yeah make it out of here that i'm nobody. but. i. feel lucky. we're going to do the things that need to be done to make sure that the benefit of the people's voice that democracy reigns and that there's

a brighter future of the people of that as well right washington says they will take any action necessary to ensure what it calls a transition to democracy in venezuela that has bloody violence between pro and anti-government protesters shows no sign of abating. referendum sees the people of okinawa reject plans to relocate the u.s. military base from one part of the japanese island to another but local food will happen anyway. the japanese government is pushing through the construction by force there are many people protesting in every day. as donald trump prepares for his second meeting with north korean leader kim jong good we'd look at how the host nation vietnamese getting ready for the summit. good evening and thanks for joining us this is r.t. international. the u.s. vice president mike. says in colombia to discuss this he's put it ways out of the

venezuela crisis back home in the u.s. treasury department is now sanction for senior venezuelan officials aligned with president maduro as a meeting with the regional lima group bloc pence pledged additional funding for those siding with washington over the venezuela conflict today also it's my privilege to announce that the united states will provide an additional fifty six million dollars to support our partners in the region as you come to the aid of the venezuelan people fleeing from the deprivation and oppression of them to the regime good people of venezuela. freedom we will go with you you go would go. how do you. also passed a message to the self-proclaimed interim president won that the u.s. is one hundred percent behind him you also called on the venezuelan military to

accept an offer of amnesty or warn that they will be held accountable for violence on the border during the weekend your sect of state might pompei or earlier said washington will come to the aid of those wanting to oust the door oh by any means necessary you. are wishing why understand that the venezuelan people have made it's days numbered continue to build up the global coalition to put to put force behind the voice was that every options on the table were going to do the things that need to be done. the turmoil in venezuela has been heightened by the debate over whether to allow u.s. aid into the country trucks of supplies have amassed on the borders with colombia and brazil this is led to clashes at checkpoints between opposition supporters and those loyal to madeira the president is the lorries could be carrying weapons at least four people have died with hundreds injured. i am.

i. i. i. some photographs of an aid truck which had been taught to lead to wave of accusations against forces loyal to madeira but later forces trying to save the aid from the fire they've been used against the police however the video suggests the opposition forces may have hit the truck. was.

as violence intensifies and the u.s. ramps up its anti media rhetoric there are concerns a direct intervention in venezuela is now on the cards out and takes us through the story. while aid is usually the case who alleviating suffering this weekend's events may be doing the exact opposite the determination to get washington's aid across the border in the face of president with his refusal was it turns out the catalyst to push the delicate situation in venezuela into 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 not completely unfounded given previous u.s. and devers the bolivian president. evo morales 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 a 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 irene humanitarian aid. more sanctions and 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 nor the ating as the sight of u.s. trucks going up in flames it seems. we denounce 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 their 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 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 insignia. 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 wayland 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 ambassadors 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 his way 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 a little doubt that this special delivery from america has been instrumental tipping point for a country in crisis. and it's not just the i'd come pain putting pressure on the venezuelan leader u.s. senator marco rubio is tweeted images of the latest libyan leader moammar gadhafi as he was about to be brutally murdered the tweets not captured but with the madeira a favorite theme for rubio's recent messages many are interpreting it as being a warning to madeira. because nothing says human rights like gloating over a human being getting sodomized to death with by a night marco rubio just posted photos of gadhafi being lynched in an open death

threat to madeira libya is now a slave state thanks to us you mark or you had the reached piece of who should immediately resign marco rubio's feet has become like a manic paranoid regime change demanding boss account would probably be investigated for suspicious activity by the twitter authorities if he was not a u.s. senator but reaction to the post has not been limited to just twitter there's now a petition demanding the senator's resignation with accusations the rubio is promoting violence against the head of state political analyst chris bambery believes that the tweet is part of a larger u.s. propaganda plan. well i think it's all part of a strategy of tension as the americans are building up what the americans are trying to do is put pressure on the military in venezuela to shift the doura so far that hasn't happened the weakness of the duras position is is that unlike his predecessor hugo chavez feast of the coup twenty years ago which as you call

a mass movement that was brutal insurrection in crackers received to save them. no maduro is relying almost entirely on the army and the reason that kind of thus far we haven't seen this kind of mass movement coming to his aid so the thousand of thousand one jaw dollar question is is what attitude of the venezuelan militant will tick is he going to continue in support would do and if that's the case the potential for civil war personally i'm cynical about the americans intervening directly because i believe the stomach for it in the united states of america puts the right course to libya and also the say to american troops in any white american country brings back memories of america's record on that continent. u.s. and north korean leaders donald trump and kim jong un are meeting in vietnam this week commenting on the upcoming summit russia's foreign minister expressed cautious optimism saying he hopes for a breakthrough regarding denuclearization of also warned that ultimatums would not

work. somewhere that surely we are certain that u.s. ultimatums will lead nowhere what 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 second summit last summer they met in singapore in a recent tweet trump promised economic prosperity to north korea if young abandons its nuclear program and added that kim will make a wise decision john paulson insisted that he would not lift sanctions if pyongyang doesn't denuclearize i think that a potential reports from fear. 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 by a train going on 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 womb 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 procedure for donald trump but will it work. the mega 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 but first the correspondence magnificent very strong letter form incredible that 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 against. the kim jong un look alike that ilya mentioned in his report there has since been deported from vietnam the impersonator said and i didn't have a sense of humor although trumps doppelganger probably not quite as good has been allowed to stay it's not only officials who are busy preparing for the summer at a bar in hanoi has rolled out a new cocktail that features a mix of american and korean spirits and it is said to represent the fiery

characters of the two leaders the drink is called rock it man apparently a play on one of the insults struck directed at him not so long ago and addition to that is a barbershop the suffering haircuts that mimic those of trump and kim jong un the service is free of charge baggage as a way to promote peace on a more serious note though we spoke with her ex iraq in the founder of lawyers for demilitarization and peace in career he told us the choice of host country the talks well that is. why i think it's really interesting that they're meeting in vietnam a country that we killed millions of people were. 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 met and 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 at least for so long it's a very powerful symbol. the leader of the opposition in the u.k. jeremy corbyn is set to announce his party will back a second referendum on briggs if labor's own proposed deal is rejected later in the

week the news comes after top e.u. officials have suggested alone briggs it warning that britain's prime minister may not be able to keep her pledge to go the deal of march. well those two suggestions that i just outlined poly they are not going to end well if they happen i suggest you get out of london while you can but before you do bring us up to date. well the plot has thickened even more we've got this new break because it breaking news and it's come out of the weekly labor meeting that takes place in parliament on a monday and the news is that jeremy corbyn the leader of the opposition labor party has said that his party will support a second referendum and through the sort of parliamentary process that we have going on here now they'll be putting forward all supporting an amendment in favor of another public vote and the statement we're getting from this meeting is that

one way or another. jeremy corbyn says we'll do everything in our power to prevent no deal and oppose a damaging tory brags it based on two reason may's overwhelmingly rejected deal as he calls it and a lot of people already commenting on this saying that they see it as a partly a response to the string of defections that the labor party stuff third last we recall been himself sort of a lifelong labor you're a skeptic and he was seen and accused of being too on the fence about this whole thing and very undecided now we have a clearly outlined position from the opposition leader here in the u.k. of course to resume a she's. back in parliament tomorrow apparently updating m.p.'s on the progress or lack thereof should i say of this bragg's it deal and she will face jeremy corbin

in parliament to morrow at the moment the prime minister to resign may is only a way back from egypt and where she and european leaders have been and attending. arab league summit and it was a pretty jam packed schedule that there were plenty of meetings and quite a few speeches including from some big headline politicians like. the president of the european commission take a look at what happened while he was on stage. on the. road. and outside of the official agenda the politicians got to mingle we saw them in sort of a rather more relaxed informal setting as well the italian leader posted a video of him trying to teach to resume a to play pool her pool resembles her dancing some would say but of course

problems playing pool are nothing compared to have problems with bread because it anywhere the u.k. leader goes questions about the braggs it process followed and this summit in egypt was no exception to reason may gave a press conference following all the meetings where she managed not to say anything new at all which is sort of become the to resume a classic way of operating she simply reiterated that she hasn't managed to secure any of those legally binding changes to the e.u. withdrawal deal that she's promised to secure but briggs it is a mere thirty two days away and yet she's refusing absolutely refusing to delay the day of britain's departure from the e.u. take a look take a listen to her resume a saying it herself. any delay is

a delay it doesn't address the issue it doesn't resolve the issue it's within our grasp to leave with a deal on the twenty ninth of march that's where all of my and the jews are going to be focused. well there she is sticking to her guns saying it's either my deal or no deal which a lot of people say well that's just her tactic she's running down the clock and she's going to make politicians here in the u.k. choose between what could be a very chaotic no deal scenario and they might feel pressured into supporting her deal and you saw her there saying that it's a wouldn't work but many politicians here in the u.k. an increasing number of them including an increasing number of her in minutes. does now say that a delay is the only logical next step to the solution is the only thing that will avoid a no deal scenario and it happens to be an idea that donald tusk the. council

president is also reluctantly in favor of as he outlined today take a listen. discussed if the a lot of issues. the legal and procedural conflicts of the book don't show extension we will face an alternative chaotic briggs it or extension i believe that the situation extension would be russian a solution so london and brussels the wilds apart once again the dutch prime minister used much harsher than donald tusk that he went there and warned that the u.k. could be sleepwalking into a chaotic brags that no deal scenario of course the hard line years skeptics in the u.k. they say well all this hard talk and bluster in the negotiations is is just

a tactic from the europeans to resume a should hold her own and kind of hold out until she gets what she wants but others say if this is all a game of political brinkmanship it is a pretty dangerous one considering that we've got just thirty two days to go until the twenty ninth of march when britain is set to leave. so you have the e.u. officials there in favor of delaying briggs it is a surprise many that you would have thought he had it all that it's a shock every time they say it is probably ok many thanks for the boy. from this is joined britain and. germany to lift a ban on arms exports and supplies to saudi arabia the ban was imposed last november over the killing of the journalist democracy edgy and is set to expire march ninth. is useless to produce weapons through improved cooperation between france and germany if we can't to export them if you want to be competitive and

efficient we need to be able to export to countries outside europe. for democracy which is killing in the saudi consulate in istanbul germany and france it signed contracts for several major new arms projects u.k.'s also putting pressure on germany as the country provides about twenty three percent of the gulf kingdom's arms imports although equipment and german components are no longer available but one of the leaders of the ruling coalition in the german parliament says they plan to push for an extension of the ban something that falls into line with previous statements from the german foreign minister. notably to secure the position of the german government is that we're not currently delivering weapons to saudi arabia and future decisions on this will depend on developments in the yemen conflict. a spring in is an international consultant and former advisor to the french ministry of defense and interior very good evening to you and the french economy minister says saudi arabia needs weaponry to protect its people do you think that's sincere

. he didn't get very well where you thought about the. where did you see i was just saying that. on what basically the says that the saudis need weaponry to protect their people are they really under particular threat from anywhere or they just turning a blind eye to the yemen conflict by saying this. yeah i understand yes he is not sincere at all about the matter or i. am against the setting of weapons to saudi arabia because they use these we weapons to wage a war in the end which is not acceptable then i agree on the position of germany will say. we decided not to sell any weapon to saudi arabia but

but i don't agree on the fact that they said to the french you will not sell. all also weapons to saudi arabia when there are parts of german components in. in the weapons that is an acceptable and this is a new proof a new demonstration of the fact that e.u. is not. a good construction for the different. members nation members of this. technocratic going to a station you cannot you cannot say seems like this. when one country is able to block. exports of other countries are only on this all decision process the right to decide what it want to say to

do with these industrial military industries and we have not to depend on the decision of the german government hold that that is absolutely unacceptable and. i disagree completely with the fact to sell weapons to saudi arabia this. position of germany is absent be unacceptable and show with that european union from the beginning started on bad. on bad basis. why do you agree with germany on this is this a matter of principle. yes it's a it's a matter of principle so of course saudi arabia is waging a war which is acceptable in yemen and everybody knows that. are not

in a position they are now to be able to win that war and. instead of that they are making . airstrikes which killed many civilians many children many innocent people the sea is an acceptable they can do that only because they are the support of the night it drops well and what why why does the u.k. why does france not not see this obvious it seems principle. this is in my opinion this is only a matter of money mathare of. france and red britain and u.k. want to continue to sail weapons to saudi arabia and then they are they are not going to do denounce the yemen war and you can add the

old saw the murder of a. journalist many so it's a matter of of of business allan appreciate your time it's a good to speak to alan covers international consultant former adviser to the french ministry of defense thank you all of. our bridges right of today told the back with more in half an hour. when the old maid gets manufactured consensus instant of public wealth. when the rooming closest protect themselves. when the final larry go round lifts only the one percent told. us

to ignore middle of the room sickos.
