venezuela moves. by ordering the state all companies european h.q. to move to moscow as amid concerns over u.s. attempts to destabilize the country. it is very clear was going on you were seeking to arm terrorist groups in order to destabilize and your mind creates tension situations that might trigger the u.s. wants an explosion and. that was to justify military interference. and indeed.

pakistan has been handed over to his home country in what the pakistani prime minister called a gesture of peace after the escalating tension over recent weeks. and a split in germany's ruling coalition over whether to restart arms sales to saudi arabia. thanks for joining us live on our team. welcome to the program. the president of crisis stricken venezuela has ordered the european headquarters of the country's state oil company to relocate so moscow. securing national assets off to key figures in europe sided with the united states backing self-proclaimed interim leader door who they want to run the major oil exporter i want a news briefing with the russian foreign minister the man as well and vice

president said our country doesn't trust the u.s. allies in europe. boy. the relocation of. you from europe i'll say there's been a part of our plans in terms of deepening relations with russian companies like gross math and gas prom europe has not given us enough for her and says that he will respect our assets look at the bank of england which is we holding venezuelan gold there has been an armed robbery. and we want to ensure our relationship with russia as. one is the largest oil reserves in the world u.s. sanctions have blocked seven billion dollars worth of the state owned companies assets russia says it shows venezuela's concerns over u.s. led attempts to destabilize the country is always more efficient with more details . friday's visit as well as vice president to moscow has become yet another one in a series of meetings between high ranking officials from russia and this like an

american country here in the russian capital meetings to show solidarity and ensure support of course russia is among the countries totally and fully back in venezuela defending its sovereignty and protecting hates future and made just as foreign minister lavrov has said today cynical complain aimed at overthrowing the ditch in the forty's of venezuela using open threats including one of a military intervention. knowing the approach of the current us administration i wouldn't be surprised if it takes action that violates any reasonable standards of international law especially when the u.s. special envoy in venezuela at the u.n. elliot abrams makes no secret that his functions don't include looking for the settlement he only creates tensions and situations that might trigger as the u.s. wants an explosion and bloodbath in venezuela to justify military interference needless to say a lot has been said about the possibility of military intervention of course that

dispassionately after america's president trumps claiming that all the options are on the table meaning including military operation armed operation in venice well worth it thorough we're now on your way to there's a concerted effort there is seeking to justify an international intervention in venezuela had by do you hear us and their regime change doctrine this is nothing new we've seen these tactics and if you were an other country the person in charge of action against venice while i was known for their student burst of activity as an attack to a foreign state and i asked mr abrams it is very clear was going on you was a seeking to arm terrorist groups and rebels in order to destabilize undermine. that. it's no coincidence that we heard venezuela is not. the only goals cuba in nicaragua are on the horizon and if the us doesn't like someone else tomorrow if they say the election results in any country don't meet democratic standards

announcer in r.t. question that as well as vice president has added also that she believes venezuela will not become second syria because the people of venezuela and the country's army are as united as never before in fighting for their future and peace or un security council was convened on thursday to discuss the crisis in venezuela russia and the united states both proposed their own draft resolution both of them were rejected. by voting against this resolution some members of this council continue to shield 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 in 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 or pushing them to accept a pittance due to regime change as they say you first of all create great 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 i'm still going to live in this when i'm people they behave like colonial east they are planning a plan this kind of peroration against it it's what i write down the same kind of took it up to force at the same time they are just feeding out of 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. former un human rights committee secretary alfred desire who was the first to visit but as well i think the united states has what you can war international laws. preparations have been already since year in the southern command has had the plans already prepared but the question is what will the. international price in pristine be for the

united states will the united states take the risk of a flagrant aggression against them as well as well the united states did so in two thousand and three when the coalition of the willing. bombarded iraq the war which. kofi annan on repeated occasions declared to have been an illegal war so the united states if. specially with a precedent like trump is capable of doing there is a danger of violence and it should be the function of the united nations to prevent that on the other hand i listened last night to the bait in the security council on venezuela which i consider to be so realistic i mean it is quite clear to me that

the united states is waging war on international law now that trump does that does not surprise me i mean while a new poll suggests that the global approval ratings of the u.s. leadership have fallen behind that of china while russia's position has increased significantly as well and washington's approval rating has dropped to thirty one percent in the gallup survey china's now lead to head on thirty four percent russia's rating has risen notably and is now just one percentage point behind that of the u.s. a leading member of the china u.k. innovation export group told us he believes u.s. interventionist politics are to blame for the fall in trust. you ass is already becoming one the more weak because you start to lose so many wars and political war or. treason war so basically people lose lose confidence towards us but is it expected china to actually meet as

a weren't and to use some of their leadership with us so this way i seen coming. and one of the really want to see either actually. to green party what you know act two was going on for development i think of quite a lump euro banus will be easier china and russia who has some power of all us you may be next. for lead her yeah so i see it's. good opportunity is out and to be china russia where play even more you can point to the rule of. an indian fighter pilot who was captured by pakistan after his jet was shot down has been handed over to india military figures supervise the transfer of what she was televised live to a pakistani prime minister described the pilot's release as a peace gesture as tension between the two nuclear countries has escalated in

recent weeks you're forcing from pakistan here's a local journalist. partner decided to end up records what has that law to let me put it up and earth where in the world nor their partner started believe in shorting the regular number gathered by the armored god you know. underdog are both going to boris for their balls nor the result which was you know what everybody else you don't but was a little bit earlier. but indian so i am sure this thing in the pilot. whole farmer served in the us decided to hand over the conundrum over the signatures and the wife told him something that was associates of not so believe was a favor i wish to issue on the nation that we are fully prepared and in a high maintenance do they do this to this pond to any from

a geisha pakistan could you envision all out war between india and pakistan i hope not. that would be mutual suicide and death is we should mean well this incident all the suicide bombing happened on fourteen probably many more going to work before indian police men want to kill the status of kashmir has driven a wedge between india and pakistan for quite some time now.

there's been a split in germany governing coalition with the two main parties at odds over whether to prolong the freeze of arms sales to saudi arabia that were initially halted in response to the brutal killing of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi for which several saudi officials were blamed for the freeze was initially introduced as a temporary measure it's true to be reevaluated in a few days' time the social democratic party has expressed its concern over saudi arabia's involvement in the war and yemen where there are numerous reports of civilian casualties the conservatives argue that by the whole thing saudi arms sales germany risks losing the trust of its international partners. germany pretty superior in a european or supra national project then partner should find common rules

otherwise such projects could take place without germany in diffuse. well both britain and france have already urged germany to exempt big defense projects from the moratorium or risk damaging its commercial credibility partially because top british defense for systems could suffer as a result of the suspension of those german sales saudi arabia has been involved in the war in yemen for around three years now the country's become one of the world's one of the largest arms importers in the world most of the weapons saudi arabia purchases come from britain or the united states german arms sales of the country have been steadily growing that they were frozen partially last year all the while though the saudi led campaign in yemen has led it to being branded the worst humanitarian crisis since the second world war saudi officials insist they investigate all reports of civilian casualties.

i was spoke earlier to martin who's an m.p. and state parliament he suspects elements of the coalition are inflating reasons just to secure weapons exports. drew this is the international cooperation from congo that the conservatives they want to go roam the restraint to if german exports regulations in this no because we have some kind of restrictive regulations which do not forbid it seance a weapon exports a lot of its regulations which limit. the argument that international cooperation should be saved through no more limiting the next falls or.

is just some kind of a or a trick of course it will be consequences for example a weapon to exports which are. true. or not to conduct it that easy like before with the restrictions from germany but i think it will out the corporations and between the. companies and work that industry because the common interests as well so it will affect a little bit but not that much. the pressures on kind of us prime minister federal elections are just months away but justin trudeau is facing growing calls to quit over a corruption scandal that's engulfed his entire government the former justice minister and attorney general says she was pushed not to prosecute one of the country's biggest engineering and construction firms which is accused of large scale bribery in an emotional testimony to the justice committee jody wilson raybold said the pressure on her included veiled threats if she went ahead with

prosecuting s.n.c. leval and 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. now the company in question is one of the world's largest engineering and construction firms in twenty fifteen it was charged with bribery and fraud over the payment of nearly one hundred million dollars in kickbacks to libyan officials the dealings allegedly involved family members of former leader moammar gadhafi who were meant to secure contracts in a lucrative irrigation project mr trudeau has the night any inappropriate behavior insisting he was just 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 well the whistleblowing former justice minister resigned over that affair prime minister trudeau's principal secretary has also left his position i read reports that more officials already to quit the administration political analyst alexandra bruno explains why the case could cost trudeau his job. 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 author a liberal ultra legal transparent leader who is completely tripping over his own ideals in ny 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 and also. since eleven is in writing where trudeau is directly involved the more writings you win the more chances you have been in an election it must have been very important for trudeau to have taken such really. amateur measures and he thought he could he could pressure his justice minister. a shooting range in the u.k. he's been branded. thanks to all for allowing pictures of i still bride sue me i'm a big i'm to be used as target practice the teenager notoriety after an interview

in which she showed no remorse or regret about fleeing to join the terrorist group in syria one of her images used that the range covered in bullet holes has been widely shared online reactions have 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 thinking with her poster her i says friends tossed real human heads of beheaded victims like a football and she wasn't faced remember that. sameem a big m was born in britain but since this passport and fled to syria to join eisele when she was fifteen she now says she'd like to return to the u.k. britain's move to revoke her citizenship is what the shooting range according to them shows to add begins image to their roster. targets provide some fantastic

reactions and conversations and allow people to have some lighthearted fun and bring out the in a child in us all the targets we provide do not necessarily always reflect our personal opinions after watching footage of being interviewed and the lack of remorse and empathy she shows we choose to go ahead and run the targets we asked our guests if such an act is appropriate. 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 recognise that she whether we like it or not because she is a muslim woman she is going to inevitably represent something that the people are going to range 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 that 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 it's not what it said that is a caricature. of whatever it is precisely what you say it is your knowledge i don't need to actually think about why do you allow me to finish what you allow me to finish you're 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 desensitized. ation 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 its u.k. who after all is an innocent victim she can take a hike i don't care about her. idea of the release idea if she also says it's not true and b. so fed was there to resolve and that there is it moral to if it's all and person is a terrorist so there is going to be place in a way that would be taken away but for a white person that would not be an option that their citizenship would be taken away he said on other than the law recognize that there is a structural racism that exists through everything that you are actually saying is a sense of what you would define i think should be like when i am to you all bring her back to defend the grain or add 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 jim he's 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 it's sad and pathetic that 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. harvard university in the united states is launching a probe off to a graffiti attack on campus called for one of its law professors to resign so after faculty dean ronald sullivan decided to join the legal team representing disgraced hollywood film producer harvey weinstein. down with the dean 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 me to me to look. 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 to 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 his innocent that beam that is of outrage you have filled 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 is to ensure that the support students receive for there is additional communities on paul's institutional commitment to their well being if a waltz plaudits an illegal winds or anything to go by sullivan's track record is formidable but when you signed up by an unpopular defendant like weinstein even the best legal reputation can bite the dust in the unforgiving court of public opinion yes everybody has a right to legal defense but not really everybody in america this is the precedent

that's been 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 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 i think it just goes to show the downfall in the trajectory of top american law schools there's very little competition because of this atmosphere in the united states on university campuses where so many students need to not be traumatized can't be around things that they don't agree with socially or politically i mean at the very essence of what you're going to school to become which as an attorney is debate is competition is arguing for your points is being around places where they're going to be challenges and so if you're going to a school to become that you have to be able to not only speak your mind but to understand why you're becoming an attorney. american news network

c.n.n. has been accused of stuffing the olds against a veteran politician and presidential hopeful bernie saunders a televised q. and a where some of the audience were suspiciously clued up on politics. and. how can a voter like me. feel confident in your ability to represent the party especially given that your response to sexual harassment allegations during your campaign is that you were quote a little bit busy running around the country trying to make the case to be elected as president.

that evening. there is a lot of misinformation regarding your plans for universal health care would you please provide a brief overview of your plan and how it differs from that of other candidates. if you become president. will you support efforts to offer high quality optional publicly funded preschool for all americans . i'm a student at the george washington university. which tells impressive seventy three thousand sticker costs as president how will you work to alleviate this issue.

this is a lot a long running to caesar than the u.s. political system true. they're used to trying to undermine the opposing parties and the notion of opposing parties this is just fundamentally destroying every country people just attacking each other from opposing sides that really decides what's really true is that this might be showing a symptom of something that is just has to do it and the serial dialogue and and progress through competition or progress through conflicts i think that c.n.n. has their systemic issues just because again they have to have yours which is sort of sad but i find that that to be par for the course the way that our media operates and it's hard to find media that is doesn't have an agenda i would not be surprised if c.n.n. wanted to.
