we're going to do the things that need to be done to make sure that the venezuela's 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 in venezuela is fatal violence between pro and anti-government protesters shows no sign of abating. people. moving the u.s. military. to the japanese island to another but. the relocation will go ahead anyway. the japanese government is pushing through that construction by force.

and u.s. president north korean leader kim jong. il. is preparing for the big summit. with your top stories for this monday welcome to the program. as tensions in venezuela intensify the u.s. says it will come to the aid of those wanting to oust president by any means necessary secretary of state. self-proclaimed interim president. prepares to meet u.s. officials in colombia today. it was a 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 the recent turmoil in venezuela has been heightened by the debate over whether to allow u.s. aid into the country and trucks of supplies have amassed on the country's border with colombia and brazil this has led to clashes at checkpoints between opposition supporters and those loyal to democrat democratically elected president nicolas maduro over understand at this point at least four people have died with hundreds being injured. we're going to give. you.

that's the violence intensifies on the u.s. ramps up as anti madeira rhetoric there are concerns that a direct intervention in venezuela is now on the cards he's making erin gives us a broader perspective. while eight is usually the case who alleviating suffering this weekend's events may be doing the exact opposite. the determination to get washington state across the border in the face of president majeure his refusal was it turns out the catalyst to push the delicate situation in venezuela into bloody clashes tons of usa to pound 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 one quiet concerns that the aid deliveries

could contain weapons were not completely unfounded given previous u.s. and deserts the bolivian president. evo morales can could quote in the congo a trojan horse to provoke war so just how pointers thought things on folding when he issued an ultimatum is unclear lining his supporters on mass to bring the u.s. trucks across the border is undoubtedly a for carious position to put people in especially when them. terry remains loyal to the president naturally it was altered in this. was when the outlook for mature looking increasingly bleak attention has now turned to those who continue to support him the venezuelan military are being urged to abandon their loyalties and choose the side over washington venezuela's military has a choice embrace democracy protect civilians and allow in humanitarian aid also

more sanctions in isolation round of applause from the 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 normally 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 pompei or c.i. a specialist in false flag operations believes he fools the world with a truck burned in colombia by his own agents with tensions in venezuela rumbling

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 instinct near. we've learned that there are some people not affiliated with the red cross colombia and red cross venezuela wearing red cross emblems at 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 the porters 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 ambassadors must leave in twenty four hours

what next peace talks a truce. i don't know 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 his way is a component and when it does the outcome will be war no matter whether those u.s. trucks contained aid weapons or whatever else there's a missile doubt that this special delivery from america has been instrumental tipping point for a country in crisis we spoke to but you know altman the chief editor of news website monday he says washington has underestimated my daughter oh and support for him. i feet you know exists days has go too far clearly did you do a white collar fort downfall would be a fast track operation but move forces. people off him and his

support is going up as we could see thousands of people. have aleutian right now up around please the only alternative those who want to all the good is a direct foreign intervention or leave this and democratic strategy and begin real talking to normalize and economic relationship with. us president donald trump and north korean leader kim jong un meeting in vietnam this week commenting on the upcoming summit russia's foreign minister expressed hope they'd be a breakthrough regarding deed nuclearize ation however sort of offer also warned that ultimatums don't work. so much. that u.s. ultimatums will lead. the u.s. demands that north korea completely eliminate everything related to nuclear weapons

and only then would it discuss lifting sanctions. it will be kim's second summit last summer they met in singapore in a speech last night president said he had good relations with kim that he would not lift sanctions it does not denuclearize the upcoming summit is intended to tackle a wide range of security issues a correspondent trying to reports from the host city. perhaps it's still a bit too early to see a kim get together in washington or pyongyang so once again the organizers opted for somewhere neutral. just by looking at the flag of communist it's immediately clear why chairman kim would certainly feel at home here. the americans have their own special connection

to this country but the leaders. the vietnamese authorities before the. war rather almost. anyway would be out i wrote spinning for the big event the real kim has already hit the road he chose to get. rain 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 seeing this. it 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 maggie man might have to 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 personal cars just 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 married even sure of the kim jong un look alike that report mentioned has been deported from vietnam impersonator says high noise has quote no sense of humor but while he was removed from the country ahead of the summit trump's doppelganger has been allowed to stay peace in korea he says vietnam is a remarkable choice of venue for this historic 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 more 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 met and they met 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 at least for so long it's

a very powerful symbol. the people of okinawa in a referendum have rejected moving a u.s. military base from one part of the japanese island to another it is one of thirty two american sites on the island the construction work at the planned new location for the base in question has actually already begun despite the referendum result prime minister shinzo looks fun to push ahead with the. we cannot avoid the necessity of moving food said to be the most dangerous but east in the world we cannot put this off any longer the base in question is situated in the city of you know one and surrounded by schools shops and hospitals under a deal with america it's being moved to a less populated part of okinawa in the north cold and local residents there are not happy they say the old basic should simply be shut down and never 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 let me call me 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 meant for war so that's why i'm against. the u.s. service personnel stationed in japan were reportedly involved in almost ten thousand accidents on crimes between two thousand and four and twenty thirteen around half of the incidents were on okinawa 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. well we spoke to catherine and jane fisher our rights activist who says she was raped in two thousand and two near a u.s. base near tokyo and thinks relocating this one particular okinawa base won't help to 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 very kate these crimes so it's now time for the voices to be heard about how they do not want any more rates and crimes you know murderous against their people we have had 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 or so ago 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 more of your monday worldwide news headlines offer a very short break. when lawmakers manufacture can be sentenced to public wealth. when the ruling class is protect themselves. when the crime merry go round lifts only the one percent. we can all middle of the room. in the real news room.

you know world of big partisan movies. 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 smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. when they stories are on us you're welcome to a former senior correspondent at the us t.v. network c.b.s. alleges that the majority of the american media is biased lara logan says she's been hounded for simply expressing that view. 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 an interview on a podcast she said the main problem with the us media is that it leans far too heavily to the left this in turn she says leads to sacrifices in objectivity and a lack of representation of other views. been part of this for all my life i'm forty seven now and i've been a journalist since i was seventeen and in the media everywhere is mostly liberal not just in the us but in this country eighty five percent of journalists are registered democrats so that's just a fact most journalists are left or liberal or democrat oh whatever word you want to give it how do you know you're being lied to how do you know you're being manipulated how do you know there's something not right with the coverage when they simplify it all and there's no gray is no gray it's all one way logan's

podcast interview was mocked by some who claims you can't be trusted because of her involvement in a dubious report on benghazi back in twenty thirteen others have alleged she simply can't find a job with the quote legitimate outlets as biased a local left a post of chief foreign affairs correspondent at c.b.s. where she had worked for sixteen years she also hosted the popular program sixty minutes for a stent which floored twenty thirteen benghazi report just mentioned kerry sheffield from accuracy in media agrees with lara logan. very reflective of reality i'm glad that she is someone working for a mainstream organization whose family well into the 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 they should

be and 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 if the mainstream media really wants to improve our country they need to be more alanson the reporting among the outlets alleged to have a liberal bias so the new york times the huffington post and c.b.s. carry sheffield again says 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 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. a new u.n. report says that twenty eighteen was the deadliest year in a decade for civilians in afghanistan some four thousand were killed the report

says increased terror activity as well as afghan and u.s. military operations are to 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 as well that goes the f. reports. after almost two decades of war war 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. lots of hope and lots of pessimism the movie peace but the peace will not hold for long if the taliban bypasses local commanders and fighters ideas and views it would be much better to the taliban include some important and effective local taliban commanders in the negotiating team there is history to these talks in the doha meet she couldn't hush hush well 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. 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 those were all of them you know holding on to the foreign forces leave our country the afghans one have any reason to fight each other because we are a united fraternal pool 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 a pakistani jail is going to attend the same topics really but she's fired a u.s. troop withdrawal and again washington will try to get the afghan government involved just as problematic 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 and negotiations be damned if we're not respected by our

leadership and political leaders of the taliban maybe the footy will continue under a different name or by joining islamic state meanwhile afghanistan is in the grip of a humanitarian crisis we heard from anthony neal of the norwegian refugee council who is currently based in kabul. what we're seeing on the ground is a is a backward trend where all parties in the conflict are increasingly neglecting civilian lives in pursuit of military objectives we'd like to emphasize that firstly it's the responsibility of all of those engaged in the conflict to protect civilians under international law all actors in any conflict have to take concrete steps to prevent mitigate against civilian harm now is n.o.c. we work in communities to help them plan full and to help them better respond in case of emergency hoppin to in case there is fighting in their believes they are

prepared that they can they can we all be can employ their own safety mechanisms we want to emphasize to all parties of the conflict that protection of civilians has to stop with that well what we're definitely seeing on the ground is an increased number of people fleeing their homes over the last three years almost two million people have been forced from their homes as a result of the conflict in fact based five thousand people just in the last two months being forced from their homes we're not yet seeing these people leaving the country and we're seeing a much people being displaced internally and that just about wraps up this on monday program for this hour here on international there fast becoming a basic day for your well thought headlines here at the helm in half an hour's time with more of your.

when nor make this manufacture consent instant of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. when the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. we can all middle of the room signal. real news is.

we came here where did you work before you came here when you live. in many us states capital punishment is still practiced convicted prisoners can spend years waiting for execution and most of the time the victims' families they are very much in favor the death penalty there are some people because of what they did they have given up their rights as live among us some even proven innocent after years on death row and how many more exonerations is it going to take before we as a society realize that this is not working and we actually do something about. sixty metal.

isis fighters and no boarding a philippine naval ship. but not all. just aren't abdulla still don't know what's waiting for them. because it will. give you an idea not to. stay. up or get out of here with them nobody.

told them to so. interested intentions are moving the middle eastern peace even further away will israel and palestine be locked in conflict for ever while i ask mohammad to president mahmoud abbas his advisor. with yet another american leader trying to find a solution to the israeli palestinian conflict the parties remain bogged down by beautiful stalling accusations as hopes for peace continue to fade where might a breakthrough come from to move the process along is there a chance of compromise with both.
