we know. that. just aren't up to us still don't know what's waiting for them. but. we do have a lucky. break it out of. them the way. pakistan says it shot down two indian air force jets over disputed kashmir capturing one pilot. made rising tensions at the venezuela colombia border the crisis reaches the u.n. security council now. and his cronies and some in this body claim that delivering humanitarian assistance is

a political show all right let's call a spade a spade washington so aids is not resolving the problems of venezuela the vote for regime change was a highly anticipated second summit between donald trump and north korean leader kim jong ordinary said to get under way in vietnam. plus two we'll tell you about a lot more case in britain british police found guilty of discrimination after one of force rejected a white heterosexual male applicant. other eleven am wednesday morning the twenty seventh of february money was kevin over good morning from the rest of the team you're about international busy world news day shaping up breaking news to tell you about again this pakistan claiming it shot down two indian air force jet. it's in its airspace over kashmir capturing one

pilot this day after india said it had conducted an air strike on a training camp belonging to kashmir based terror group what you can see here the pictures coming up next the area allegedly hit by that strike yesterday india's foreign secretary saying that the attack targeted to jaish e mohammad group which has struck a police convoy earlier this month killing at least forty officers it's been the conflict point for this latest conflict the catholics for it rather than condemned the incursion while the military rejected india's claims saying no infrastructure was it no casualties reported and pakistani jets force the indian planes back down to their territory with a lot more to come on that throughout the day for you. but another story we're tracking next venezuela has violence that has flared on the border of colombia over the blockade of humanitarian aid that is where the government says it's taking preventative action against foreign intervention.

because. truckloads of this aid been amassed on the border with colombia president duros blocked the deliveries fearing the vehicles that could be carrying weapons the situation spotfire a discussion of the un security council meeting. but 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 the united states and the international community must support the venezuelan people as they strive to reclaim their devolved prosy 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 the undesirable 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 about of washington there is elliott abrams he previously served under ronald reagan and george w. bush abrams was twice convicted part of history here of unlawfully withholding information from congress over the covert sale of weapons to iran to fund nicaraguan rebels back in the nineteen eighties and the issue of using humanitarian aid to provide weapons was brought up at a security council meeting but as well as foreign minister here's what george 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 there was a quick one for bury case 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 and russia that weapons are being bought in eastern europe to be given to the opposition with the aim of seizing an armed intervention in venezuela meanwhile the foreign ministers of russia india and china earlier held a joint news briefing or among other issues they to discuss the crisis in venezuela and trunk has got the background for that. whatever someone important in the west behind him as well as self-proclaimed leader one tries to give you an impression the whole world is supporting him you should remember these three countries two prominent members of the un security council and another agent or 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 these are putting your. attempts to artificially create a pretext for military intervention but it leaves us is assuming the right to use force wherever it wants to talk all regimes that which for whatever reason this satisfies them the us is trying to substitute international law with those rules so rich your own conclusions which rules have the americans prepared for the latin american region. often israel as problems are purely domestic in nature and this should be resold based on the country's constitution and law everyone should refrain from interfering in domestic affairs should.

when it comes to important finn as well as neighbors believes that they should follow the example and approach of russia india and china and he believes some countries have already done so which are the little girls brazil has announced is not going to participate provide its territory for american aggression towards venezuela not from a single wants an american country including members of the group of i heard words of support for 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. . donald trump and kim jong north korea and vietnam as capital one noise 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 first off evangelos sips in hanoi for

us today. and susie essman 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 all that's able some media reports even claim north korean leader kim jong un 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 their 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 and 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 all. several 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 price 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 they'd knock over a wall for the opposition especially after prime minister's office refused to comment on the allegations abduction nuclear and sort to mid range missile issues not to solved 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 philip vance's 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 it's a 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 by trail to be a very tough challenge for everyone involved in the situation but considering that the idea of like the west north korean summit saturday absolutely possible just two years ago maybe there's still a chance for a happy conclusion. noir story no from britain the british police force guilty of

discrimination rejected who is a white heterosexual male apparently let me tell you more that's a decision reached by an employment tribunal in the northwest of england cheshire police were in the middle of a diversity drive when they turned twenty five year old matthew furlong who wanted to follow in his father's footsteps he was already in the force. it is completely sutta to 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 a lie cheshire police say they are aware of the tribunal's decision and they've agreed to review the results matthew's lawyer says it's the first discrimination case of its kind of the u.k. put the issue up for debate with stephen morris from the english democrats party and political and social commentator well and. 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 immoral no no no no positive. let me off it was. 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 it's the wrong course of justice no offense to stephen but this is now i do it well you know

official. relations committees on the. employment role as a trade union. don't use racism to. discriminate you discriminate against. these races and 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 related immigration and stephen 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 trouble potentially is right and it's finding if they have treated him less badly but for his sex nor to doing this to. him that i 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 right. yes and it had been bisexual he'd been in he'd been more like to got

a job i agree we cannot discriminate even against which is wrong be sure i mean i should have to say 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 that. people from the pain groups or the gay groups the conversation went on let's get some conversation on what's been happening between pakistan and india and the breaking news is our eggs in the red ticker on the screen pakistan the latest is claims it shot down two indian air force jets in its airspace over kashmir capturing one pilot let's cross to seoul to mahfood hollywood group commander of the pakistani air force sir thank you for your time today being with us this goes beyond the regional issue because both pakistan and india of course are nuclear powers the world is looking on with much caution and interest how dangerous is this flare up and is a bit of a delay on the line. it

is unfortunate that this kind of escalation has taken place because what happened. in indian occupied kashmir on the fourteenth of february was a very unfortunate individual believe more than forty. of the indian army they lost their lives following that india was blaming pakistan for it to which our prime minister responded by saying that if you have actionable intelligence please share it with us and we will take action unfortunately there was a surgical strike i did out in the wee hours of yesterday morning in which probably a dozen men arrived two thousand aircraft and iterated violated the pakistani airspace and they drop their bombs and there some other munition. an air force retaliated this morning and while the indian air force tried to. enter our. space two of them were shot down one pilot was killed two have now been captured

initially there was a report of one indian pilot now there are two of them as a military and custody as a military expert is coming back to your question how serious it is. what you are as a as a military expert how serious is this. going to come down. i would actually hope. they have a military background i'm from the pakistan air force but i would like to see peace in the region because both india and pakistan as you pointed out in your opening comments are nuclear weapons equipped and we do not want this to escalate to a mutually assured destruction because that is what will happen it will a lot remain a tit for tat action it will definitely escalate into a full scale of all where it will be no holds barred but you see india took an action yesterday and pakistan are going to action today in retaliation and shut down of the aircraft i'm hoping that we let it go at that and we sit down and talk

to each other and if india has actionable intelligence ah prime minister has a cure he will take different action this is a new government in pakistan which is very serious and it knows that it's on development plans will be totally you see. a lot of years later playing for aussie fruition if we have tension in the region. that this is hugely hugely grim this predicament you're making you saying that it could very well lead to some sort of nuclear conflagration and you of course are money of you is a retired group commander of the pakistani air force your mother knows what you're talking about here how could it really escalate from what we're seeing at the moment to some sort of nuclear conflict which we're saying well you're saying yourself would lead to mutual destruction on both sides the world surely is not on the brink of that is it any time soon.

i'm afraid you see india is the superior power its armed forces are three times the size of pakistan its. economy is much broader it can sustain a lot of hits being the vicar country will be on the receiving end but having said that you should not because russia is itself a nuclear power and whereas you want to show maturity you want to show restraint but if you are pushed against the wall and if push comes to shove then back started it would be forced to retaliate with nuclear weapons which would of course. lead to a very serious destruction in the region but i am hoping his and holding point when you say where really hopefully is a terrorist lot of when you last year india and pakistan like russia coming. absolutely it should be kept as a doctor and never be brought out of the closet but. let us hope that the situation

doesn't come to that unfortunately but once you have this kind of weapons on both sides and if there is a desperate situation then desperate situation unfortunately will lead to desperate measures while most open city doesn't care about thank you so much for being on the line with this. group commander of the pakistani air force. no more they seem to knew more the day's news continues here not international the breaks nineteen past eleven but a quick look ahead to the program we got lined up for you today every year hundreds of children in the poverty stricken philippines are sold off by their families to traffickers many end up in the hands of the are you still affiliated groups with a groom to fight and kill a tease followed the plight of filipino child soldiers in our latest documentary for you called crisis childhood. all my own are sixteen months honestly did you know me.

nothing of either. king or. just foreign. isis fighters and boarding a philippine naval ship. but not for me ned. just aren't abdulla still don't know what's waiting for them to my next. step. was how to pick it out of.

the. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. i think it's gone into a nihilistic theme. i think. and get out. the traveling across america what makes america the charlotte. this is a point which olive garden so we always are just some. we're

starting last with is going to headed east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the b. i think i want to leave now doesn't get any more. you may be completely different. again good morning from moscow chicago's chief of police is lashed out at just the some a let the former star of the t.v. show accuse a staging an attack against himself eddie johnson says he doesn't want the case to overshadow the improvements that have been made to the city adding this is personally said he also promises more evidence that he's guilty of a criminal act meantime the media continues discussing the story looks at how they're covering the case. the police seem pretty sure that just the small at the

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 and matter what kind of attack or crime it was because who if it reduces in the. horrible term porn this is america twenty nineteen 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 children in cages and blaming it squarely on donald trump trump administration

officials have been sending babies and other young children. when it turns out that a similar policy was in place when barack obama was in command to at least three three tender age shelters in south texas wars and medical providers because. do you remember the shell shocked boy from aleppo the media went into an overdrive fitting this heart wrenching image into their anti russian narrative what 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 but why bother fact checking when crying is much more effective 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 just the small at case it's a little bit trickier than r.t. new york who was street journal correspondent laurie thinks the discourse in the role of those kids have transformed greatly not for the best. what has happened is what that film network predicted that the the anchor or the presenter becomes the story they have their own show now they're paid nowness 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 tain 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 to produce is on t.v. networks to do real reported and the journal 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 that there is no more real television news unfortunately it's very sad to say. the argument goes on the editorial policies of social media outlets we put a question again for a number of sites of action taken against them in the most recent example you choose stop abbots on anti vaccination sites saying it violates his policies and his knee she said think 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 ads but the content is still there and famous faces in the past have given the ideas legitimacy there's 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 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 fine we hope for his book why is this requirement to all our clothes otherwise there will be single in our hearts 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 qatari government radio free europe funded by the us government to achieve l a new funded by the german government and that's just for starters it appears the social media race towards the pacing companies politicians and activists is like taking a stab in the dark and hits and many misses so issues going on today follow the kim jong un meeting will be sitting over dinner i'm sure the soon to the meeting follow what's happening in venezuela on the border that follow the latest flare up between india and pakistan i can tell there's been a bit of an exhibit on a spokesman for pakistan says one of the indian one of the two indian air force jets this morning that was short one can do it in pakistani territory to have been

arrested so the situation continues to get more and more heated r.t. dot com as we were for all those stories muslims kovan zero in on but with more than half an hour right now around the world your next programs are lined up on air . please. this is boom bust broadcasting around the world and covering the world of business and finance and the impact on all of us i'm bart chilton in washington welcome aboard we are glad to have you. coming up today big former chief executive officer is one capitol hill here in
