as far as the colombia venezuela border the u.n. security council means to discuss possible ways out of the crisis. call it in the commons of british prime minister says m.p.'s will get a vote on a no deal breaker. if they reject. three hundred members of the terror group in pakistan controlled kashmir furious pakistani leaders to respond.

it's midnight here in moscow and you're watching international live from a studio with me. a very warm welcome to the program. violence has fled again at the venezuela colombia border over the blockade of humanitarian aid and it's what his government says is taking preventative measures against foreign intervention. was the turmoil in venezuela is being heightened by a debate over whether to allow u.s. aid into the country truckloads of supplies have amassed on the borders with colombia and brazil over the weekend. has blocked the deliveries. fearing the

lorries could be carrying weapons clashes at checkpoints between opposition supporters and people. left at least two people to at over fifty. in new york the u.n. security council is meeting to discuss the situation in venezuela u.s. and wait for venezuela and it. has already addressed at the meeting calling for more sanctions on caracas kalam open is live for us in new york following the meeting how has the council meeting gone so far. well the meeting has begun in the security council chamber and already we have heard from elliott abrams representing the united states he is the these special u.s. representative for venezuela and he sat in the chamber representing the united states and delivered a series of remarks condemning the venezuelan government and calling for harsh

actions against them this is some of what we heard from elliott abrams speaking for the united states at the fifteen member body that leads the united nations to. call on member states to consider what resources and tools they to contribute to venezuelan democracy and to pressure the illegitimate rural regime to peacefully step down we ask that others join us in sanctioning those who've been involved in move over the last weekend and who are frightened by the spoils of the manure all regimes corruption. now in his remarks elliott abrams said that only the government of venezuela was engaging in violence however many have pointed out that the opposition in venezuela has been involved in a number of violent acts including assassinations and other activities now it's also important to note that elliott abrams has a long record in latin america and for example many critics of elliot abrams have pointed out that in nicaragua he was involved in the smuggling in of weapons under

the guise of humanitarian aid and he was convicted for lying to congress about certain activities in latin american support for certain organizations in central america nicaragua and elsewhere and now it's important also to know that we have heard from the secretary of the russian state security council indicating that the united states seems to be planning some kind of military intervention in venezuela this is what we heard from a russian official. soon sarcasm and arrogance towards the missouri when people the u.s. is preparing a military invasion of an independent state. special forces to put three coup landing u.s. schools to some of the facts indicate that the pentagon is strengthening its troops in the region legally elected president. the people understand this will hence the reaction the refusal to accept the goods from the grass the country and support the

president of russia that the u.s. is preparing to take military action in venezuela that. know. now abrams has dismissed those claims saying that the united states is not planning any invasion that was groundless however at the same time many people are watching this u.n. security council as there seems to be some rather harsh rhetoric coming from the countries aligned with the united states who recognize one way doe and no longer recognize nicolas maduro as the elected president of venezuela many countries are so. to speak as the meeting continues so all eyes are on the security council many countries will be coming up and addressing the platform and addressing the situation in venezuela many countries from the region and around the world are going to be giving their insights to the security council meeting and they certainly will. have more in their reporting from new york thanks for the update and now live to daniel mccown timbs executive director of the ron paul institute.

thanks for coming on to the program now we had what caleb said russia says washington is considering the possibility of military intervention in venezuela while u.s. envoy for venezuela has just announced that it's not on the cards could the trumpet demonstration still be considering a minute she operation in your opinion. well i think they are considering a military operation i think their wings have been clipped slightly by the fact that the limit group. statement sixteenth statement in their recent statement from their meeting yesterday explicitly rejected the idea of military being involved in any kind of military operation against venezuela so i think that makes it slightly difficult however that does not mean as your reporter mentioned that there wouldn't be special forces there wouldn't be the infiltration of of cia troops of covert forces attempting to further destabilize to rest low level guerrilla warfare so you certainly could see that but

a full scale invasion at this point with out the support of the u.s. allies in the lima group i think will be slightly difficult political. legacy have the situation on the pull of the red cross and the united nations they've declined to take politics in u.s. humanitarian aid deliveries does this somewhat discredit what washington is doing on the border. because yes because what washington is doing is not humanitarian aid it is using food it's weaponized seeing humanitarian assistance with the explicit explicit desire to overthrow the government you know in the lives it's being told to the american viewer is that manure all is really rejecting humanitarian aid he just wants his people to starve as they said about gadhafi as they said about people like assad anyone who the u.s. regime targets for regime change or worse in the case of gadhafi this is what they say however as it is absolutely not true the russian aid has been coming through the u.n.

aid has been coming through and in fact the red cross is furious that the opposition in venezuela are dressing like red cross volunteers while they burn up the aid that the u.s. is putting on the on the on the on the bridge. you know if we were if you were following the u.n. security council meeting actually the u.s. envoy to venezuela the u.n. spokesman earlier said that humanitarian aid shouldn't be used for political reasons meaning the opposite in case however do you think that washington's using aid delivery as a political weapon i mean you've just mentioned that the what we heard was was the opposite actually. i don't think there's any intention to deliver the aid to the aid is being dangled in front of the venezuelan people in the hopes that they will rise up against their government just like years of sanctions that have made their lives miserable to the point where they need humanitarian aid is designed to make them miserable enough to rise up against their government so it's

a very cynical u.s. foreign policy where you starve civilians you starve the most vulnerable layers of society in hoping to force them to rise up against their government first forward housing worked the aid at the border of colombia if it got through it was meant to show that it was losing his grip if it didn't get through which it didn't is meant to show what a monster he is by not letting aid in but in both cases it's actually backfired ok daniel mcadams executive director of the ron paul institute thanks very much for coming on to the program and having your opinions there thank you. now tracey may has told m.p.'s to get a say on whether to no deal bragg's it and crash out of the e.u. in a month's time or to delay britain's departure the vote will be triggered if the commons rejects the prime minister's back seat plan excitement was met with yet more skepticism from m.p.'s. 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. backing 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 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 growing up where where i live employment is for

living 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 or 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 so 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's 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. dissolve 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 is it is she ended up with her back against the wall to reason may has an ounce that 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 the two reason mase 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 to resume a 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 bragg's 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 a reason maze of botched plan is 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. in the claims it's a training camp belong to a kashmir based terror group killing three hundred fighters according to government sources the indian foreign secretary says the strike targeted the josh homme and 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 moment to prevent jihad these from being treated and been so focused on. pakistan has no concrete action to dismantle the infrastructure of terrorism on its soil in the face of. a preemptive strike became absolutely mr. the strikes are the first across the defacto borders and so war between the two countries broke out in one thousand 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 forced the engine planes back to their own territory. the pakistani military also showed images of the alleged aftermath of the incident the foreign minister insists his country will respond. on all. this form. of producing. k.

we're going to go live to our top story now back to venezuela which is being discussed at a u.n. security council meeting right now russia's represents a vastly. is speaking now let's take a listen and security. rules luther and all its own event to venezuela by a host of slaves and i think that in fact this is an issue should which should be held differently today we should discuss the situation not within venezuela but around and as well as you would today we would have we are once again aren't going to resent president another of a spectacle that the united states has created around venezuela for those who are distracted i will briefly recall the content of the previous series the previous number so it's a bargain in an independent latin american country there is an imposter for i don't

think that turned on the streets he proclaimed himself to be president of our country and immediately several minutes later was a good knowledge as such by the united states of america. and a number of a lot in american countries hesitate and in the to acknowledge this individual as president no they're legitimate leader of the country nicolas and i drove in the view of this group of countries a good one and during the elections last spring in an unfair way because the opposition boycotted them the fact that washington had incited opposition leaders that. to withdraw from the election naturally has not been publicized you know the most but i think that those people are now expounding on the constitutional process and the legitimacy of the authority of god on the basis of the venezuelan constitution and you wonder standing to me i understand that they sound

hypocritical and legally null and void it's a mockery of what we observe is the trampoline upon the law and constitutional rights are you not ashamed of saying this is when you do you not understand the. it's clear in any event to moment not a single self respecting jurist or judge was all signed on to this mockery this is disrespect for law as such which at least read the legal conclusions of the german going to stock and its legal service everything there is clear. in parallel there are moans and groans about the horrific economic situation as well as starving civilians and skyrocketing prices above and it is said that venezuela needs to be saved at any cost for the sake of its own citizens and for the fact to this country has since twenty thirteen been targeted

by american sanctions religion a largely other reason for the current economic situation in the countries of course. the fact that the overall damage to the country's economy as a result of the sanctions amounts to three hundred forty five billion us dollars of course is also passed over in silence and now what we want is that the situation around venezuela has brought to a boiling point and washington washington is blaming president by doing it all for all the ills in the country and organizing an operation entitled the delivery of humanitarian assistance in combination with a kurd of twenty three february. and unverified american cargo reached the area which was not requested by the authorities and there was an attempt to to illegitimately transfer this illegally to a neighboring state using civilians as human shields woman launched a legitimate authorities or venezuela are delivering performing their duties for

the protection of the state border they mobilize there's a good forces and who implemented a sole objective it to ensure the inviolability of the border who video images of what took place is clearly show to people moving from colombian territory were aggressive and they initially provoked to venezuelan military personnel and troops who were on duty to the point of the first victim from among the demonstrators emerging individuals who had been formed in vehicles around into the one side and quickly around the blockades on the colombian side this is reckless has been seen. the video images which have been published on social networks said they have no doubt that as a result they have been wounded and possibly dead but the victims and dead from the hands of those g.m. and its bloodshed is now being touted all over the media outlets like the deliberate ramming of individuals in any other part of the world is categorically

classified as terrorism however. it is viewed as the heroism of the desert hers who have a word challenge the authorities and why don't all approvingly pats these heroes on their balances the so-called humanitarians on the colombian side of the border very quickly transition to violence in protection of the venezuelan border there were rocks and molotov cocktails used you would agree that this senario is reminiscent of anything but the delivery of humanitarian assistance incidentally one of those same cocktails army was used the later by the protesters themselves to set ablaze the world has seen images of one of the demonstrators on colombian side deliberately or not throwing a flaming bottle which failed ultimately to cross the bridge. so based on all accounts on twenty three february we observed an attempt to open it and attempted

the legal state border crossing for the delivery of unknown cargo dear colleagues and this is good counsel which of your countries would act any differently under those circumstances would one country even wants to build a huge border on the border a huge wall on the border of another country to prevent an illegal border crossing go how is this not a moment isn't up to nine hundred eighty six when the manager insistence for nicaragua turned out to be an arms consignment to the contras unit and today we have in this connection we have potent and obvious deja vu that has arisen and let's go. call a spade a spade this is not humanitarian assistance and if the u.s. were genuinely to wish to help the venezuelan people then they would have operated through the u.n. agencies accredited in that country as has been successfully done by other countries for example the russian federation last week alone of chronic delivered

seven point five tons of medical goods to caracas we did so through the world health organization and we were not met with any obstacles and moreover they have been on authorities are willing to receive the necessary humanitarian assistance necessary for the country in order to work on the basis of that it is necessary to provide opportunities and block and block opportunities for caracas to carry on payments for the delivery of food and medicine that is necessary however americans and allies do not wish to harm to legitimately they have another goal one simply cannot call that humanitarian what took place on saturday was are innocent not of assistance but what is called forced feeding at the united states in the united states for the in an initiative this is a form of torture apparently having trained their detainees in guantanamo the us authorities now decided to force you to hold if you can so that the united states and their allies have the right to act this way then take

a look at general assembly resolution forty six one hundred eighty two what it said the normative legal framework for international humanitarian assistance my colleague the german government are present i have has just listed all or nearly all of the principles of matter and systems but he overlooked a very important one it explicitly states and from the implementation from activity i quoted it is necessary to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity and national unity of states must be fully replace respected in accordance with the chart of the united nations and. in this context but the humanitarian assistance should be provided with the consent of the affair. country and in principle on the basis of an appeal by the infected with country was there such a request you know. now we would like to thank all colleagues from u.n. agencies and their partners from a major humanitarian organizations for having refused to support this political

medication we demand. that there be an and to true violations of the un and general somebody resolutions for there to be respect for the sovereignty of the borders and national unity of the people men as well and i'm with you and try to instead of hypocritical attempts or to introduce twenty million dollars of assistance is necessary to immediately on block that the accounts of venezuelans today do not this is in the united states for eleven billion dollars. those which have been allocated for the government to receive medicine food and basic necessities and what about the assets of the. corporation seven billion u.s. dollars and what about venezuelan goldeneye to hail a unit in the united kingdom one point two billion u.s. dollars washington and london just recently stole all thirty billion dollars from the venezuelan people in oil and bank. let's call a spade

a spade we have evident our going to tell us how one country there attempts to bring it down to a state of west destitution border with a humanitarian intervention which is and responsible to protect which are not acknowledged in international law to do so and to oust an inconvenient regime and then you know people ask why do russia and other countries object to such a noble concept to respond it is clear whether or not too many examples of this in latin america alone you have a quote as follows from a u.s. historian harry harry stouter in its history of the united states that participated in two hundred eighty military interventions in. clear standoffs. on every corner of the globe and then. america's fate an institution of war as a divine instrument and sacred mandate to be exercised around the world and. i turn to those countries who supported the self-proclaimed so called president quite

there oh. boy are you truly so naive do you really believe that you are immune to this have you not heard statements from the us leader that cuba and caracas are next in line doesn't seem to you that you will not be next to put it but this is about just the warning to them this is a warning a word of caution to all who refuse to play by washington israel's you those who support washington and here is are complicit and will the violation of both you and try to international and perhaps bomb forbid armed intervention which in words you categorically object to we've just when you specifically don't understand why neighboring colombia colombia neighborhood as well as that of dealing with the platter of domestic problems for the implementation of a final peace agreement why did you decide to throw its full force behind this misadventure against its neighbor this cannot be disappointing because colombia

itself just recently extricated itself from our truck its civil war and the repercussions now which will take a very long time to surmount and there are not yet been any guarantees of a lasting peace that have a result incidentally so if you do the difficult during difficult times for colombia's during the difficult times when it will open its borders for more than five million refugees many of whom continue to reside in that country wish to caution against smoking as they are said to implement a military scenario in venezuela which we increasingly hear about and this is liable to have dire unpredictable consequences both for the region and the world for you we must be. all states in the region regardless of political really ations to firmly voice the next time zone or for the u.n. charter rejection threat and use of force and egregious violation angry just intervention domestic affairs of the time and we again and again

a resolution to them as well and more problems is simply the right purview and responsibility to vote as well you know themselves and they need to exercise this right without a lot of activity of intervention from broad international regional assistance of all should be here towards seeking ways to resolve the comment in that country with a full respect for its sovereignty and territorial integrity for this reason we welcome the going out and it here too by the participants of the montevideo mechanism where mexico bolivia and the care come countries on the top of our partner stand ready to deliver assistance going in seeking such a mutual understanding among all structed and patriotically mind in your system as well especially given that you were the venezuelan authorities call for and stress the imperative importance of domestic political dialogue with. the chair of the national assembly why did well why don't instead of discussing responsibilities for dialogue and national conciliation because upon it was to keep

a military scenario on the ready with the hard to call such calls a responsible conduct of a politician who cares for his people and his country mr president the humanitarian show that drill was routed by washington twenty three february expose those who generally are behind this scenes all have to center stage and it is now perfectly clear that one washington sold in venezuela was not resolving the problem and it's all not to move people but regime change including with threats to do so via regime we have you are an intervention the fact is this is being done in the name cause and contravention of the un. charter international law and civilized norms is of no concern to the authors what's up whatsoever this respect for these core principles of international relations has long become the norm for the united states they simply don't even pay attention to that can lead us to conclude.
