we're going to do the things that need to be done to make sure that the people's voice that democracy reigns and that there's a brighter future for the people of washington says it will take any action necessary to ensure a transition to democracy. between government protestors shows no. people. who voted against us military base residents of where the base is supposed to move. the japanese government is pushing through the construction.

and us president north korean leader kim. preparing for the. it is monday morning here in moscow on the twenty fifth welcome to your story. as tensions in venezuela intensify the u.s. says it will come to the aid of those wanting to go by any means necessary secretary of state. interim president opposition. prepares to meet u.s. officials in colombia on monday. in wonder stand that the venezuelan people have made it's days numbered continue to build up the global coalition to put to put the force behind the voice which said every options on the table we're going to do the

things that need to be done or the recent turmoil in venezuela has been heightened by the debate over whether to allow us into the country this has resulted in severe clashes at checkpoints between opposition supporters and those loyal to democratically elected president nicolas maduro trucks with supplies have amassed on the country's border with colombia and brazil but president has refused them entrance saying it's a pretext for a foreign intervention and they may contain weapons and as the violence intensifies and the u.s. ramps up its anti may do it over rhetoric there are concerns that a direct intervention in venezuela is next on the cards giving us a broader perspective his oxys nicky aaron. while aids is usually the case who alleviating suffering this weekend's events may be doing the exact opposite. to her. or her. determination to get washington's aid across the border in the face of president

has refused bloody clashes tons of u.s. aid had piled up at the venezuela border in what madeira had called a u.s. orchestrated show designed to induce international condemnation from the dozens of nations siding with opposition leader. concerns that the aid deliveries could contain weapons were no resident and even morale is concurred calling the cargo a trojan horse to provoke war so just how pointers thought things unfolding when he issued an ultimatum is unclear rallying his supporters on mass to bring the u.s. trucks across the border is undoubtedly for carious position to put people in especially when the military remains loyal to the president naturally it resulted in this.

with the outlook for me looking increasingly bleak attention has now turned to those who continue to support him the venezuelan military are being urged to abandon their loyalties then choose the side of washington. venezuela's military has a choice embrace democracy protect civilians and allow in humanitarian aid all face even more sanctions an isolation round of applause from their new commander in chief or anyone choosing to be on the right side of history because causing unnecessary pain and suffering is nowhere near as northey ating as the sight of us trucks going up in flames it seems. we denounce my refusal to let humanitarian assistance reach venezuela what kind of a sick tyrant stops food from getting to hungry people the images of burning trucks filled with aid are sickening the misgivings and finger pointing over who might be to blame for the burning trucks was quickly picked up on by venezuela's foreign

minister who issued a stark reminder of his u.s. counterparts past as head of the cia. secretary powell specialist in false flag operations believes he fools the world with a truck burned in colombia by his own agents with tensions in venezuela wrangling for months quite as deadline was an opportunity to vent the result was all out chaos and confusion even forcing the red cross to call on unknown members of the crowd to stop wearing their insignia. we've learned that there are some people not affiliated with the red cross colombia and red cross venezuela wearing red cross emblems in colombia venezuela and brazil venezuela border we urge them to stop doing this they might mean well but they risk jeopardizing our neutrality impartiality and independence as the situation intensified on the border president maduro called on his supporters to a mass on the streets of caracas where he vowed to defend but as ways and to

alleviate him on the border while cutting all political and diplomatic ties with its neighbor to halt the border chaos. can't continue supporting aggression from colombian territory so i've decided to cut political and diplomatic ties with the fascist colombian government and its ambassador is must leave in twenty four hours what next peace talks a truce. is calling on his vast international support system to up the ante all options are on the table a military conflict is increasingly becoming a real possibility for an as well is a country hanging by a thread a third so perilously delicate it could snap at any moment and when it does the outcome will be war no matter whether those u.s. trucks contained aid weapons or whatever else there's little doubt that this special delivery from america has been an instrumental tipping point for a country in crisis. we spoke to

a bit on the wall from the chief editor of news website monday he says washington has underestimated my daughter and the local support for him. and feed you now exist days have go too far clearly did you do white house thought it was downfall would be a fast track operation but move forces. people off for him and his support is going up as we could see thousands of people. have aleutian right now after randomly the only alternative for those who want to all the. is direct foreign intervention or leave this and democratic strategy and begin real talking to normalize whole show and economic relationship with. u.s. president donald trump north korean leader kim jong un meeting in vietnam this week

it will be the second summit last summer they met in singapore in a speech last night trump said he had good relations with kim adding that he would not lift sanctions of pyongyang doesn't denuclearize. of now noyo might have been chosen to host the talks. perhaps it's still a bit too early to see a trump kim get together in washington or pyongyang so once again the organizers opted for somewhere neutral. just by looking at the flag of communist vietnam it's immediately clear why chairman kim would certainly feel at home here. as we know the americans have their own special connection to this country but the leaders got it installed with the vietnamese authorities before they even arrived or rather their almost famous look

alike. anyway with the hot i wrote spinning spruced up for the big event the real kim has already hit the road he chose to get to vietnam to fight your brains were gone and his people looked thrilled to see him no wonder kim has given himself a nice long head start crossing all of china takes time when the leaders met for the first time just saying this. was enough to make the summit a real bombshell but no written or signed agreements came out of it how's that for a preemptive social media trick to break the stalemate chairman kim realizes perhaps better than anyone else that without nuclear weapons his country could fast

become one of the greatest economic power was anywhere in the world because of its location and people and him it has more potential for rapid growth than any other nation making the second summit work is a matter of pristine for donald trump but will it work the mega man mind how ft. give something up to could that mean less pentagon involvement in south korea mr kim knows how to play on family guy trumps emotions too it's just been revealed he once said this to america's top diplomat mike compare i'm a father and husband and i have children and i don't want my children to carry the nuclear weapon on their back their whole life this week it's time for donald trump and cam john to do a bit more than just pose for the cameras or send each other romantic letters i've received two letters from chairman camp personal correspondence magnificent very strong letter form incredible letters it's time to agree on and cement something

real which makes the vietnam chapter of the camp trump relationship even more unpredictable than when they first met. meanwhile the russia's foreign minister said that the u.s. cannot unilaterally dim on the north korea denuclearize is without talking about lifting sanctions and we spoke to the founder of lawyers for demilitarized and peace on korea he says vietnam is a remarkable choice of venue for the summit. well i think it's really interesting that they're meeting in vietnam a country that we killed millions of people and had a horrific war after the korean war and a country in which we have formal diplomatic relations now a lot of trade and that the u.s. president is comfortable going there for a summit vietnam i think was something very perhaps symbolic to the

koreans it would provide a certain level to kim jong un to travel there to fuel more comfortable there it's an odd choice if we're not going to make a deal because i mean it took hundreds of meetings to have a deal in the end the vietnam war and people bet they met and they met again in paris over and over and over again until the paris accords finally ended that war but you know so it is an example of a long. durance race that we're facing that vietnam represents or is it really the idea that you can have economic success and be able to make peace with people who've been enemies for so long it's a very powerful symbol. before most senior correspondent us a t.v. network c.b.s. has alleged that the majority of the american media is biased lara logan also says she's been hounded for expressing such an opinion. i know they're going to come

after me again and i'm not the only one if there are any journalists who are not beating the same drum and giving the same talking points then we pay the price in this country eighty five percent of journalists are registered democrats so that's just a fact lara logan had served as chief foreign affairs correspondent of the c.b.s. news channel for sixteen years until twenty eighteen she also host of the popular program sixty minutes a curry sheffield from accuracy and media agrees with ms logan. they're very reflective of reality i'm glad they don't mind working very mainstream organization whose family well and to be open and honest so i think that many conservatives such as myself we've been really looking for honest truth tellers like laura logan to just be bring some reality into the conversation a lot of conservatives huge and a study that showed that the vast majority of republicans believe that the mainstream media do not understand people like three c.

over and over again to journalists having to retract their stories or to correct their stories so if the mainstream media really wants to improve our country they need to be more balanced in the reporting among the outlets alleged to have a liberal bias to the new york times the huffington post and c.b.s. kerry sheffield again and so is the media has long been leaning left. around seventy five seventy seven percent of americans believe that the mainstream media creates some form of news and a big part of what they said was fake news was what they were stanley chil report about lara logan pointed out that the problem of the balance is so skewed to the left my take is that if you have a bias then you should be willing to accept it and don't pretend that you don't have a bias. people in the japanese prefecture of okinawa have voted against a relocating a us military base there it's one of thirty two on the island the bases being moved

to another part of the island and work at the new site has already begun and it seems that despite the referendum result prime minister shinzo a will push ahead with the existing plan. we cannot avoid the necessity of moving food said to be the most dangerous base in the world we cannot put this over by schools shops and hospitals under a deal with the us it's being moved to a less populated part of okinawa in the north called had no co residents there are not happy they say the old base should simply be shut down and not replaced. so if you're the i've heard that this referendum has no legal basis but there are many people protesting in hanover every day i hope this referendum will be a show of support to them. even when reclamation has already begun the japanese government is pushing through that construction by force i'm against the construction of a new base because the base is man for war that's why i'm against it. u.s.

service personnel in japan were reportedly involved in almost ten thousand accidents and crimes between two thousand and four and twenty thirteen around half of the incidents were on okinawa and one of the most notorious cases happened in one thousand nine hundred five when three u.s. sailors kidnapped and raped a twelve year old girl were a u.s. base near tokyo a few things relocating the okinawa base won't help solve anything. most of the american bases situated on ok no island seventy percent of the bases are on okinawa and the island is so small so you can imagine we have a lot of united states military servicemen there when they drink too much a local whole or if they commit crimes they can easily escape justice as in my case you know the man who raped me i had to look for him myself in ten years because the japanese government and the american military would not help so the more bases that are going to be in okinawa we need to work out ways that they can read it kate

these crimes so it's now time for the voices to be heard about how they do not want any more rapes and crimes you know murders against gay people we have had to seven over seventy years seven decades of these crimes happening and what is being done to stop that you know we just had another woman who was murdered you know over a year ago so it doesn't matter where they're going to put the base there's always going to be some kind of crime that they will need to tackle and how are they going to do when someone else is murdered when someone else is killed we are running down your top stories so far for this monday here on oxy international afghanistan on syria just a couple of stories in the makes coming your way in just. wouldn't

hold make this manufacture case sensitive to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. at the point larry you're a deficit of one percent. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. and spearing dramatic development only. exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and

talk. good to have you with us today if your monday story is a new u.n. report says the twenty eighteen was the deadliest year in a decade for civilians and activity as well as afghan and u.s. military operations and the blame for the spike in civilian fatalities meanwhile a fifth round of peace talks between the taliban and the u.s. is being held in qatar on monday. stops being special it becomes normal like a habit and you know how hard it is to kick the habit same thing here fifth round of talks between the taliban and the u.s. all told for long if the taliban bypasses local commanders and fighters ideas and views it would be much better that the taliban include some important and effective

local taliban commanders in the negotiating team there's history to these talks but then the doha meet she couldn't hush hush all the united states and the taliban they had gold and they bartered and apparently agreed on a u.s. troop withdrawal and then it all collapsed when the united states demanded that the afghan government which the taliban despises also participate there's a discussion but this discussion needs to be shared back to discussion that does not involve the region we will not trust if we don't get all the pieces right one piece alone doesn't suffice russia which has a huge stake in ending this war also tried to help in early february the then head of the taliban's political faction came here to moscow to take part in another round table but all of them you know hold it after the foreign forces leave our

country the afghans one have any reason to fight each other because we are a united fraternal people it was big eleven countries participated in these talks even the afghan opposition came taliban was there the u.s. remained aloof and surprisingly with observer status watching in paranoid suspicion russia is again trying to model the u.s. backed peace process and the political situation in afghanistan so here we are round five new talks the taliban's new political head freshly released from. pakistani jail is going to attend same topics really a potential cease fire a u.s. troop withdrawal and again washington will try to get the afghan government involved just as problematic is see the taliban is fractured it has its own factions and centrists and extremists and they all want something different

the peace or religious law for the crazies death to america and if they don't get what they want talks in the good political leaders of the taliban maybe the footy will continue and members can rebellion against the leadership for its decision to reach a peace agreement with the us or the afghan government number one is p.v. the taliban second is people that are fighting for economic incentives and people for whom fighting for talibanization is business these two types of people taliban was find alternatives in the tentative for them is groups like isis if taliban are going to start fighting and then isis takes over which the situation will be much worse than what we see right now. with syria in the

process of rebuilding itself after years of war a lot of work is also going in the judiciary level of the parliament has passed amendments to syrian civil war restricting polygamy signing child marriage and expanding women's rights. what's in the refuse to live with the second one under the same roof if a husband takes the second wife without her permission she can now divorce him and receive the financial compensation from the minimum age for women to marry has been raised to eighteen. my name is hollow

g. ben i'm a bartender. new legislation is a good thing i like that a woman can keep her job after marriage and that it's easier for her to force. syrian women suffer do not think that he has a room they dissolve the lights to be expanded so far this school does not entirely meet the aspirations of women's associations pot he still believes it's a positive move. there are some real top stories for this hour here on this monday on r.t. international we were talking about twenty five minutes with more of your world like you said.

join me every thursday on the elec simon short and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport that's less i'm show business i'll see that. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to. have to go right to the press to supply them before three of them or can't be good . i mean today. i've been saying the numbers mean something they've matter to us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty

five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent in the world markets boast thirty percent some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and fifth when he rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember one one business showed you know toward the mid one and only boom but.

a very british footprint of freedom performance there's a deep embarrassment in the farm office about the lines and ocracy of this room this is the way in which the armies were never told it was just action taken. secrecy surrounding wilson jones or the secrecy surrounding both. and of course the ultimate secrecy of the way that has been used for extraordinary rendition the leader of the british labor party is talking about a disputed us military base coming under scrutiny today by the world court as to whether it belongs to misha's not the u.k. level in the usa britain you see had a plan for the change go silence it was a plan that hinged on shameless exploitation over a five year period one nine hundred sixty to one thousand nine hundred fifteen every single. women own child was forcibly removed in secret
