i meet rising tensions at the venezuela colombia border the crisis reaches the u.n. security council map. and his cronies and some in this body claim that delivering humanitarian assistance is a political show let's call a spade a spade washington so aids was not resolving the problems of venezuela but for regime change. also the headlines this morning to a highly anticipated second summit between donald trump and the korean leader kim jong un is set to get under way in vietnam all eyes on that we're covering it of course. case british police force is found guilty of

discrimination after it rejected a white heterosexual male applicant. nine am wednesday the twenty seventh of february warm welcome for me kevin and big good morning to you for me and the rest the team here out international moscow today busy news day this first violence has flared again venezuela colombia border over the blockade ongoing of humanitarian aid venezuela's government says it's taking what it's calling preventative action against foreign intervention.

truckloads of that aid have been amassed on the borders now with colombia and also brazil pirate lee of overbuilding doesn't want to get that involved all accounts according to russia's foreign minister president maduro has blocked the deliveries fearing the deliveries in the vehicles they could be carrying weapons the situation sparked a fiery discussion at the u.n. security council. it is no perfectly clear that washington's sole aims was not resolving the problems of venezuela not caring for its people but for regime change including threats to do so by military intervention but the united states and the international community must support the venezuelan people as they strive to reclaim their de vocht recy right let's call a spade a spade we have served our london and washington are blatantly robbing a sovereign country trying to bring it to poverty in order to act within the

framework of the concept of humanitarian intervention which isn't recognized by international law to change them desirable regime there and his cronies and some in this body claim that delivering humanitarian assistance is a political show and the 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 the man speaking on behalf of washington there got called elliot abrams he previously served under ronald reagan and george w. bush was twice convicted of unlawfully withholding information from congress over the covert sale of weapons to iran to fund nicaraguan rebels in the one nine hundred eighty s. and the issue of using humanitarian aid to provide weapons was brought up indeed at the un security council meeting by venezuela's foreign minister is what you are as

i had to say. 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 there was a quip and for barricades there was nails. this is what was in the truck nails wire when security forces inspected this is what they found we have information from friendly countries like cuba russia that weapons are being bought in eastern europe to be given to the opposition with the aim of staging an armed intervention in venezuela well one of the subjects that were covered lost by foreign ministers of russia india and china we bought it she live there was a joint news briefing where among other issues they discussed what was going on in venezuela and their fears. whenever someone important in the west behind when is was self proclaimed leader one twice to give you an impression the whole world is supporting him you should remember these three countries two permanent members of the un security council and another agent are actually global

powerhouse india for them nothing has changed for them the elected government of nicolas maduro is still the legitimate power in venezuela so while the top diplomats of russia india and china are together and the chinese city of jenin i couldn't miss the opportunity to ask them for an update on their take on the latest stage of the crisis essentially the us is in the right to use force whenever and wherever the. americans one in order to topple the regimes if they do not like. problems are domestic in nature. and good. they should be the result of based on the country's constitution and law and including all their political forces when it comes to work in this world. that he should call the approach of russia india and china and he believes

some countries have already done so brazil has announced that this is not to go into participate and this is not going to give it steroids three. or facilities to be used by the us forward 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 group who are actively supporting the idea of holding your extraordinary election in venezuela who support why you do with nine of them i haven't heard about eighteen. all of them supporting the idea of a military intervention so it looks like we'll keep hearing a strong united voice from moscow new delhi and beijing when it comes to venezuela both when the officials come together and talk and also when their diplomats make

it work at the u.n. . you know the big story today debrief donald trump and kim jong un of north korea are in vietnam's capital hanoi right now for a highly anticipated summit it's hoped they can reach a compromise maybe on the denuclearization of the korean peninsula as well as the lifting of crippling sanctions imposed on pyongyang evangelos in hanoi reporting for us next. enthusiasm in hopefulness with second summit with kim jong un on the horizon trump feels like he's on top of the world i do 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 we're north korea seems to be excited and no wonder after all i still workplace opportunity is on the table some media reports even claim north korean leader kim said this to us top diplomat mike. i'm a father and husband and i have children and i don't want my children to carry the nuclear weapon on that back their whole life still considering criticism donald

trump face over the summit from opposition at home north korea through its own state media war in the skeptics to not let this is a story copper to maybe 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 a north korean test missiles flying over it was the concern over the outcome of the talks after all if a deal is struck it's unclear whether japan's concerns will be addressed what made the situation worse with the allegations that japanese prime minister abby officially requested for trump to be nominated for the nobel peace price in fact i think i can say this prime minister robbie of japan gave me the most beautiful. copy of a letter that he sent to the people who give out a thing called a nobel price he said i have nominated you or respectfully in behalf of japan

i am asking them to give you the nobel peace price that that knock over will for the opposition especially after prime minister's office refused to comment on the allegations abduction new quinn sought to mid range missile issues not resulted 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 again just like his ally in washington that has also said that he is expecting great things coming out of the summit. i expected to be a turning point this advances complete to 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 it's 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 trail to be a very tough challenge for everyone involved in the situation but considering that the idea of i.q.'s north korean summits other. just two years ago maybe there's still a chance for a happy conclusion from two sepsis in her noise political analyst george mcleod still rather skeptical about this summit though despite the good relations on the face of it in front of cameras anywhere between trump and kim. i think the personal relationship between those two is fine and i think you know donald trump. seems to like strongman political figures like kim jong un and i don't and i think that's fine but you know the reality is you know you have on one side what donald trump says and what he believes and then on the other side what actually happens i mean we've had. situations where donald trump has for example with nafta he made very

you know boisterous statements about. going after canada in those negotiations and then the reality has been much more subdued i'm so with this i think you know even though the personal relationship between those two is quite strong i don't expect that really going to change the overall trajectory of relations between those two countries. yet it sort of policies the social media outlets have put into question big time again after a number of sides action taken against them in the most recent example. and see vaccination site saying it violates its policies takes up the story this morning. 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 a top democrat 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 ads 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 even penicillin so why should there 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 the punishment is especially questionable since being able to apply for verification is currently suspended pending pages on facebook that requires no one size fits all policy off to 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 was we had to disclose our fondant which is fine we hope for his book more as this requirement to all of those otherwise there will be single in our terms which would be wrong and discriminatory keep out of 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 khatami government radio free europe funded by the us government to achieve l.a. new funded by the german government and that's just the start as it appears the social media race towards a pacing companies politicians and activists is like taking a stab in the dark and hits and many missus. a british police force has been found guilty of discrimination after it rejected an applicant who is a white heterosexual male cheshire police are in the middle of a diversity drive at the time when it turned down twenty five year old matthew furlong who wanted to fire follow his father into the force apparently. it is completely started 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

a lie. well cheshire police say they're aware of the tribunal suspicion and they've agreed to review the results furlongs lawyers say it's the first discrimination case of its kind in the u.k. you put this issue up for debate with stephen morris from the english democrats party and political and social commentator mo answer. 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 stephen and the others who might think like them 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 immoral no no no no positive is racially such that let me all feel that it doesn't use 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 one how do you know which race relations cases on a daily basis as a try. do you know employment law as a trade union. where i don't use racism to look at positive about it discriminate you discriminate against somebody who don't let it all 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 action that's just annoyed with a blatant racism and even steven hayes 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 binding 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 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 in he'd 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 and the conversation went on but it's present nine seventeen moscow time this wednesday morning warm welcome to you if you just joined us as head of the news a top aide to the leader of the labor party in the u.k. is under scrutiny over alleged ties to russia and terrorist groups in the middle east just one of the stories we're across when we come back.

i think the number. they matter to us is over one trillion dollars of debt more than ten white collar crime families. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be rich eight percent world market thirty percent some with one hundred to five hundred per second per second and when he rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers over. the only number you need to remember one one

business you know for a minute the one and only boom but. morning chicago chief of police has lashed out it's just the small let the former star of the t.v. show who's accused of staging an attack against himself he says he doesn't want the case to overshadow improvements that have been made in the city i think this is personal mr jones some promise is more evidence that small that is guilty of a criminal act meantime the media continues discussing the story caleb maupin looks at how they're covering the case. the police seem pretty sure that just the small that faked a hate crime against himself now his career is on the rocks and the reaction of the

public has gone from in some cases disappointment and in other cases outright disgust but there's another scandal here how the media reacted to his claims to trump supporters just go hunting for black gay film stars on the streets of chicago in cold temperatures in late hours of the night well you would think that some journalists might question his rather fantastical claims but they didn't do that instead they let the emotions fly absolutely despicable danny this is a horrible story no matter what kind of attack or crime it was because of her if it reduced in the. horrible term porn this is america twenty nine teams now celebrities are prone to a little high profile virtues signaling but journalists are supposed to be held to higher standards do you remember when m s n b c s rachel maddow was sobbing over photographs of children in cages and blaming it squarely on donald trump when it turns out that a similar policy was in place when barack obama was in command trump administration

officials have been sending babies and other young children. to at least three three tender age shelters in south texas wars and medical providers because. do you remember the shell shocked a boy from aleppo the media went into an overdrive fitting this heart wrenching image into their anti russian narrative even though the actual facts told a different story but why bother fact checking when crying is much more effective but strikes me is we shed tears but there are no tears here he doesn't cry once the little boy is in total shock he's stunned this is oman he's alive. we wanted to know so what is all this virtue signalling actually trying to achieve well take it from one of the best in the business how do you know you're being lied to how do you know you're being manipulated how do you know there's something not

right with the coverage when they simplify it all and there's no gray we seem to be doing today is substituting. the law and the courts for trial by media so with this kind of atmosphere in the media and this level of discourse in american politics ensuring that justice stays blind when it comes to the justice mallette case gets a little bit trickier than r.t. new york. former wall street journal correspondent joe lauria thinks the discourse of the role of these news anchors a lot of transformed greatly over the years not for the best. what has happened is what that film network to addicted to the anchor or the presenter becomes the story they have their own show now they're paid homeless amounts of money millions and millions of dollars a year to be the face of the news and people are supposed to name because of the personality not the news and it's an chain meant show much more of a news and

a bunch of people just gabbing and they're wasting money on those hours and no longer paying for producers on t.v. networks to do real reported and the job and the people who are prisoners don't have a journalistic background like they did in the sixty's and seventy's they did not work at newspapers their actors their personalities they did look good and they could read off a teleprompter and it's in a go and there was people there who were discussing them it was just you know opinions so there is no more real television news unfortunately it's very sad to say. well we can argue that one old. british labor party leader jeremy corbett is facing another wave of scrutiny the mail on sunday newspaper claims his close advisers seamus milne is ties to russia as well as the palestinian militant group hamas in the article it's alleged that together with colvin milne travelled to the middle east to meet hamas leaders colby and say there's also accused of english not to the russian government the story of particular emphasizes that he chaired

a conference here in russia in twenty fourteen which was attended by vladimir putin further the paper also quoted two former british intelligence chiefs and richard deliver saying that kobe would have to drop his closest say 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 he's also a former columnist and says it has for for britain's guardian newspaper his father was the late alastair milne who is a former director general of the b.b.c. and he spoke to british m.p. george galloway who thinks that the timing of the accusations is not accidental. it's ridiculous but i'm afraid powerful the course in this boiling mass of hatred of russia that exists within the political and media and intelligence

class here in britain if mr deal love knows something the rest of us don't know why didn't he tell the editor of the guardian that it was employ as his associate editor a k.g.b. spy why didn't he tell the house of commons or thought it is when mr milne was appointed three years ago jeremy corbin's right hand man thus 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 ramsay mark donald with the figs and all the now one hundred years later almost they're trying to pick the next one . every year hundreds of children the poverty stricken philippines is sold off by the families to traffickers many end up in the hands of isis affiliated groups with a groom to fight and kill it's awful story artie's followed the plight of filipino child soldiers now latest documentary put together for you it's called crisis

childhood and it premiers here in just a few minutes time. my there for one hour six dimmable. just. isis fighters and now boarding a philippine naval ship. but not me ned. that. just aren't up to us still don't know what's waiting for them. this is what. we do have a lucky. break

it out. i am. it's really a program of premisses on a very shortly before we go to break and there are some breaking news coming in the indian air force jets of say they've intercepted at least three pakistani military jets after they apparently crossed into indian controlled airspace over that disputed kashmir area indian officials reporting in the last few minutes it comes a day after the indian air strike of course real tinderbox there the moment also wednesday an indian air force plane crashed in kashmir that killed two pilots and civilian local authorities reporting it is futile to the side it's not immediately clear if the incident was connected to the reported interception of pakistani planes but things really tense there between india and pakistan right now looking to you to follow it this is r.t. international.

the trumping ministrations attempts to impose regime change in venezuela appear to be faltering this self-proclaimed interim president. hasn't gain much traction this may explain the administration's escalating rhetoric after all we're told a military option is still on the table. you know world big part of the law and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other

it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. just foreign dubbed. isis fighters and boarding a philippine naval ship. if it got me or my americans. they doubt me and you know that i'm going. to.

pull my dope on our sixteen months honestly did you know and i look around me. so. keen to. know. if they're dead nuts not for nothing but. the love of a. kind.
