. general says she was. good morning eleven am friday march the first. venezuela is again top of the list of the headlines from us no end in sight political crisis as both russian and u.s. draft resolutions fail to pass the u.s. . by voting against this resolution some members of this council continue to shield the duro and his cronies and prolong the suffering of the venezuelan people the time for a peaceful transition to democracy is now they're going to use them with us mind we have reached the culmination of the american workers treated double standards show

over venezuela washington and london have both again robbed an entire nation of billions of dollars in the same time we're pushing them to accept a pittance due to regime change as they say you first of all we greet humanitarian problems and then you call upon the whole world to solve them we look forward to genuinely free and fair elections and to a government that reflects the will and aspirations of the venezuelan people. you have to do is vote is an excellent example of where the veto rule is necessary for protecting the peace and people's right to determine their future both the russian and the u.s. resolutions didn't pass the voting in the un security council the russian one got less votes in favor that against four in favor and seven against the us draft was vetoed by russia and china the russian ambassador said that if the u.s. resolution had passed it would be the first case in history that the united nations security council deposed a legitimate leader and imposed another one to a sovereign country the venezuelan representative spoke as well calling to stop

interfering into the matters of his country the power to this will has to do with having this one on slaughtering at the end of an assault on people they behave like colonial east they are planning a clandestine operation against it a sort of right out of the same kind of took it about what he thought and their force at the same time they are just stealing our money you see something outrageous indeed so the diplomatic community in the crossroads again the u.n. as thieves members who spoke after the voting called it to all of their colleagues to put their differences aside to resolve the venezuelan crisis reporting in new york treated each other as r.t. . betime hundreds of activists have rallied in the spanish capital madrid in support of venezuelan president a close mid-air ogata straightest shouting slogans and waved hands off venezuela banners they condemned what they see as an attempt by the united states to intervene in the country's internal affairs we discuss the division in international in the international community right now over what's happening in venezuela what do it with investigative journalists and revolve check. all the

international community of course is divided between those who are supporting the yet another coup or are what they call regime change are. those who are actually respecting the solar energy and independence of the gone through been as well or gone through which is a democratic state a congress i'm scared to sort of or many or governments are afraid actually to follow the same part with so if well you support russia and china obviously you are risking that or your regime but also going through she will be changed now on this very important china and russia are standing shoulder to shoulder the friendly going as well also we do have the international community are quite divided between the progressive nations and between the nations which will just either used to look forward and washington's dictate all of the or two or three to to actually

contradict one of the worst in general. but elections just months away canada's prime minister is facing calls to step down as a political scandals threatening to topple his government just into does been accused of leading a campaign of pressure against his former attorney general to prevent the prosecution of one of the country's biggest companies and cut a deal instead. i experienced a consistent and sustained effort by many people within the government to seek to politically interfere in an inappropriate effort to secure a deferred prosecution agreement with s. and c. level and the prime minister asked me to help out to find a solution here for s n c the scandal surrounds a canadian company just head of the which is one of the world's largest engineering construction firms in twenty fifteen it was charged with bribery and fraud over the payment of nearly one hundred million dollars in kick bugs to libyan officials the dealings allegedly involved family members of former leader moammar gadhafi they

were meant to secure contracts in the lucrative irrigation project just intuited to this day denies any inappropriate behavior insisting he was simply trying to save jobs i and my staff always acted appropriately and professionally we of course had discussions about the potential loss of nine thousand jobs in communities across the country including the possible impact on pensions former attorney general jody wilson raybold resigned over the affair citing the veiled threats allegedly leveled of a by the canadian prime minister's office to those principles cite free old so called it quits amid reports that more officials and ready to leave the administration to political analyst alexandra bruno explain to us why the case could indeed cost the prime minister his seat. it shows that the politics and interests do mix in canada as well as other places and this is the problem it's the image that the prime minister has built around himself or some people call it the

brand of a feminist alter a liberal ultra legal transparent leader who is completely tripping over his own ideals in ten months there will be an election in canada so no matter where this goes constitutional crisis a political crisis there will be a problem in the election and just into those leadership is definitely in question now the idea was that if since eleven and we face prosecution. it might have to move headquarters away from canada so also. since eleven is in a writing where trudeau is directly involved the more writings you win the more chances you have been in your knowledge it must have been very important for trudeau to have taken such really. mature measures and

he thought he could he could pressure his justice minister. in a bid to ease the humanitarian crisis in yemen the un has raised more than two and a half billion dollars at a high level pledging event in geneva but as well short still of the target some a four billion dollars needed to fulfill this year's a plan on top of that many of the donor countries it seems once linked to an almost four year old conflict with terrible consequences that either by fighting win or selling arms. don't know most twenty four million yemeni is in need of pain of some sort i don't

know if they haven't received salaries because they are sleeping hungry at night i flats children standing at old gas pipeline was telling me they go to sleep hungry every other day because they can't afford to have i mean every day they've been displaced much of the times they've lost their houses there is no safe place in yemen and does not have a need for hasn't been one way or another witness this war be it on the land the sea and air strikes artillery tank fire that is happening every day across yemen. they are just don't go in as they have been traditionally the ones most generous in funding and which are united for you but at the same time they are also the most active directory order and i think it's with the sales of weapons orders jumping on

one side if you want to see how many civilians so we're alerted calling for them and so their focus younger and uplifted the old school feeding was one hand the yemenis to keep them alive destroying their consulate the other why they just desperately need this day themselves not being to need for that face to the water to the fighting to the blockades o.p.m. that these weapons this fighting is having a direct impact on women shouldn't civilians who have obsoleted almost day and disconsolately. handed from the summit with north korea donald trump appears to be trying to save face making a surprise comment on syria. it seems the summit is not so optimistic as it was expected president said that the united states wanted more commitment from north korea an interview we gave after the summit he pointed out that he was talking about the complete denuclearization of

the korean peninsula while kim jong un was talking about only several places he also said that he didn't want to make concessions in lifting sanctions without a concrete plan however north korea said there was a realistic proposal on the table in a rare press conference late friday night here in hanoi north korea's foreign minister said that chairman kim offered a written commitment to no longer test long range missiles and to allow inspections in nuclear facilities at north korea but trump walked away and it didn't go that well back home he's facing criticism for the failure of the summit anyway no real deal so it seems like trump decided to make his way back home to washington a little less pessimistic he stopped in alaska and made an announcement we just took over you know you kept hearing it was ninety percent ninety two percent the caliphate in syria now it's one hundred percent we just took over one hundred percent caliphate that means the area of the land we just have one hundred percent

so that's good in a powerful speech he said that he the coalition forces have completely kicked out isis from syria but it contradicts the f. one of the u.s. allies the situation on the ground in december though president announce there will be a full draw of u.s. forces by spring however late in february washington said that it would maintain a peacekeeping group of four hundred soldiers which would be in syria for long term plan in the beginning of last month the president trumps that he would make a formal announcement to the american people declaring the complete control of isis territory in syria but he has not made that announcement yet. policy analyst believes the timing of the announcement wasn't coincidental. trump has got trying to show success. he and that i think was one of the considerations in the discussions in in vietnam war over over north korea missiles the reality

years is that trump is looking to make a deal and to show international success and to so that he can have something to come back to and to offset the turmoil the inter political turmoil he's facing back home but if we've taken over isis in syria then the question remains what about the troops u.s. troops who are there in syria what will happen with them those are questions that remain unanswered. harvard university in the u.s. is launching a probe of true graffiti attack on the campus call for one of its law professors to resign it came after faculty dean rival sullivan decided to join the legal team representing disgraced hollywood film producer harvey weinstein and this is seth is got at least on this one this morning. down with the dean that doesn't care these are just some of the angry slogans held by protesters on campus at harvard

university why the meeting me if meant it to me to me to me to be to me to be pulled. only this time the accused has not been inappropriate towards women the rights lie with disgraced movie mogul harvey weinstein who's assembled his legal dream team he can afford the best and that includes a top harvard law school professor ronald sullivan he's tried to explain the simple right to a fair trial but the students are having none of it it's particularly important for this category of unpopular defendant to receive the same process as everyone else perhaps even more important to the degree we deny unpopular defendants basic due process rights we cease to be the country we imagine ourselves to be he's got a point everyone accused of a crime is entitled to the best legal defense they can get even weinstein who isn't even the most notorious of sullivan's catalogue of controversial clients but some

students have to have taken the cue from what would you rather have a client who committed a crime in say or prohibitum these are the words that. i would rather have a client he's innocent that beam that is of outrage you have failed the black women in this community not only as one of the few black faculty deans on campus but also as a community leader someone who were inspected and looked to for guidance and even a petition online calling percent of and resignation with the escalation on campus of its administration and starting climate review of the house after which it promises appropriate action as dean of the college one of my highest priorities easter ensure that the support students receive for their is additional communities upholds institutional commitment to their wellbeing if a waltz plaudits an illegal winds are anything to go by sullivan's track record is

formidable but when you're signed up by an unpopular defendant like one stain even the best legal reputation can bite the dust in the unforgiving court of public opinion i think it just goes to show the downfall in the trajectory of top american law schools yes everybody has a right to legal defense but not really everybody in america this is the precedent that's being set only some people have a right to a legal defense only some people have the right to an attorney only some people have the right to representation and that's the precedent that we're seeing be set by these activist organizations is that if you don't agree with me if you don't do something that i like yes harvey weinstein's crimes are regis granted but it's setting a precedent to say that if we don't like if we don't approve of what you've done then you're not worthy of the bill of rights and of the united states coming up at least in terms of this is accused of bankrolling as electoral operations with russian money in the deep divide between rome of brussels told about the rest of

morning news we come back. much was expected from the noise summit there may have been goodwill on both sides but in the end neither the united states nor north korea could agree on the path forward the two sides failed to reach a common understanding of what their desired endgame for denuclearization actually is. but the number. they matter to us is over one trillion dollars of debt more than ten white collar. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be. eight percent world market thirty percent some with one hundred twenty three first circuit per second and that

one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is 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 is that you know the one and only. good morning starts international with me kevin now and so collaborating with russia seems to be an accusation that is never far from the headlines of the moment this time the spotlights on italy's interior minister mattel's silvie the city official claims he's been bankrolled by moscow but here is very clear and i do not see now salvini is receiving money he's going to receive huge amounts of money from russia from russian banks for the next electoral campaign so that he turned them on

the values of the e.u. well that statement of course raise concerns in italy politicians that demanded to know where solving these funding came from the minister himself denies taking any money from russia. i don't have about the legal funding has arrived nor will arrive in the league there is no money in luxembourg or the caymans were in switzerland just there are no rubles for yen or barrels of oil. but all the leagues for relations secretary came on the life of me earlier on he warned against making unsubstantiated allegations this gentleman said. faking you would be sued. for defamation saw probably he would be our campaign because he left me after the court to say that we are right because. the proof we never had and we would never have money from anyone because we don't need it we are serving is so popular that we don't

need money to go or not this is. their way of dickon painting of the left the meat of each day i have no argument they don't know what to say didn't know what to propose for the next european election and so the only way is to create the sum scanned again. party that are going to rule the next election. the shooting range of the u.k.'s been branded distasteful for a long pictures of ice all brides should mean were begging to be used as target practice the teenager notoriety of an interview in which he showed no remorse or regret about fleeing to syria whatever images used at the range covered in bullet holes has been widely shared online reaction has been mixed. in a society where hate and violence against muslims particularly muslim women is most prevalent on the rise it's deeply concerning that people requested an image of a real person as a shooting target it's clearly wrong to use photos of people as targets in

a shooting they should stop why you're so worried about a traitor they're just plain again with her poster her eyes his friend starts to real human hands of beheaded victims like a football and she wasn't fazed remember that syria baby was born in britain but fled to syria four years ago to join us all when she was fifteen she now says she'd like to return to the u.k. but britain's move to revoke her citizenship is at a shooting range explains why the chose to add shimmy. the targets provide some fantastic reactions and conversations and allow people to have some lighthearted fun and bring out the inner child in us all the targets we provide do not necessarily always reflect our personal opinions after watching footage of big i'm being interviewed and the lack of remorse and empathy she shows we chose to go ahead and run the targets we all sort of guess thought of the kind of message it sends out to people. the issue is how it's going to actually impact on muslims in

this country and muslim women in particular and the fact that we need to recognize that she whether we like it or not because she is a muslim woman she is going to inevitably represent something that the people who are going into range of people are saying this is something that is going to be targeting muslim women in the second what is more what is more offensive to muslim women the fact that should be pagans picture was at the shooting range almost nobody is going to go to all the fact that somebody is appearing on international television to say that should mean begum is a vet present state of muslim women in britain that is not what i said that is a caricature of precisely what i've actually precisely what you said that night if you have knowledge of the need to actually think about why do you allow me to finish what you allow me to finish what i'm talking about plane that is being made is that a racist environment this is a racist environment which you are a part of which is encouraging the targeting of muslim women she is

a terrorist and they're law abiding citizens and frankly you should take that back you should apologize to muslim women in this country for suggesting that she is like them this is a process of desensitization of children from a very early age and this is problematic because it is saying that it's ok to shoot and kill women in her job because that's exactly what is being suggested in this to call it harmless fun i think it's important that we recover the child advocates on the t.v. channels that we should take military action to get the child by the u.k. who after all is an innocent victim she can take a hike i don't care about. the release idea because she also says it's not true and b. so fed was there to result and that there. is a terrorist threat as american base in a way that would be taken away but for a white person that would not be an option. their citizenship would be taken away he said on out of bounds of the law recognize that there's

a structural outfly or racism that exists through everything that you are actually it's racism is that what you are defining should be i would say of the you all bring her about defending bring her out and try her and that's the issue there is an environment of hate that exists i think what we have to think first of all who are the real victims here should be the preacher is a terrorist she has supported a brutal terrorist regime the disgraceful idea in the media that we should be seeing her is the victim i think is sad and pathetic it would not be the role of the british state to tell british people what they can and can't do just cause one or two people are offended by it if we lived our lives bunning everything that that one person found offensive nothing would exist in the world i thank god i live in a country where we're never going to do that well from bird to toilet paper year the desire for soft toilet paper is a devastating effect on ancient canadian forests big link here is according to environmental groups a damning new report that shed some light of the consequences of the activity of

leading tissue brands certainly don't think about too often the united states uses more toilet paper than any other country an average american uses three rolls a week and who calculated the report says a failure to create more sustainable products makes consumers complicit in flushing forests down the toilet and it reveals that almost sixty percent of all canadian paper export goes to the u.s. now campaigners say the excessive use of tissue products of really dumb just not only nature will only global climate but the lives of indigenous people as well by taking away the environment they live in we spoke to tell you some miller about this he's a forest programs director and one of the groups behind the report. statistic that american consumption is impacting the boreal forest but that's something that's a concern and so i think it underscores also the need for the canadian government to step up and do more to protect more of its forests we are calling on companies like procter and gamble on big brands like sharman to do better to use more

recycled fiber that currently sharman as zero recycled fiber in it. and to the response about the worst trees that are used in the paper on a global scale what we need to be doing is protecting its many forces we can't keep in forests and being not you know walking for us using the materials once i'm in the muslim cells or washing them on the toilet. well no that's the way some of them i will do so as a shaping up as a report of month internationalists friday with me kevin i would always more doubts all of breaking news stories of course if you go to a strange mobile device she'll always be on top of the news from us for another for me but if you do have a great day this friday. after

the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the ball different clubs on one hand it is logical to go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and the fresh perspective i'm used to surprising. if you think. i'm going to talk about football not be. because think i was going to the. by the way what is the punch line here. in the need. for my job on our sixteen level. job far under our former isis fighters and boarding

a philippine naval ship. but maybe not for me ned sounding name and the laughs. just aren't abdulla still don't know what's waiting for them. this is what. the new family are not usually. just so. damn about how i can't quite get out of. hand i'm a. war. seemed wrong why don't we all just all. meet you all get to shape

our disdain come to educate and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. you know world of big. lot and conspiracies it's time to wake up to dig deeper to get the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.

welcome to serve. in our last program with. palestinian tensions hearing the palestinian perspective. so are the prospects of lasting peace. today i ask admiral long the former had israel's domestic security service and commander in chief israeli navy. the un results conflict of a palestine is hosting israel's position on the international stage and sparking a rise in anti semitism threatening jewish communities all over the world but with palestinians divided and israeli voters leaning towards hard line action can there be any real progress towards peace will any israeli politician be bold enough to start untangling decades of hatred and l.

long contentions similar to the fall they blow up one.
