china's building two point one billion dollar ai industrial park but don't let the numbers will be. the only number you need remember what one does that you know for them is the one and only boom but. the u.s. vice president mike pence announces concrete steps over the venezuela crisis and voices his support for the self-proclaimed president it comes after a weekend of violence triggered by washington's attempted a delivery which was not welcomed by caracas. the un's high school has demanded the u.k. and its control of the chad go silenced as rapidly as possible and return the territory to militias. honest on the tram prepares for his second meeting with north korean leader kim jong un we look at how the host nation vietnamese getting

ready for the summit. good evening at ten pm here in moscow this is not. the u.s. vice president mike pence is in colombia where he's met with the regional lima group bloc to discuss ways out of the venezuela crisis in his speech pence pledge the dish no funding for those siding with washington over the 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 it's good people of venezuela secure freedom we will go with you you go but go by on.

pence also passed the message to the self-proclaimed interim president one goh i don't know that the u.s. is one hundred percent behind him he also called on the venezuelan military to accept an offer of amnesty or warn that they'll be held accountable for the weekend's violence on the border. with. interest. the thermal event as well as been heightened by the debate over whether to allow

u.s. aid into the country trucks of supplies of amassed on the borders with colombia and brazil as madeira blocked the deliveries fearing the lorries could contain weaponry this is led to clashes at checkpoints between opposition supporters and those loyal to him and there were at least four people have been killed with hundreds more injured recent photographs of an aid truck which had been torched led to a wave of accusations against forces loyal to madeira dragging top u.s. of venezuelan diplomats into a war of words over who's responsible. announcement 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 sickening. secretary pump specialist and false flag operations believe he fools the world with a truck burned in colombia by his own agents causing a continuation of the broader picture which emerged later ventura forces trying to save the aid from the fire have been used against the police but the video suggests

they firebomb from opposition forces may have been the culprit. i believe. also at the weekend a benefit concert for venezuela it was held in colombia near the border organized by billionaire richard branson it was initially billed as a huge event an article by the washington post when first published said that two hundred thousand people attended an updated version of the article gave no attendance figures but says simply the concert was massive and then a third version removed all reference to the concert some people have analyzed satellite imagery with one bloc suggesting no more than twenty thousand people with their. ok i can speak about

a legal and media analyst lionel great to have you on line at the washington post as i understand or so this will be a touch of irony i believe that's one of your top publications over there in the u.s. changed this story three times. was this an innocent mistake do you think. no not at all our crowd size is not an innocent mistake especially when there is no mention as to why something is scrubbed you don't normally if there is a mistake if we said we misspoke we misnamed the president of whatever normally when there is an air rat home or some type of a mistake that is noted they make reference to it hoops my bad not at all this was part and parcel of the story you know by the way historically crowd sizes has always been a subject of shall we say fanatically in one thousand nine hundred five in this

country but louis farrakhan had his million man march that term million and one from an actual number to an expression to something like his illian so historically crowd sizes and the number this is true and dare i say what does not be sir fake new if if this indeed was not true because when you itemize and specifically cite the number of people in attendance that is part and parcel of the actual story so one could reasonably submit this is fake news. just makes me think of terms integration but that's another story would it do you want to ask about though is if you don't if you call mike pence and his recent comments from talking about god he actually was talking money offering financial incentive for any of the countries he want to jump on the bandwagon to have to say reminded me of those old western movies when you know ron sims put out a bounty get the posse together is this how politics is done internationally.

well apparently you know you're talking about assistance i must say one thing that very quickly because a part of a very good point you know one when president trump did give his initial suggestions as to his crowd size as to his inauguration those same people washington post were very meticulous as to specifying when these numbers in fact were correct so now it's interesting how they change their mind you bring up a second point though in terms of and i love the terms of what this is is this an incentive are we assisting is this cooperation is this is this humanitarian aid you know when it comes to doing certain things internationally one must have a very robust lexicon and our goal was something that we first too and what's interesting to note is how what we are seeing right now is this thing and this

concept which i thought we were loath to. to jump aboard that is regime change. you know bringing democracy it reminds me of the days of rumsfeld who said democracy is messy and it's funny and i'm sure this is this is absolutely different than all of the other attempts but it does hearken back to those. less than memorable days. marco rubio you'll know a lot more about him than i do i know that he was a presidential candidate though so i expect a certain level of behavior he tweeted images in between criticizing president maduro if we did images of the late libyan leader moammar gadhafi as he was about to be brutally murdered now to me to interpret that as come on lads let's grab the pitchforks and torches and and storm the council i'm i being unfair how would you interpret that. oh not at all and fact what i also wonder is how does

this not violate twenty her parlance how does this not violate some internal rule of twitter that advocates basically you are seeing what could see this this is not touch this is the look of terror and by the way i hope people do remember this because what that stood for very frankly was a time in our culture when overnight for reasons that nobody will ever remember this man was relegated to that of a madman because he was crazy and look what is where ring but what's also interesting to note was one interesting thing about about. libya at the time libya sits atop the european sandstone aquifer one of the largest if not the largest aquifer on the planet and somewhere prior to his. dispatch he made the said that he was going to one day make libya terrible that it

was going to pump twenty five billion dollars and this notion of hydro imperialism and water as being believe it or not the next currency of war and lo and behold overnight where he's at oh no you don't and what's also interesting is that once somebody is called a madman evil a bad guy ruthless despotic go through it without question. american mainstream media. follow the march you ball the bouncy ball jump on board no questions asked whatever you say nobody ever says exactly who are these people and what what exactly did they do and i would also venture to say if you allow me if you want to go to any culture any country any regime any presidency any term of history and pick out that exactly the best most representative examples

of that regime you could make the case that any president any leader anybody could be or should be removed because he or she is despotic and the life no questions asked when when he started to wear the sergeant pepper outfit what he was called crazy because crazy will do it every time when he was told about anything being done whether it doesn't matter who it is whether it's assad whether it's him just name it whether it's there is a certain forms of collusion there is an automatic again. this this pavlovian obey sense this unquestioning patellar reflex to well there you go he's evil now let's move on as for cites the white house has no questions no interest no not. going to rough it up there was a pleasure to speak to appreciate it lionel is my guest legal media analyst thank you sir.

the people of okinawa in a referendum have rejected moving a u.s. military base from one part of the japanese island to another one of thirty two american signs on the island construction work at the planned new location for the base in question has actually begun despite the referendum result prime minister shinzo abbay looks set to push ahead with the make. we cannot avoid the necessity of moving food said to be the most dangerous but in the world we cannot put this off any longer where the basic questions in the city of give no one surrounded by schools hospitals shops and to deal with the u.s. it's being moved to a less populated part of the island in the north called and local residents are happy they say they'll simply be shut down not replaced. your i've heard that this referendum has no legal basis but there are many people protesting in every day i hope this referendum will be

a show of support to them. and i recon mission has already begun the japanese government is pushing through the construction by force of soil i'm against the construction of a new base because the base is manned for war that's why i'm against the. u.s. service personnel stationed in japan were reportedly involved in almost ten thousand crimes and accidents in the decade leading up to twenty thirteen around half incidents they were on our one of the most notorious cases was in one nine hundred ninety five when three u.s. sailors kidnapped and raped a twelve year old girl. we spoke to catherine jane fisher a rights activist to says that she herself was raped in two thousand and two near a u.s. base near tokyo. most of the american bases are 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 of

a hole 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 for ten years because the japanese government and the american military will not help so the more bases that are going to be in okinawa we need to work out ways that they can vary 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 murders against their 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 or so it doesn't matter where they're going to put the base there is 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.

britain must rapidly give the colonised chigger silence buying to marie the un's heise court has ruled the united. nation to bring. it to a ministry janelle of the troubles hard to bear logo. the. international court of justice from the u.k. illegally split the islands from richest before granting russia's independence back in one thousand nine hundred thousands of citizens were also deported from the indian ocean territory so britain could let the u.s. build a huge military base on the biggest island diego garcia the u.k. foreign office insists that the u.n. was just giving an advisory opinion not a judgment. spring in tom. chair of the u.k. chigger support association good evening to what do you think of this un court ruling just on significant is it. first i'd just like to point out that as i'm not

. and i don't want to claim that i do speak on behalf of the chicken people and it's also just worth mentioning that there's a very broad diverse range of opinion on the matter amongst the show coursing community but what i can try to do is is shed a little bit of light on what happened today and what may be the possible implications for people from the silence. i guess the first thing to mention is that the today's ruling was about the sovereignty of the islands it wasn't about the islands themselves and that respect it was a win for the marine government but it remains to be seen whether or not this will be a win for the czech austrian people themselves how significant do you think the decision is though because britain saying it's just literally just an advisory opinion so will it change anything. well we don't know i mean there's there's there's the one case for it being an advisory opinion and i would assume the government will make a full statement tomorrow on how they intend to respond to the opinion i think it

be quite difficult for the u.k. to just fly in the face of if they don't already have a charge on the i.c.j. and if they seem to be flying in the face of this core i think they might find some difficulty in getting that judge back on the panel that even if the u.k. does comply with the ruling. we don't really have an impression of how significant this will be for the people i think you will the question of sovereignty has no bearing on the on the right of return and the imperative that both ministers and the u.k. government should already be treating the people from the silence with human rights and the respect that they deserve and that includes getting proper compensation to the islanders giving access to british nationality and of course granting the right of return to the islands that can happen already we don't need this dispute over sovereignty for those things to happen. and it's crucial that those things happen yes i understand thousands of figures citizens have been deported over time do you think they will think justice. i don't know difficult to say as i said there's

a range of opinion in that austin community on this particular case there are some who you see who are on russia's side because militias has said that they will allow the right of return but there are those that are weak that are suspicious of the marshes government in the same way that they are suspicious of the british government because both governments have a poor track record when it comes to treating each of our sins with human rights and respect so there is a diverse range of opinion i think some will some will be happy and of course what would really unite the community and please the community as a whole is if both you back to program of resettlement. obviously there's a significant issue here the elephant in the room so to speak is the huge u.s. military base now of the larger vested interest for the u.s. presumably in the u.k. going to be fighting tooth and nail for that to stay where it is do you think the u.n. has the power the leverage to be able to do anything about this or all of these or are knowns i guess we'll find out in due course where we have to find out how the u.k. government intends to respond to the opinion and we also have to see what happens

in the u.n. general assembly when this case is referred to there this is the beginning of a long process and i think there are too many unknowns for me to make a comment on that at the moment ok appreciate that thanks for your time tom little good hard chair of the u.k. show your support of this issue thank you. u.s. north korean leaders donald trump 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 lavrov also warned ultimatums wouldn't work. someone actually we are certain that u.s. ultimatums will lead nowhere the u.s. demands that north korea completely eliminate everything related to nuclear weapons and only then would it discuss lifting sanctions. at the trumpet came second summit last summer they met in singapore and a recent tweet trump promised economic prosperity to north korea pyongyang abandons

its nuclear program and added that kim will make a wise decision trumps also insisted he wouldn't lift sanctions if pyongyang doesn't denuclearize trenker ripples from vietnam. 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. but as we know the americans have their own special connection to this country but the leaders got in trouble with the vietnamese authorities before they even arrived or rather they're almost as famous lookalikes did.

anyway with the hot i wrote spinning spruced up for the big events the real kim has already hit the road he chose to get to vietnam via train and his people looked thrilled to see him on 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 now how's that for a preemptive social media trick to break the stalemate chairman kim realizes perhaps better than anyone else 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 mind have. 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 received two letters from chairman kim first of all respondents 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. the look alike killer mentioned in this report they have since been deported from vietnam the impersonator said they didn't have a sense of humor or the troops doppelgangers not quite as good i'd say has been allowed to stay it's not only officials who are busy preparing for the summit a bar in hanoi has rolled out a new cocktail it features a mix of us in korean spirits and said to represent the fiery characters of the two leaders the drink is called broke it man you get it a play on one of insults made towards not too long ago there's also a barber shop which is offering haircuts mimicking the trump and kim jong in cuts the service is free of charge as quote a way to promote peace or a more serious note though we did speak with alex iraq and he's the founder of lawyers for the militarization of peace in korea who told us the choice of host country for the talks is telling. why 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. in 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 your 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 that 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. a former senior correspondent at the u.s. t.v. network c.b.s. this claim that the vast majority of american media is biased but lara logan now says she's been hounded for expressing such a 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 and put cast into fishy clones of the main problem of the us media that it means to have a lead to the left leading to sacrifices in objectivity and a lack of representation for 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 are left or liberal or democrat or 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 look at the interview that was mocked by some who took to twitter to claim that she can't be trusted because of her involvement in a dubious report on benghazi back in twenty thirteen others of a allege her opinions motivated by a failure to be hard by any of the outlets left her post last year is chief foreign affairs correspondent c.b.s. she told the position for sixteen years is also host of the popular sixty minutes program which floored twenty thirteen billion dollars

a report just mentioned gary sheffield from accuracy in media agrees with logan. they're very reflective of reality i'm glad someone working for a mainstream organization has finally willing 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 bring some reality into the conversation a lot of conservatives huge and a study that showed that that majority of republicans believe that they should be able to not understand people like we see over and over to me to journalists having to retract their stories or to correct their stories so if the mainstream media really wants to improve our country balance in the reporting. well among the analysts alleged to have a liberal bias are the new york times the huffington post and c.b.s. gary sheffield again believes the media has long been left leaning. 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 chill report about laura 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. primary school children in the u.k. are to be taught about gay and transgender relations now this is part of a plan by the government to overhaul sex education in the country i speak now to r.t. correspondent and shirking her own spin on the lie nothing issue of sex education obviously it's a very sensitive one what's the talk been about this proposal. well neil of indeed very sensitive and also very divisive as education officials here roll out new guidance plans for relationship and sex education and exactly what the department

of education has been suggesting is including new compulsory classes on sex ad for schools across england which would include things such as relationship education for primary school kids which would mean children as young as four years old and sex and relationship classes for secondary school pupils as well as mental and physical health classes for all the children attending schools in england and this has been causing quite a stir not only is this the first attempt to improve or put in place new regulation as long as twenty years but this is also been a very divisive issue so far in the sense that there's been lots of debate about the role parents play in this with some saying that. while the government promises that the parents will be able to withdraw their children from any classes related

to sex until those children reach the age of consent and then make those decisions decisions themselves many parents have been saying that is just not good enough they're describing till they don't want any such topics to be part of a mandatory curriculum and have been saying that it's up to the parents to educate their children their children on such issues. we have grave concerns about the physical or psychological and spiritual implications of teaching children about certain sexual and relational concepts proposed in c. and believe that they have no place within a mandatory school curriculum that's part of an online petition that was signed by over one hundred thousand people which in itself prompted a debate. it's in parliament earlier today here in westminster where we're debating really the extent of this problem with questions about age appropriateness with questions about the school all of this will be taking as well as how it would all

end up working in the end.
