as violence flares. venezuela border the un security council meeting called to discuss the crisis turns into a war of words. join us in sanctioning those who've been involved in the violence over the last weekend instead of a hypocritical attempt to introduce the 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. cornered in the commons the british prime minister says m.p.'s will get a vote on a no deal or to delay britain's departure if they reject the mazy. planet next month. and india claims it has killed three hundred members of the

terror group in pakistan controlled kashmir angry pakistani leaders are. broadcasting live in moscow this is our two international certainly glad to have him with us. the violence has flared again at the venezuela colombia border over the blockade of humanitarian aid but israel's government says it is taking preventative action against foreign intervention. i. was.

in 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 of the deliveries fearing the vehicles could be carrying weapons clashes at checkpoints between opposition supporters and people loyal to madeira left at least four people dead over the past weekend. un 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 in a b enza raised the u.s. history of military interventions and called other countries naive for supporting the u.s. position. madeira 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 held but by

what the us calls force feeding 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 one 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 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 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. in 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 inspects and this is what they found we have information from from the country incidentally cuban russian weapons are being bought in eastern europe to be given to the opposite. with the aim of seizing an armed intervention in venezuela 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 un security council showing and seeming to indicate that essentially these aid trucks that were caught on fire were lit by an anti venezuelan government activists he also showed photographs of the various cocktails you know flaming bottles that were brought to the event for the purpose of lighting a fire and causing unrest he essentially argued that this was a provoked situation and that israel was being provoked on its borders now there were clear divisions in the international community among different countries that addressed the meeting some countries were recognizing the duro 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 good way to go and the opposition one way too is now in colombia and he's getting the support the united states and proclaiming himself to be the leader. to discuss the showdown in the security council we have

gabriel hedlund who is the assistant professor of latin american studies at the state university of new york thanks for being with us here. on our two international. during the sessions that we heard elliot abrams speaking he insisted on allowing in humanitarian aid to help the venezuelan people with the russian envoy charging the u.s. and u.k. with stealing of thirty billions of dollars of the country's oil and bank assets do you think the u.s. position is hypocritical in this case. it clearly is the u.s. is engaged in a little sanctions against venezuela which is by far and away the main source of revenue for the entire country and that's going to be costing the government even people who are you know very strong critics of them under administrations as francisco rios of trina i can nominate says that's going to cost the government billions and billions of dollars and could easily lead to assam and so then turning

around and offering suppose a humanitarian aid is the essence of hypocrisy on the part of the u.s. so abrams also said that more sanctions against venezuela are coming how do you think that this will in luhansk the venezuelan economy. economy has been you know talisman for years and years particularly since august two thousand and seventeen when the us tighten sanctions and effectively prevented venezuela from securing debt in most of the world the economy has gotten even worse and so any further sanctions that. target the economy will harm ordinary venezuelans profoundly and there is a real risk of famine if sanctions continue for a long time well venezuela's foreign minister. showed pictures of trucks which he said were us aid trucks but were actually filled with wire and nails. and of course

you know wire nails doesn't always necessarily say nefarious activity but is it at least suspicious. certainly i haven't seen the images and i can't comment exactly what i've seen suggest that the trucks had mostly food they didn't have medicine as they were supposed to have this is according to a twitter feed from a new york times reporter who actually was down there but obviously i think the us has a history of using humanitarian aid floor and its various purposes so that can't be discounted and more than that i mean we don't need to sort of parse tea leaves to know that the u.s. is openly calling for regime change in venezuela and that humanitarian aid is clearly in very openly explicitly designed to bring that about so it's not a secret that the u.s. is not primarily interested in helping the management people but rather in removing the government of nicolas maduro who i myself have strong critique of but i don't think the u.s. has a right to be involved in regime change with another trumpet ministration says cuba

and nicaragua are next. whatever that means are the countries supporting why don't we washington is right to choose the governments of other nations as well. didley they are i mean i don't think that so many of the governments that are supporting one would want that to happen and it's important to note that there are some visible splits even. politician in colombia the former president there has come out against u.s. military intervention so it's clear that there's. just content and there's some sort of second guessing happening within the you know social coalition supporting the u.s. but if they go through in supporting that they would effectively be sanctioning the u.s. as ability to engage in regime change all right interesting to hear thought it's going to be. tense to say the least to watch this all play out thanks for helping us wrap our minds around

a gayborhood linda system professor of latin american studies at state university of new york state with. have it. right theresa may has told members 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 the vote will be triggered if the commons rejects the prime minister's present planned next month her offer 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 a vote to end on certain g i but king the deal the government. here and 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 is kept no deal on the table by refusing to agree. i will not sit one more day and listen to her crow about employment going up where where i live employment is falling and get is 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 we can choose to leave with no deal we could risk no breaks it 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 negotiate it 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 any 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 is 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 by 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 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 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 that and jeremy corbyn 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 series of maze of botched plan as jeremy corbin calls it so for all those thinking that this brags it ride would be either way off to the twenty ninth of march well now it could be suspended up in the till the end of may or if labor gets its way there could be another public vote to potentially council the entire

thing just another day in the land of bragg's it. indian media indian media excuse me has reported a heavy exchange of fire between india and pakistan in disputed kashmir leaving at least five soldiers wounded al-jazeera goes on to say additionally that four civilians were killed including two children while seven people have been injured reports of multiple violations of the ceasefire 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 earth tried targeted the group of mohammad which struck a police convoy earlier this month killing at least forty officers. in india has been repeatedly urging pakistan to be 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 danger of a preemptive strike became absolutely necessary. well the strikes are the first across the defacto border since a war between the two countries broke out in one thousand nine hundred one pakistan condemned the incursion while the military rejected india's claims saying that no infrastructure was hit no casualties reported in pakistan jets forced the indian planes back down to their territory. the pakistani military also shared images of the alleged aftermath of the incident the foreign minister insists his country will respond. india has committed. all existing groups. this form at the time and believe the producer. right here is what experts in both india and pakistan have been telling us. argue sunny's going to be nigh that india

succeeded militarily because that would be a huge blow to derail 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 we made a point that terrorism will not go unanswered and that's why you want to see these contrasting accounts that i think the situation is very clear. all the scene where this indian plane had hit it was empty land it was a lot because of the shift of the four bombs that did go up there was a nearby mud the rolling and i think that the cats have a good one person was injured and that is all what has happened there are no

funerals dead bodies but there is all but does affect their dead is a breach of pox on solving the people and pakistan has made it clear that they are going to get it back but in what manner that is the question or that is a guess by anybody. vietnam's capital is playing host to a second summit between the u.s. president and the north korean leader both donald trump and kim jong on arrives at a home noyo on tuesday it is hoped they can reach a compromise leading to the denuclearization of the korean peninsula as well as the lifting of crippling sanctions imposed on p.r. rep play video agency producer evangel sips us isn't only for us. and enthusiasm in hopefulness with second son but with. 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 mutual well north korea seems to be excited and a wonder after all historic by supporting it is all that's able to some media

reports even claim north korean leader kim 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 to home 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 washington in pyongyang so how do the other 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 the nobel price he said i have nominated you or we specially on 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 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 that advances complete to 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 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 like you west north korean summit site are absolutely impossible just two years ago maybe there is still a chance for a happy go collusion. the former u.s. envoy to the u.n. nikki haley has found a new job she has been nominated for a seat on the board of directors of boeing corporation this according to the company's c.e.o. haley is the perfect fit. and basta haywood brings to boeing in outstanding records of the chief mint and government industry partnership and successfully drive the

new economic prosperity for communities in america and around the world booming will benefit greatly from who brought perspectives and combine diplomat to government and business experience to help achieve the aspiration to be the best in aerospace and the global industrial champion and caylee was donald trump's ambassador to the u.n. until last december she stood out as a diplomat by promoting american foreign policy positions around the globe notably on syria where they will formally join the board of boeing in late april political commentator rockwell says her government contacts should come in handy. well i did maybe that she's going to. introduce them introduce the boeing lobbyist the people in the trouble ministration and my guess is that she wants to set up a new partner with my pump a oh let's say the the neo-con i'm sure she could get the appointment so that you know that kind of thing she can do i guess maybe they feel that's worth their pay

or has a good deal of money as a board member and i guess that's what she'll do so i think she adds nothing except i guess she can bring money to the military industrial complex i guess maybe she's got enough connections now three that she can bring more and more contracts human rights boeing which is already immensely rich from killing people and destroying cities and civilizations and maybe she's going to help them do more of that but it seems to me it may be just a p.c. kind of a thing i don't believe that she's actually going to be an effective even effective at bringing the more contracts so that's a good thing. the british police force has been found guilty of discrimination after it rejected an applicant who was a white heterosexual male cheshire police were in the middle of a diversity drive when it turned down twenty five year old matthew furlong who wanted to follow his father into the force. it is completely shocked at my confidence in the police force recruitment system had i lied on 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 that they are unaware of the tribunals decision and have agreed to review the results for a long lawyers say it is the first discrimination case of its kind in the u.k. we put this issue up for debate with stephen morris from the english democrats party and political and social commentator monsour. 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 characteristic 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 that him oh no no no no positive. results that let me off a little to discrimination no no no sorry steve stephen i'm sorry i'll correct you on a matter of fact and a matter of law having taken race discrimination cases although the wrong course of justice no offense to stephen but this is now i do it well i'm not sure tribune official. relations committee is going to do that as a try to your employment role as a trade union. but i don't use racism to. disappear when i use discriminate against . wrong is 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 faction that's just annoyed with related immigration agents do even when we look at positive action we're talking about underrepresented minorities whether they are black whether they're muslim jewish gay bisexual transgender all the people we need policies which are in society and absolutely you are right and the appropriate trouble potentially is right and it's binding if they have treated him less badly but for his sex nor to doing this to our families. he was right it was in question he was saying if he 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'd been more likely to got a job i agree we cannot discriminate even against which is wrong be sure you know should heterosexual men it's all about freedom of choice if people do not want to go join the police then fine but find out the reasons why it's not purely down to the recruitment process the. people from the pain groups or the gay groups.

british labor party leader jeremy corbyn is facing another wave of scrutiny the mail on sunday newspaper claims his close adviser seamus milne 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 the story particularly emphasises that he chaired a conference in russia in two thousand and fourteen which was attended by vladimir putin the paper also quoted a former british intelligence chief dearlove as saying corbin would have to drop his closest aide if he does become 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 he 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 session of the vald 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 germany 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 i'm a six brought down the first labor prime minister rahm's in mcdonald with the fake xanadu the now one hundred years later almost they're trying to pick the next one. i'll be back in thirty minutes. if. if. people. thank. you thank you.
