take it out of. the way. and i've got international in the headlines this morning amid rising tensions at the venezuelan colombia border the crisis reaches the u.n. security council now. we ask that others join us in sanctioning those who've been involved in the violence over the last week and instead 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 the big stories are on this warning this too early anticipated second summit between donald trump and the north korean leader kim jong un is set to get underway in vietnam. plus

a british police force is found guilty of discrimination in the first year after it has rejected of white heterosexual male applicant. wednesday the twenty seventh of february welcome i'm kevin and be good morning for me and the rest of the international in moscow a busy news day as mentioned and so first this violence has flared again at the venezuela colombia border over the blockade of that humanitarian aid venezuela's government says it's taking preventative action against what it fears is foreign intervention.

well the term more than venezuela is pretty heightened by a debate over whether or not to allow u.s. aid into the country truckloads of supplies have been amassed on the borders with colombia and brazil as for his part president would do oh he's still blocking these deliveries fearing the vehicles could be carrying weapons other developments to tell you about regarding this story the u.n. security council met in new york to discuss the situation in venezuela. let's call a spade a spade we have served our london and washington are blatantly rubbing is suffering kind of trying to bring it to poverty in order to act within the framework of the concept of humanitarian intervention which is unrecognized by international laws to change them desirable regime there we are here today because of the de facto madeira regimes refusal to allow humanitarian aid to enter venezuela on february twenty third which led to deaths injuries and violence on two international borders

those actions once again showed the true intentions and nature of the girl regime instead of a hypocritical attempt to introduce assistance for twenty million dollars it is necessary to live the block in accounts of venezuelan state owned enterprises and american banks which totals eleven billion dollars and his cronies and some in this body claim that delivering humanitarian assistance is a political show and a cover for military intervention. but it is very clear only the madeira regime is using violence only the regime has called in both its security forces and armed gangs. it is now perfectly clear that washington so aims was not resolving the problems of venezuela you know caring for its people but for regime change including threats to do so by military. well i'm speaking about how from washington

there is a. previously served under ronald reagan and george w. bush abrams was twice convicted of unlawfully withholding information from congress over the covert sale of weapons to iran to fund nicaraguan rebels back of the one nine hundred eighty s. and the issue of using humanitarian aid to provide weapons was brought up at a un security council meeting by venezuela's foreign minister george are in sad to say. 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 there was a quick one for barricades there was nails. this is what was in the truck nails wire when security forces inspected this is what they found what we have information from friendly countries like cuba russian weapons are being bought in eastern europe to be given to the opposition with the aim of seizing an armed intervention in venezuela and the u.s. has a history of using humanitarian aid ordnance various purposes so that can't be discounted

and more than that i mean we don't need to sort of parse tealeaves 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 matter 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 the u.s. is engaged in oil sanctions against venezuela which is by far and away the main source of revenue for the entire country that's going to cost the government billions and billions of dollars and could easily lead to a famine so then turning around and offering suppose a humanitarian aid is the essence of hypocrisy you heard us. elsewhere this morning donald trump kim jong il of north korea are in vietnam's capital hanoi for a highly anticipated summit it's hoped they can reach a compromise on the denuclearization of the korean peninsula as well as the lifting

of crippling sanctions imposed on pyongyang evangelos sepsis is in hanoi for us. and susie i was in hopefulness with second but with kim jong un on the horizon trump feels like he's 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 but are the feelings mutual were north korea seems to be excited and no wonder after all i saw workplace opportunity is on the table 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 that whole life still considering criticism donald trump face over the summit from opposition at home north korea through its own state media war and the skeptics to not let this is sturrock opportunity be shattered but the summit does not only concern just washington and pyongyang so how do the other regional neighbors feeling about it. despite the fact japan's also

over north korean test missiles flying over it 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 a nobel price he said i have nominated you or respect me in behalf of japan. i am asking them to give you the nobel peace price that they'd knock over a wall for the opposition especially after prime minister's office refused to comment on the allegations abduction new quinn sort 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 koreans president just like his ally in washington that has also said that he is expecting great things coming out of the summit. 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 mood might come out as the biggest winner of these talks and in a way it seems that he's 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 the idea of a good west north korean summit saturday absolutely possible just two years ago maybe there's still a chance for

a happy conclusion but more coverage coming from that later on. dot com take you now live to san the chinese town of where the foreign ministers of russia india and china are holding a joint news briefing wide range of international issues are on the table one of the is the crisis in venezuela a second love rauf is due to speak very shortly i go to our correspondents there as well maybe asking a salient question about venezuela let's just dip in for a second have a listen i'm not even sure of this is translated at the moment but certainly when love comes on if it's translatable go to it. the old face is. that this may be so not only. india russia and china should develop a strategy the entire world should matter to them and today we agreed to include this issue in our joint communique. and make it only the fact that we.

came to an understanding in our shared opinion that. the u.n. should play an important role in fighting terrorism but i like many. and as for. kashmir. we discussed this issue. during our meeting with minister one. now a question for mr lavrov. the what is in the nose of a good afternoon my name is celebratory and career presenting r t mr lavrov. and the russia's security council announced that we. deploring special forces and the quitman to the neighboring states neighboring to going as well and i would like to ask you what steps does russia take or will be taken

because according to the security council's information and military intervention as a looming so can you please comment on washington's reaction to the warnings we should by moscow that military interference. should not take place and i would like to also ask your article counterparts to comment on this and one more question if i may several times you mentioned the informal meeting of the leaders in argentina it is the rule of yours to meet in the form that joy to form and maybe there may come a time when there will be another rule in place to have a trilateral leaders' meeting or maybe meeting throttle meeting of the security defense ministers well as for the second part of your question we have already should all the necessary information we have agreed to discuss well it is possible

to have a trilateral form of talks between the defense minister says we agreed to recover man to our leaders that we hold another informal summit on the sidelines for the one of the international conferences which would involve all the three leaders that's what the situation in venezuela we follow it closely listening to every piece of news. we see what is happening. we see more and more outrageous attempts to create. for military intervention we hear the direct threats coming from washington which says that all oceans are on the table and we see the material evidence for of these frat the u.s. is deploying military equipment and special forces closer to venezuela the same time. we see the ongoing provocations to. forcefully breach the border allegedly with the help of trucks carrying

humanitarian aid and we all know what kind of scenario will be put in place there will be much. complaining and then military intervention would happen we are actively engaged with every stakeholder concerned about the possible military solution and this is not for nothing that brazil has announced that is not to go into participate and this is not going to give it steroids free and or facilities to be used by the us for a military intervention as for colombia i haven't heard anything but i do know that not a single less an american country even the members of the so-called lima group who are actively supporting the idea of holding. extraordinary election in venezuela who support the white girl. none of them i haven't heard about

eighteen. because of them supporting the idea of a military intervention. so i believe that the united states should really tuned in to the opinions of the countries of that region first and foremost to what we recommend is that we should focus on the ideas which are included in the montevideo conies and formulated by mexico all. the caribbean community members it's holding in all national dialogue which would involve all political forces president maduro has many times said that he's ready for such a dialogue but unfortunately. he's. found her eyes are refusing to have that kind of meeting and the only thing they want they demand is to order early election of the country another law ming. at the same term here is that.

washington. publicly announces for. its officials that the duras days are numbered and that i will go to. washington says there are two that nicaragua and cuba are to be the next the monroe doctrine which says that the u.s. should not let anyone come to that and america is paling in the face of this doctrine we see formulating today essentially the u.s. is those serving the right to use force whenever and wherever the. americans while and in order to adopt all the regimes they do not like. this way the u.s. is our demand in the international law because there is no doubt about that and the u.s. is actively working to substitute the international law was that rule based world order so it's anyone's guess what kind of rules the u.s.

. has in store for latin america i sincerely hope that every stakeholder every country who are deeply committed to the u.n. charter will raise their voices against their you search so we need a all national inclusive dialogue in venezuela and in his role in problems should be solved only on the basis of the un charter the sovereignty of countries the principles of tutorial integrity and noninterference in the domestic affairs of a nation all that is included in this most important. international documented there's no clean siddons than what we today demanded that this problem should be resolved through the un charter and the un charter should be uphold it by everyone including the united states. so

on another question to mr romney. please. you know why don't you feel what i want to thank you very much. my question goes to mr romney. we are to see the second summit in hanoi between the leaders of the united sates and without which is where you show you we are right on how can you comment on that. well yes. this is of interest to everyone but first i'd like to answer the question that was posed to mr lover of which i'd like to say once again that we are against terrorism in all its forms. and i also like to say that facts also supports fighting terrorism

and as for the kashmir incident. could we be you sure are very glad that. pakistani counterparts decided. to refrain from escalating this issue to you and. really to the china hopes that there would be an investigation and dialogue in order to ensure peace and stability in the region. china plays a constructive role. of yours or should on this one for you as for venezuela. minister loughborough of gave you all the information we discussed this during our meeting and our stances will be reflected in our joint

communique. we do know that. venezuela before condemning israel as problems are domestic in nature. and who did. they should be a result of the based on the country's constitution and law and including all their political force service. cush who wishes joe ginge everyone. in this situation for to be shared refrain from interfering in venezuela as domestic affairs or to shoot you what you're going to do and we really should stand against using military force and should the u.n. charter which aren't suppose in the u.n. charter the. bush book which. she says would allow

us to maintain peace and stability you know and this is the toilet in the main. guarantee. of sovereignty and territorial. integrity of any country and as for the some exit between the u.s. and north korea should well the. all the world's all the i's in the world over. to it two hundred. billion dollars. we believe that any me so angry with between the u.s. and north korea. from drugs should be a new starting point to resolve the issues in the north korea and north korea truth of the when we were. going to dine with him it was a sort of double freeze and now we have hope for peace in the korean peninsula. and. upcoming summit would. uphold the

positive development and facilitates progress. and creation of peace mechanisms in the korean peninsula. we believe that if you pour in the effort any hard task. you will be able to complete. well there's your own comments on. shit shit shit. the only way of resolving this is political dialogue and consultations. and we need to make taps. or we thought we'd bring you that live media conference there from the john eterna rouge and the foreign ministers of russia india and china are all there you just saw the chinese mr wang either chinese foreign minister talking about the big

stories of the day pakistan india that standoff saying he's glad that people are holding back at the moment and he's talking for dialogue same kind of thing with venezuela as well echoing what sergey lavrov had to say that this is an internal matter regarding venezuela again talking for a dialogue also talks about the big summit today the north korea u.s. summit and hoping that it'll be a new starting point as he put it as for surrogate lover off basically he was saying if you just tuned into the end of that russia's following very closely very seriously what's happening there he said russia is actively engaged in every step with every stakeholder about possible military solution they said it's not for nothing that brazil is announce for one that it will help the u.s. to take part in it saudi says no one supports the idea of a military intervention and the u.s. should choose in into the opinion of leaders of south american nations so a snapshot of the big stories today as seen by the foreign ministers of those three countries and their latest thoughts on it we'll be following them as well we've got

a lot of big news stories coming up today let's continue with this one next editorial policies of social media outlets as being a free to question again after a number of sites of action taken against them in the most recent example you tube stopped adverts on anti vaccination sites saying it violates its policies. takes up the story. if you're a social media major and this potentially dangerous content on your site what do you do take it down if you you cheap you just cut off the ad revenue we have strict policies that govern what videos will allow ads to appear on and videos that promote anti-vaccination content have been and remain a violation of our longstanding harmful or dangerous advertising policy the move came after the controversial topic caught the attention of the top democrats consent about the spread of misinformation on pap forms owned by google and facebook as a member of congress who is deeply concerned about declining vaccination rates i am

requesting additional information on the steps that you currently take to provide medically accurate information on vaccinations to your users and to encourage you to and consider additional steps that you can take to address this growing problem but hold on so the videos have stopped raking in money from abs but the content is still there and famous faces in the past have given the ideas legitimacy says a lot of things that are not said so people can go to a certain type of shot and the they can die from it you know even penicillin so why should that be a vaccine. when it comes to social media editorial policies half hearted measures appear to be a staple take twitter where verification is a symbol of authenticity twitter has removed the coveted blue tick from the accounts of people like white nationalist richard spencer but he can still tweet whenever he likes and the punishment is especially questionable since being able to

apply for verification is currently suspended banning pages on facebook that requires no one size fits all policy after c.n.n. published a piece about pages with links to r.t. all based on a tip from the partially u.s. funded german marshall fund the pages were brought to ten days but have now been reinstated after more than a week things because republished in the knowledge with speeches we had to disclose are fondant which is prime we hope for his book war as this requirement to all of those otherwise there will be scenes of in our hearts which would be wrong and discriminatory keep on the pressure on the pressure is on facebook has a lot of work to do if it wants to apply the same rules to everyone so here's a helping hand a.j. plus funded by the qatari government radio free europe funded by the us government deutsch a valet news funded by the german government and that's just for starters it appears the social media race towards

a piece in companies politicians and activists is like taking a stab in the dark and hits and many misses. just let you know if you want to get the whole we're going to for our views because of the media conference we brought you just know from china this is our next story a british police force has been found guilty of discrimination after rejecting a good who is a white heterosexual male police through the middle of a diversity driver the time when it turned twenty five year old matthew for a long parley who wanted to follow his father into the force. it is my confidence in the police force recruitment system how do i do 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 lie. should police say they are aware of the tribunal's decision and they say they have agreed to review the results furlongs lawyers say it's the first discrimination case of its kind in the u.k. we've put this issue up for debate with stephen morris from these democrats party

and political and social commentator well. 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 for 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 stephen 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 are in mono not a positive is racially such that let me off in order 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 to the royal courts of justice no offense to stephen but this is now i do it well i'm not sure tribune official i do with race relations cases. as a try to your employment role as a trade union. well i don't use racism the positive hollywood discriminate you discriminate against. wrong it's 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 annoying word for blatant racism and even steven 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 fair in society and absolutely you are right and the employment trouble potentially is right and it's finding if they have treated him less badly but for his sex nor to doing this to actually say it was right in their eyes in question he was saying if he was here well let's see i mean appeal to

things happened but at the minute the filing 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 wrong be sure you know should heterosexual men it's all about freedom of choice if people do not want to go to join 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 are not at all in moscow time much more ahead this wednesday for including a top aide to the leader of the labor party in the u.k. under scrutiny over alleged ties to russia and terrorist groups in the middle east details and more when we come back then. max geysers financial survival guide. housing bubble. oh you mean there's a downside artificial mortgage truth don't get carried away that's cause report.
