it's ten o'clock here in moscow and you're watching altie international live from a studio with me in the day or two to a very well to the. russia is warning that the u.s. is getting ready to intervene in venezuela and topple him battled president nicolas maduro up to now washington has only thrown its support behind south declared president. slapping sanctions on officials and materials government and inviting others to follow the lead the secretary of the russian security council says the u.s. troop movements to colombia and puerto rico precursors to a military invasion but in a caution of a small. and since the pressure on the van as well and president nicolas maduro is mounting as the u.s. supported south nominated candidate one why don't the owls to bring him down even

as well a colombia border has recently become quite a hot spot and ongoing standoff as the u.s. has decided to deliver humanitarian aid to the water in between as well and colombia claiming that the country is suffering from a humanitarian crisis on the other hand venezuelan president has rejected these claims saying that this delivery might be used as a pretext to enter the country and now russia's security council has shared duros concerns by saying that deploying troops and special ops forces to puerto rico and columbia washington is getting ready to intervene in vain as well and topple its leader this is what the secretary of russia's security council had to say on this matter. sarcasm and arrogance towards the missouri when people the u.s.

is preparing a military invasion of an independent state in american special forces to poor to recoat landing u.s. forces and all the facts indicate the plan to going to strengthen the troops in the region to oust legally elected president. people understand this world. their reaction their refusal to accept the goods from the grass a country and support the president well the secretary also added that the u.s. has offered to hold a meeting on the situation and been as well with the russian side and moscow agreed however of these two meeting navarrete to clayson there was rescheduled using different reasons for it several times so while russia's security council as well as been as well are warning of a possible u.s. military intervention washington as well as self nominated candidate one dog have never ruled out that particular possibility moreover of why dog recently said

that it is time to take action and the other day he also tweeted that it's time to make a decision and proposed to the international community to keep all options open the warnings from russia come shortly after president meant to call to the u.s. for preparing to wage a war over venezuela's foster resources he blames washington for stirring discontent in his country the united states wants venezuela's oil and they're willing to go to war for about oil they are trying to fabricate a crisis justify political escalation and military intervention in venezuela. meanwhile the so-called group gathered in colombia with opposition leader to discuss the crisis the bloc of fourteen countries is sending an appeal to the international criminal court demanding it consider the humanitarian situation in venezuela with an eye on what they call the criminal violence against his own

people the vast majority of the back to the u.s. vice president was also among the attendees to pledge additional funding for those who signed with washington. 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 or pressure of the middle regime its good people of venezuela. should your freedom. we will go with you. you go would go. by on how do you. and so has also had a message for the south proclaimed interim president clinton 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 face being held accountable for the weekend's border violence. as the limit move for how discussions around two hundred protesters it

gathered outside the court in the history of foreign affairs they denounce both the prospect of foreign intervention and the go to for colluding with washington to attack in this way. as political and civil tensions have venezuela political analyst chris bambery shared with us his thoughts on the country's future. well the americans are trying to do is put pressure on the military in venezuela to shift to dob so far that hasn't happened the weakness of the druze position is is that unlike his predecessor hugo chavez feast of the coup twenty years ago which of those who call a mass movement that was brutal insurrection crackers received to save them are no . one almost entirely on the army and the reason that kind of thus far we haven't seen this kind of mass movement coming to recede so the throes of the thousand one job all question is is what attitude. will take is it going to continue support

will 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 pushed the right course to libya and also the sight of american troops in any white american country brings back memories of america's record on that continent. former british intelligence chiefs richard the deal of claims that opposition leader jeremy corbin's closest aide poses a threat to national security is over alleged ties to russia and the palestinian militant group hamas. seamus mill is the labor party's director of strategy and communications he's also

a former commie economist and associate editor for britain's guardian newspaper his father was the late alice tamil who was a former director general of the b.b.c. well live now to a former british m.p. and now the host of sport nicol r.t. george galloway george they've put out of the program now you personally know seamus milne what do you make of the accusations. well he's been my closest friend since the one nine hundred seventy s. the exact period in which richard deal of alleges that he's effectively been a soviet to no russian agent if i want but once the proximate cause of the russian agent allegation is that each session of the walda conference in sochi where president putin was one of the speakers in this he has in common with many other top journalists from very hostile newspapers like the new york times the

washington post and many other journalists and many other countries how that causes him as a russian agent an agent of president putin is simply laughable he was there as the associate editor of the guardian a very anti russian newspaper but the allegation about being a former soviet fellow traveler stems from the fact that in your post the jihadist infiltration of afghanistan in the late seventy's and early eighty's the fathers of the taliban and al qaida and so on and in so far as that is true and it is true he deserves a medal because he was able to see what others in the political class in britain could not see that this month's star of islamist fanaticism and extremism would grow and grow until it began to devour all of us seamus milne as you've just said

is one of the brightest most intellectual men in this country from a lineage of such men his father was the head of the b.b.c. he was a star scholar oxford university he has worked for the guardian for thirty years and formally worked under andrew neil of the b.b.c. . the economist the allegations are out and nonsense but what is significant is that deal of the disgraced head of the iraq war time british security service is effectively laying down conditions under which the british intelligence community would accept a decision by the british voters to elect jeremy corbyn as their prime minister and he says in this piece that the queen would have to pick someone else other than jeremy corbin even if corben had won a general election because he could not be trusted with secrets from the united

states and of our allied countries and he implied from the british intelligence services themselves thus you've got m i six trying to pick the next prime minister of britain no i'm a six brought down the first labor prime minister ramsay macdonald with the fake xanadu the now one hundred years later almost they're trying to pick the next one. i tell you george though you're talking about the british intelligent community in a male is a public speaker figure and he's had you know the spotlight on him for many years so why do you think that nothing if he was indeed thought that he might be a spy why it was nothing done before do you think exactly if mr deal love knows something the rest of us don't know including me his closest friend then why didn't they act on it before why didn't he tell the editor of the guardian that he was

employed as his associate editor a k.g.b. spy why didn't he tell the house of commons or thought it is when mr milne was appointed three years ago germany corbin's right man you can't have this man in the building he's president putin's agent it's ridiculous but i'm afraid par for the course in this boiling mass of hatred of russia that exists within the political and media and intelligence class here in britain ok we'll leave it there george galloway foreign push m.p. and host of sputnik on r.t. thanks for coming on the programs to talk about what a shame a small thank you. tres may has told m.p.'s they'll get a say on whether to last and no deal breaks it and crash out of the in a month's time or to delay britain's departure trickett if the commons rejects the prime minister's present plan next month her offer was met with yet more skepticism

from an piece. but i've lost count of the number of times the prime minister has come to this house to explain a further delay voted to end on certain g i but king the deal the government. here the prime minister can surely not be unaware of the fear out there in the country about what no deal means my sole focus throughout all of this has been on getting a deal that enables us to leave the european union on the twenty ninth of march with a deal this is a shameful moment nothing has changed from the fact that some of us who used to sit over there are now sitting over here it is the prime minister's obstinacy that is blocking a resolution and it is the right honorable gentleman who has kept no deal on the table by refusing to agree. i will not sit one more day and listen

to her crow about employment. where where our lives employment is falling and get used bro you can only be described as grotesquely reckless yeah the world of politics is a fickle cycle place take a listen to all the times to reason may insisted that it was her way or the highway the choice before us is clear this deal all leave with no deal all the all no bricks it at all we can choose to leave with no deal we could risk no bricks it at all or we can choose to unite and support the best deal that can be negotiated this deal with for as long as we fail to agree a deal the risk of an accidental no deal increases the deal we've negotiated is a deal that almost a referendum on as a result of the referendum and it's the best deal if it indeed is the only deal available any delay is

a delay it doesn't address the issue it doesn't. resolve the issue i think there is the opportunity to leave with the deal on the twenty ninth of march and that's what we're going to be working on well that was the gist of her message up until as late as last night when she gave a press conference in sharm el sheikh but today following a cabinet meeting where it is she ended up with her back against the wall to reason may has an ounce she will be holding a second meaningful vote i choose day the twelfth of march at the latest then if she loses that vote the government she says will hold another parliamentary vote on whether or not the house supports a no deal departure from the e.u. and if we end up in a situation where both to reason may's deal and a no deal scenario have been rejected by politicians in parliament then on the fourteenth of march the government will start the parliamentary process that will

approve what to reason may be referred to as a short and necessary delay to britain's departure from the e.u. a delay of around about two months to resume a said and some politicians started saying immediately that this delay such a short delay would simply prolong the kind of chaos that we're seeing now and put all of the prospect of a cliff edge no deal bragg's it by simply just a couple of months to resume a's argument is that we can't possibly the u.k. can't be members of the e.u. by the end of june when there will be e.u. parliamentary elections that just isn't an option the u.k. shouldn't be taking part in those if it wants to leave the e.u. to resume a was under intense pressure from some of her own cabinet ministers who were threatening to resign if to reason they didn't accept this option oh. of

a delay to break is it and jeremy corbin the leader of the opposition labor party he's come out with his own brags that announcement and that's that the labor party won't support to resume maze of botched plan as jeremy corbyn calls it so for all those thinking that this brags it ride would be over either way after the twenty ninth of march well now it could be suspended up in the air until the end of may or if labor gets its way there could be another public vote to potentially cancel the entire thing just another day in the land of bragg's it. a series of facebook news pages linked to r.t. hour back online after the firm producing them agreed to the social media giants new demands facebook could block the popular pages for ten days the four sites including in the now were sought after details about the project's owners were made clearer they're produced by the german registered company moffitt media which is

largely owned by news agency ruptly rafiq media insists its editorial independent of r.t. c.e.o. and he said now he says facebook's demands are unprecedented. after ten days down all my pages including in the now a back up we have to put an unprecedented disclaimer in our broad section no channel has ever been required to do that let's hope this policy will be rolled out and be required of all channels not just ones that see things some people don't like. it's booked the pages down only after it was contacted by u.s. news network c.n.n. but it was five days after that when the social platform finally contacted the pages produces facebook doesn't currently have a formal policy in place requiring state backed outlets to disclose their funding but a supposed person revealed that it's seeking to exhibit potentially misleading behavior with more to be announced journalist and political commentator martin somers things

the social networks should show more respect for their uses. facebook is drawing the attention is going to draw it commercially if it doesn't turn for the respect of the people who use it and that's that that's the dilemma they're in governments are putting money to pressure to do certain things but their audiences on put him under pressure to do the opposite to make them on which side of the fence the wrong you know all of these big media companies are actually under scrutiny about what they actually do and you know how they actually operate and what they allow what they don't allow in how they're funded and so on i think we are doing this is to do with misleading information is a red herring it's nothing to do with a general thing about disintegration and i'm afraid that's the space that's developing those people won't accept genuine opinions which they wish they disagree with or just won't try and suppress them because they're involved in psychological warfare. in your claim is it a training camp belonging to a kashmir based terror group cling three hundred fighters according to government sources the indian foreign secretary says the air strike targeted the josh elements

group which was responsible for the deaths of at least forty police officers earlier this month. india has been repeatedly urging pakistan to be action against a gesture how much to prevent jihad these from being trained and armed inside pakistan. but has no concrete action to dismantle the infrastructure of terrorism on its soil in the face of. a preemptive strike became absolutely necessary the strikes are the first across the defacto border since a war between the two countries broke out in nine hundred seventy one pakistan condemned the incursion while the military rejected india's claim saying that no infrastructure was hit no casualties were reported and pakistani jets force the engine planes back to their own territory the pakistani military also shared images of the alleged aftermath of the incident the foreign minister insists his country

will respond. on. the. bottom. of it. here's what experts in both india and pakistan have been telling us. august sun is going to be nigh. succeeded militarily because that would be a huge blow to tear out christie especially of the military establishment saw in fact they denied that we succeeded in two thousand and sixteen as well when prime minister narendra modi ordered to be. surgical strike or special operations mission inside the senate territory on both cases the middle point that terrorism will not go unanswered and that's why you want to see these contrasting it comments that i think the situation is very good. all the scene where this. inherited

it was empty land it was of august because of the shift of the four bombs that did go up there was a nearby mud to really and i think that the gaps are a good one person was injured and that is all what has happened there are no funerals the i don't know dead bodies but there is also what does affect their bid is a little box on solvent and pakistan has made it clear that they are going to get it back but in what manner that is a question or that is a guess by anybody. in arms capital is playing host to a second summit between the u.s. president and the north korean leader don't try to force one touched on a few hours ago while it a little earlier on tuesday as hope they can reach a compromise meeting to the. station of the korean peninsula as well as the lifting of crippling sanctions imposed on pyongyang video agency and see past is

in hanover for us. and it was the men hopefulness with second summit with kim john only on the horizon trump feels like is on top of the world i hope that very positive things are going to happen i think that it will be a very exciting couple of days what are the feelings me. well north korea seems to be excited and no wonder after all our historic peace opportunity is all that's able some media reports even claim north korean leader kim jong said this to us top diplomat mike pompei oh i'm a father and husband and i have children and i don't want my children to carry the nuclear weapon on that back their whole life still considering criticism donald trump faces over the summit from opposition at home north korea through its own state media war in the skeptics to not let this is sturrock opportunity be shattered but the summit does not only concern just the washington in pyongyang so how do the other regional neighbors feeling about it. despite the fact japan's will

sever a north korean test missiles flying over it was the concern over the outcome of the talks after all if a deal is struck it's unclear whether japan's concerns will be addressed what made the situation worse with the allegations that japanese prime minister abby officially requested for trump to be nominated for the nobel peace price in fact i think i can say this prime minister robbie of japan gave me the most beautiful copy of a letter that he sent to the people who give out a thing called the nobel price he said i have nominated you or respectfully in behalf of japan. i am asking them to give you the nobel peace price that the not cool over well what the opposition especially after prime minister's office refused to comment on the allegations abduction new quinn sought to mid range missile issues not resolved at all i'm concerned that it would give the wrong message to north korea and the international community if we accept that the current situation

deserves the nobel peace prize. south korean president moon just like us in washington has also said that he's expecting great things coming out of this meeting. i expect it to be a turning point philip vance's completed denuclearization of the korean peninsula new u.s. north korean relations and a peace regime on the korean peninsula president move might come out of this as the biggest winner of these talks and in a way it seems that he is risking more than anyone else if these talks lead to a dead end after all this country there will be among the prime targets for the nuclear capable north korean missiles south korean foreign minister said his country is looking forward to a quote tangible and substantial results with all the hopes skepticism and fears involved coming to a specific results might turn out to be a very tough challenge for everyone involved in the situation but considering that the idea of i.q. west north korean summit started absolutely impossible just two years ago maybe

there is still a chance for having occlusion. the iranian foreign minister surprise resignation has been rejected by president rouhani according to a statement from the foreign ministry mohamed job at sorry and it. is quoting up to five years but didn't say why here are some of the key moments during his time as yvonne's top diplomat. ten to one thousand and ten those feces they have. put into perspective vis a president today's resolution can only be mine be iranian people of the historic injustice.

these are very. difficult we heard from lonnie who's a visiting scholar at the center for middle east teams extent he's he believes cyrus professionalism and his pivotal role in the nuclear deal make the chili indispensable. i think the resignation to the popularity of mr zarif if he leaves as one of the architects of the. as one of the most. supporters of the nuclear deal i think he can have serious impacts on the fate of the record as a whole his departure can have i think serious impacts on iran's foreign policy and

that's why you ran an administration as well as his critics are urging him to say. to american states of back to law that seeks to overturn the way people choose their president in the u.s. carney comes down to primarily how many states are won by a candid it as opposed to a one person one vote basis calls for change you've been going since dull translates into and sixteen eagle is a ton of rain sit down. america a place that writes dates backwards has a really weird voting system and uses around four times more water than europe to flush their number ones and twos and if you think i'm going to talk about flushing here i totally will except not in the sense you were perhaps expecting the us voting system so far has been centered around the concept of an electoral college but there's

a growing movement in america to send it down the drain and see what i did there the states of new mexico and colorado have backed a law that seeks to decide who wins the presidency based on how the majority of people vote making sure that people no matter where they happen to live have an equal vote we or last i checked the legislature and we do under the united states constitution have an authority to determine whatever manner we would like. to point our electors if you're confused at this point you have every right to be in the us it's not about how many people vote for each candidate like in most democracies it is about how many states each candidate wins. every four years the people of america elect a president well they don't not directly they are electing the electors and the electors vote for the president that happens in every us state the more people that

live in a state the more electors they have so you just have to choose the elected pledged the candidate you like best if a majority in your state vote for the electors supporting a different candidate that will mean your state supports him or her to become president so it's not a popular vote which determines the president to get into the white house candidates need the electors to support them well at least half is enough mass two hundred seventy people to the future president doesn't really need a popular majority in fact the candidate could even lose a popular vote but still win with enough electors in the bag. this is how al gore lost to bush in year two thousand despite getting half a million more people's votes and more recently that's how hillary clinton lost to trump so no wonder she's been one of the most vocal advocates to tear down the electoral college do you think the electoral college should be able i said that in two thousand i thing.
