seem too concerned continuing to add fuel to the fire. they have a duly elected interim president mr gore though the american people have been most generous providing a couple hundred tons of food medicine hygiene kits for the venezuelan people and then will continue to build out the global coalition to put the force behind the

voice of the venezuelan people in all files instead of been showing the support for the rally on saturday he called on venezuela's to take to the streets and defend the country's independence and denounce quando as being an american puppet. i swear it's a form of. nationalism it is president of venezuela. and it's probably recognize national symbol president one point zero is the term president of venezuela we recognize and express our full support for the president venezuela assumed by the president of the national assembly. it is clear that this is not the legitimate leader. so you're not going to believe that. is the right person that's why the forward. looking only. leads do you mean this how the. various front.

conduct's. venison are. we seek a peaceful transition of power. when all options are on. yeah i was the

one. of. the. guy i've yet. to find the. well here at the t. and deep this bridge crossing right on the colombian venezuelan border i'm 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. 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 from rocks to one another. both nicolas maduro and one white though have called 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 have said that the 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 us 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 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. here while the red cross is warning that people on the border with colombia are all falsely advertising themselves as working for the aid group to try and get into venezuela expressed concern that this threatens the organizations image of impartiality video shows people with red cross emblems on their shirts blending in with the crowd chanting slogans and

humanitarian organizations demanded the activists stop wearing their insignia and we heard from brando altman editor of the news website operator monday he told us that the whole humanitarian aid campaign was aimed at undermining the duros control of venezuela's borders. its assault weapons who have true off that as well as borders or naught but the question is not the issue is not humanitarian aid is the control all that is available to clearly the white house hold down fall would be a fast track of gratian but move forces and the people off or we him and this in his support is going up as we could see yesterday well thousands of people market food . have aleutian. the backlash against us 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 and two war activists 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 fire storm within latin america that is absolutely clear destruction of the economy of venezuela this is a crime that the us is committing their 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 m imposition of sanctions 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 lead 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 money to get rid of the elected government meanwhile opposition leader were slated to hold talks on monday with senior officials from the u.s. on a number of latin american countries will be keeping a close eye on any developments. yellow vest demonstrators have continued to vent their anger in france for a fifteenth consecutive weekend the french interior ministry says more than forty six thousand people rallied across the country saturday or my six thousand of them

are in paris. this weekend saw five separate demonstrations organized in the capital alone six protesters were reportedly detained the other vets movement began last november it was over originally fuel tax hikes but it's say volved into a stand against a popular government policies of this weekend's action organizers had appealed for peaceful protests after support for the movement did it and it continued outbreaks of violence the yellow vests have announced over social media that they're planning a decisive acts namely three days of protests starting on march eighth for the director of the french economic observatory believes that the movement is unlikely to get any more concessions. last days 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 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 the contemptuous technocrats thinking it was a long thing sounded by media freedom groups have to facebook suspended some out if it had paid to state elsewhere after the break.

through. we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race in this on all fronts clearly a dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. my daughter could be is that i will accept the idea of course this will be ocean without by listening as they're going to one of the six the seven was there was it about as it's covered up or we are going to be slipping i underline the slipping and go one step i underline reality which means that we will be living living in it be fine one is this if you wish and therefore dislike it will find itself neither do you wish i was the north you're welcome because there are clear.

welcome back facebook suspension this week of several anti linked accounts is being described as an act of censorship by the international federation of journalists last week the social networking john blocked pages belonging to maida after a c.n.n. report suggested that it was trying to conceal its ties to russia is what felipe alou ruthann to say 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. . i guess the it has more of the story and explains why facebook's critics are 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 voiced seeing 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. reporter calls 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 talk to everyone they wanted but haven't said a word reason do or justified anything to the folks they blocked face about hasn't contacted us that all the pages were just unpublished. and it 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 as 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 they work to make quality stuff funny videos serious videos investigations the poor the sauls into their work only because the side the winds the 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 my aims and 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 rich are question 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 so. the list should be allowed to see it and of the when you do internet searches things that come up when you put a question in you supposed to find the thing most people are looking at but of course if no started talking about changing the algorithms there's a lot of mass media would like to say to facebook there's anger hurt feeling of

being picked on bullied but 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 men's 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 buffett media that he would be allowed back on to the site if connections throughout were made clear to discuss the story with

a talk show host jimmy door who sees the hand of the u.s. government to work. 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. also the media went into a spin more my say this week of putin's warning that moscow is ready to target perceived threats with its latest hypersonic missile threaten 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 u.s. bases intermediate range missiles in europe despite his friendly relationship with president trump lattimer putin has vastly excel rated russia's missile programs a movie openly says gives moscow the edge over america in his state of the nation address on wednesday president putin announced the new hypersonic cruise missile will undergo testing this year it can travel they say up to nine times faster than sound connie said to hit both ground and seeing targets new missile is a deterrent not an offensive weapon but as usual the word you can use assured the call russia the biggest threat to the us but i can tell you she was not for me anyway all our actions and assume that she was done solely as a response to the river defense and the nature of it we discuss what this new

missile might mean for global security with several experts. i think it's a reasonable massey you know i'd have to tend to agree with the sentiments that putin has expressed because i saw no purpose that i think the nation of acceleration of the animosity between the two countries came by us is cancer not of i and half 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 combine to 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 you know it's one of them from a favorite terms fake can use but it's got even greater recognition now thanks to an awards ceremony in france. rounds up the witness they can need you folks the spread of this information we're all being told to be on all go out for it well here in france they like to go one step further let me introduce you to the book. it's a mock awards show which looks to celebrate some of the ones this examples of fake

news which are actually broadcast as real stories here in france where the winner is taking home a statuette of water elf but a golden pinocchio first up let's take a look at the international category where a chilling tale of the russian but. chefs. but it was completely fake news which protects the endangered siberian tiger or the fake news stories from the north included this mysterious case of a severe sea flag which was hoisted during a yellow best protest measure. but this flag which the expert so expertly gave his opinion on is actually a local for ike from the northern pick out the region now in the general category

here in france there was plenty of competition just like this a lot of media reported that we started and identified that there had been russian meddling that the russian state orchestrated interference in the banal a scandal ah yes russian meddling again also croyde the mainstream media without doing much checking or even it seems actually reading the study by the lab in the hit turret the misinterpretation of their work we never said this the fact that the government spokes person immediately exploded this for political ends created this sort of hype there was never the object of our study then there are all those super sneaky ways to get fake news across the us. we found out from one local french channel sports anything rome you'd be forgiven for thinking that the

opus ition to antigovernment strikes was more than hoff but it seems that this party chart was artificially inflated and when all else fails you can always just to raise anything that you don't like take a look at this sign in the yellow vests protests amok or supposed to in the midst of the yellow vest protests sec clip our no in fact this is what the so i reset seems two thousand and eighteen was a bump a year for fake amusing fronts with many outlets seeing their noses grow more than once show it's even ski all at sea place it did stick around i'll be back with updates on our top stories in half an hour. i've been saying the numbers mean something they've matter to us with over one billion dollars they're more than ten white collar crime happy day. eighty five

world market most good percentage some with one hundred five would prefer chicken per second in this way rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers over. the only number you need remembering one one business you know forgiveness one and only food but. what do you do before you came here where did you work before you.
