10:06 pm
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 meanwhile the red cross is warning that people on the border with colombia are falsely advertising themselves as working for the aid

and many people around the world have accused the us of destabilizing one as well or a rally against the u.s. into ference in south america was held in new york on saturday there are now one hundred fifty similar campaigns globally according to the no warning venezuela movement we heard from one activist who was at that gathering 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 for 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 the us is committing their there and saying that there is chaos and
10:12 pm
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 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. 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 this phony cover to get rid of the elected government. i mean while opposition leader one door will meet on monday with senior officials from the u.s. and a number of latin american countries we'll keep you updated of any developments.

more than forty six thousand people took to the streets of cities across france on saturday for the latest yellow vests rallies the largest march was in paris attracting six thousand people. this was the fifteenth consecutive weekend of civil unrest in france the yellow vest movement was launched last november in response to a fuel tax hike quickly evolved into a nationwide movement against government policies seen as favoring the rich yellow vest activists say they're now planning a decisive west we spoke to who believes the government is unlikely to make any further concessions. as you still need to france's resisting we always skeptical towards neoliberal innovations and from this perspective it contributed

to macros failure as a representative of the on the fringe 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. facebook suspension this week of several laws he linked accounts has been described as an act of censorship by the international federation of journalists just last week the social networking giant blocked pages belonging to my fic media after a c.n.n. report suggests that it was trying to conceal its russian ties here's what philippe ruth had to say about the move closing
10:15 pm
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.f.j. . there has more now on the story and explains why exactly 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
10:16 pm
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 motional fund and facebook working together to selectively censor is highly disturbing but 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 of course 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
10:17 pm
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 us that 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 facebook 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.
10:18 pm
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 stuff in the video was serious videos investigations the poor the saul's into their work only because 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 my name 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
10:19 pm
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 that we should be allowed to see it when you do internet searches and things come up where you. put a question in he's 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 book 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 outlets regardless of what government they're funded by to censor what your users decide what's good and
10:20 pm
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 of facebook or later told me africa media would be allowed back onto the site if the connections to of t. all made clear we discussed the story with talk show host jimmy door who sees the high end of the us government work. this is a bunch of unelected bureaucrats in silicon valley deciding who gets freedom of speech based on 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
10:21 pm
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. parts of the media went into a spin this week over about a mere 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 outs that zicam a new hypersonic cruise missile will undergo testing this year it can travel up to nine times faster than sound zyklon hits both ground and sea targets in
10:22 pm
a thousand kilometer range that can be deployed from land or sea however the russian president stressed the new missile is a deterrent 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 done solely as a risk. of a defensive nature. we discussed what this new missile might mean for global security with a number of experts i think it's a reasonable massy 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 initiation of acceleration of the animosity between the two countries came by us is canceling out of i and alfy out of the treaty and that opened up the door for this so i think
10:23 pm
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 hong says 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 that 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
10:24 pm
deterred from using its weapons. for the south just coming up to help all six am here in moscow join us again in thirty minutes for the latest global news updates. you know world big part of. lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. i thought it would be disloyal who will accept the
