8:02 pm
ah ah ah ah. ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah the turmoil in venezuela is being heightened by a debate over whether to allow u.s. aid into the country truckloads of supplies have been amassed on the borders with colombia and brazil over the weekend president maduro has blocked the deliveries fearing the vehicles could be carrying weapons caches at checkpoints between opposition supporters and people loyal to madeira left at least four people dead over the weekend. the u.n. security council has met in new york to discuss the situation in venezuela u.s. envoy for venezuela elliott abrams called for more sanctions on caracas in response russian representative ceiling a benza raised the u.s. history of military interventions and called other countries naive for supporting the u.s. position more dural and his cronies and some in this body claim that delivering humanitarian assistance is a political show what took place on saturday was reminiscent not of help but by
8:03 pm
what the u.s. calls force feeding which apparently having trained on guantanamo prisoners the american authorities decided to force feed the whole country we ask that others join us in sanctioning those who've been involved in the violence over the last weekend and stead of a hypocritical attempt to introduce assistance for twenty million dollars it is necessary to lift the blocking of accounts of venezuelan state owned enterprises in american banks which totals eleven billion dollars what about venezuelan gold in great britain washington and london just recently stole thirty billion dollars from the venezuelan people in oil and bank assets a lot of money is owed. to russia. and you are no doubt worrying whether that money is going to be repaid i am addressing the countries that have supported the self-proclaimed president. are you so naive that you think you have immunity from things like this do you think that you will not be next in line i
8:04 pm
reject from top to bottom accusations of military intervention from a country that is occupying the territory of georgia and ukraine in so upset you know because you're in crimea against the background of what you were doing in venezuela your accusations just to sound ridiculous. well as you just heard it was a rather tense atmosphere as we heard from the fifteen members of the u.n. security council addressing the meeting on venezuela now it's important to know that the representative of the united states who took the floor on behalf of the united states as you just saw was elliott abrams and elliott abrams has quite a history in latin america south of the us border and he apparently was convicted for misrepresenting and essentially lying to congress regarding his that work and support for organizations in nicaragua that engaged in violent terrorism with the
8:05 pm
intention of overthrowing the sandinista government during the one nine hundred eighty s. elliott abrams was also apparently involved in the shipping in of weapons into nicaragua under the guise of humanitarian aid now the foreign minister of venezuela spoke and he pointed out that these humanitarian aid convoys seem to have some rather suspicious content here is what he said. and here we also have trucks and let me tell you that when the truck was inspected there wasn't just food and medicine in the truck it was a quick one for barricades it was nails i don't know what this is what was in the truck nails wire when security forces inspected this is what they found. so he was going over the fact that it appears that these trucks supposedly containing humanitarian aid had other content within them content that could have been used for violence and destabilization in venezuela he also brought photographs before the u.n. security council showing and seeming to indicate that essentially these aid trucks
8:06 pm
that were caught on fire were lit by an anti venezuelan government activists and he also showed photographs of the various cocktails flaming bottles that were brought to the event for the purpose of lighting a fire and causing unrest essentially argued that this was a provoked situation and that israel was being provoked on its border now there were clear divisions in the international community among different countries that addressed the meeting some countries were recognizing the doura as the legitimate president of venezuela as a result of the fact that he was elected over other countries seem to be lending their support to one grade zero and the opposition one way to is now in colombia and he's getting the support the united states and proclaiming himself to be the leader as the tensions over venezuela political analyst chris bambery shared his thoughts with us on the country's future. well the americans are trying to do is
8:07 pm
put pressure on the military in venezuela to shift the doura so far that hasn't happened the weakness of the jurors 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 and crackers received to save them. no more do is almost entirely on the army and the reason that kind of thus far we haven't seen this kind of mass movement coming to me is eat so the thousand of those in one question is is what i say to venezuela militant will take is it going to continue its 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 there's a stomach for it in the united states of america post 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. theresa may has told members
8:08 pm
of parliament they will get a say on whether to rule out a no deal bragg's it and crash out of the e.u. in a month's time or to delay britain's departure vote will be triggered if the commons rejects the prime minister's bragg's a plan next month her offer was met with yet more skepticism from m.p.'s clive lost count of the number of times the prime minister has come to this house to explain a further kind of voted to end on the certainty of by blocking the deal the government. hearing on 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 like nothing changed from the that this. some of us who used to sit over there are now sitting over here it is the prime minister's obstinacy that is
8:09 pm
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 our lives employment for living and growing can only be described as grotesquely reckless yeah the world of politics is a fickle sick old 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 all we can choose to leave with no deal we could risk no bricks it at all or we can choose to unite to support the best deal that can be negotiated this deal
8:10 pm
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 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 a 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 have against the wall so reason may has an ounce that she will be holding a second meaningful vote by tuesday the twelfth of march at the latest and 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.
8:11 pm
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 to reason may refer 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 off 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.
8:12 pm
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 two reason they didn't accept this option of a delay to bragg's it and jeremy call been the leader of the opposition labor party he's come out with his own brags that announcement and that is that the labor party won't support to resume maze of boat plan as jeremy corbin calls it so for all those thinking that this brags it ride would be 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. indian media has reported
8:13 pm
a heavy exchange of fire between india and pakistan in disputed kashmir leaving at least five soldiers wounded al-jazeera says additionally that four civilians were killed including two children while seven people have been injured reports of multiple violations of the cease fire line in kashmir came in on tuesday following an airstrike by india new delhi said it hit a training camp belonging to a kashmir based terror organization killing three hundred fighters india's foreign secretary says the air strike targeted the group mohammed which struck a police convoy earlier this month killing at least forty officers. in india has been repeatedly urging pakistan to take action against a gesture of how much to prevent these from being trained and armed inside pakistan . but has taken no concrete action to dismantle the infrastructure of terrorism on its soil in the face of. a preemptive strike became absolutely miss the
8:14 pm
city. the strikes are the first across the facto border since a war between the two countries broke out in one nine hundred seventy one pakistan condemned the incursion while the military rejected india's claims saying that no infrastructure was hit no casualties reported and pakistani jets forced of the indian planes back to their own territory pakistani military also shared images of the alleged aftermath of the incident the foreign minister insists his country will respond. to. all. groups. and producing. here is what experts in both india and pakistan have been telling us i guess sunny's going to be nigh that. succeeded militarily because that would be a huge blow to their out kristie especially of the military establishment saw in
8:15 pm
fact they denied that we succeeded in two thousand and sixteen as well when the prime minister narendra modi ordered our land to be. surgical strike or special operations mission inside the senate to treat on both cases the middle point that terrorism be not go unanswered and that's why you want to see these contrasting accounts that i think the situation is very committed to defer to share in the battle of the scene where this indian plane had hit it was empty land it was a lot east because of the shape of the four bombs that did drop there was a nearby mud developing and i think that the cats have a good that 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 all but there is a fact that there is a breach a pox on solving anything and pakistan has made it clear that they are going to get it back but in what manner that is a question that is
8:16 pm
a guess by anybody who was president trump has arrived in vietnam where he will meet with north korean leader kim jong un we'll bring you details on short break this is art international. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the ball different clubs on one hand it is logical to go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and the fresh perspective i'm used to surprising. if you think. i'm going to talk about football not for you or else you can think i was going to.
8:17 pm
by the way what is it that. the trumpet ministrations attempts to impose regime change in venezuela appear to be faltering this self-proclaimed interim president. hasn't gained much traction this me explain the administration's escalating rhetoric after all we're told a military option is still on the table. welcome back this is our international vietnam's capital is playing host to a second summit between the u.s. president and the north korean leader donald trump's air force one touched down a few hours ago while arrived a little earlier on tuesday is hoped they can reach a compromise leading to the denuclearization of the korean peninsula as well as the
8:18 pm
lifting of crippling sanctions imposed on roughly video agency producer. is in hanoi for us. it was the hopefulness with second summit with kim 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. a couple of days what are the feelings mutual well north korea seems to be excited and no wonder after all historic by supporting it is all that's able to some media reports even claim north korean leader cannot have even said this to us top diplomat mike pump 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 to home life still considering criticism donald trump faces over the summit from opposition at home north korea through its own state media warn the skeptics to not let this is sturrock opportunity be shattered but the summit does not only concern just washington in pyongyang so how do the other
8:19 pm
regional neighbors feeling about it. despite the fact japan's will sever 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 the letter that he sent to the people who give out a thing called a nobel prize he said i have nominated you or we specially in behalf of japan. i am asking them to give you the nobel peace price that that not colver well what the opposition especially after prime minister's office refused to comment on the allegations abduction nuclear insult to mid range missile issues not resolved at
8:20 pm
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 whom just like his ally in washington has also said that he's expecting great things coming out of this meeting. i expect it to be a turning point for the advances 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 that will be among the point 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 by israel to be a very tough challenge for everyone involved in the situation but considering that
8:21 pm
the idea of i.q.'s both korean some. years ago maybe there is still a chance for a happy go collusion. the british police force has been found guilty of discrimination after rejected an applicant who is a white heterosexual male cheshire police were in the middle of a diversity drive when it turned down twenty five year old matthew for along wanted to follow his father's footsteps in the force it is completely south that my confidence in the police force recruitment system had i why don't my interview form and said i was bisexual for instance there's a strong possibility i would be working for cheshire police now based on the law i . cheshire police say they are aware of the tribunals decision and have agreed to review the results for long lawyers say it is the first discrimination case of its kind in the u.k. you put the issue up for debate with stephen morris from the english democrats
8:22 pm
party and political and social commentator mo ansari. the police have always s'posed to be seen to be fair seem to be treat people without fear or favor thus their rules now what they're doing is they are blatantly discriminating against people so any trust people have in the police is going to be gone you know how can you trust them when you know full well that they are not looking to recruit the best people for the job they are just recruited based on ticking a box so in fact what we see steven and the others who might think like him is that discrimination and treating people less favorably but for their race or their protective characteristics has been going on for decades and pretty. sad to say by white heterosexual men and they have had the jobs they've had the lion's share of income even though we monitor equal pay they will still have the lion's share and so positive action is about redressing a balance about saying that when things are in mono not
8:23 pm
a positive. result that let me off if i were to discrimination no no no sorry steve stephen i'm sorry i'll correct you in a matter of fact and a matter of law having taken race discrimination cases although it's the wrong course of justice no offense to stephen but this is now i do it well i'm not sure tribune official. relations committees. as a try to your employment role as a trade union. don't use racism to. discriminate you discriminate against. gays racism we've seen racism in the police force now racism is wrong it should be done on nothing else right now if you're saying positive action that's just annoyed with a blatant racism and even steven when we look at positive action we're talking about underrepresented minorities whether they are black with their muslim jewish gay bisexual transgender all the people we need policies which are in society and absolutely you are right and the trouble potentially is right and it's finding if
8:24 pm
they have treated him less badly but for his sex nor to doing this to our families . it was right it was in question he was saying it was he well let's see i mean appeal to things happened but at the minute the fighting we have is that but for the fact of his race and it being bisexual he had been he had been more likely to have got a job i agree we cannot discriminate even against which is wrong because i mean i should heterosexual men it's all about freedom of choice if people do not want to go on the police then fine but find out the reasons why it's not purely down to the recruitment process that. people from the pain groups or the gay groups. british labor party leader jeremy corbyn is facing another wave of secret me the mail on sunday newspaper claims his close adviser seamus milner has ties to russia as well as the palestinian militant group hamas in the article it is alleged that together with corbin milne travelled to the middle east to meet hamas leaders corbin's eight is also accused of having links to the russian government story
8:25 pm
prior to cuba really emphasizes that he chaired a conference in russia in two thousand and fourteen which was attended by vladimir putin. the paper also quoted former british intelligence chiefs or richard dearlove as saying corbin would have to drop his closest aide if he becomes prime minister. i am alarmed enough by corbin's past associations but milnes put him beyond the pale that means corbin could not make the judgments and decisions a prime minister has to make unless he stopped consulting him. seamus milne is the labor party's director of strategy and communications is also former columnist and associate editor for britain's guardian newspaper his father was the late alistair milne who was a former director general of the b.b.c. he spoke to george galloway british politician broadcaster and writer who gave us his perspective. the proximate cause of the russian agent allegation is that each
8:26 pm
session of the valdai 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 if mr deal love knows something the rest of us don't know why didn't he tell the editor of the guardian the it was employ as his associate editor a k.g.b. spy why didn't he tell the house of commons i thought it is when mr milne was appointed three years ago jeremy corbin's right hand man you can't have this man in the building he's president putin's agent it's ridiculous you've got m i six trying to pick the next prime minister of britain now m i six brought down the first labor prime minister ramsay macdonald with the fake xanadu the now one hundred years
