home country. recent weeks. displacing germany's ruling. saudi arabia. welcome to the program. now the president of crisis stricken venezuela has ordered the european headquarters of the country's state oil company to relocate to moscow the concerns over securing national assets off the key figures in europe sided with the united states in backing self-proclaimed interim leader one way door who they want to run the major oil exporter at a news briefing with the russian foreign minister the venezuelan vice president said her country doesn't trust u.s.

allies in europe. or. the relocation of. the from europe all see that it'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 or assurances that he will respect our assets look at the bank of england which is we holding venezuelan gold there has been an armed robbery on his watch and we want to ensure our relationship with russia. venezuela has 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 shares venezuela's concerns over u.s. led attempts to destabilize the country is autism or if a national with more. 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 its future and made just as foreign minister lavrov has said today cynical complain aimed at overthrowing the determine 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 has specially 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 a peaceful 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's especially after america's president trumps claiming that all the options are on

the table meaning including military operation armed operation in venice is well worth it when i'm on your ticket there is a concerted effort they're seeking to justify an international intervention in venezuela being headed by due west and their regime change doctrine this is nothing new we've seen these tactics and here and now the country the person in charge of action against venice well is not in for there is to the first of that to beauty is an attack to foreign states and that's mr abrams it is a very clear was going on to seeking to arm terrorist groups and rebels in order to destabilize in undermine our peace. which it's no coincidence that we heard venezuela is not. the only goal cuba nicaragua rome horizon and if the u.s. doesn't like someone else tomorrow if they say the election results in any country don't meet democratic standards now answering r.t. question as well as vice president of the biggest 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. u.s. special envoy to venezuela was asked about the russian foreign minister's warning that washington is planning a military intervention. foreign minister lavrov for. fifteen years. known him for quite a while i don't. think he actually believes that we're attempting to to do that and i think as you know you're not attempt to do that we continue to say and we always will but all options are on the table because they always are but i think anyone who actually looks at american policy in venezuela would not reach that conclusion . new u.s.

sanctions on six individuals from venezuelan security forces for not allowing u.s. aid convoys into the country last week president maduro his concern over the raid is because back in the eighty's the then u.s. special envoy was accused of smuggling weapons to nicaraguan rebels the skies there as aid after announcing the new restrictions abrams was pressed by an associated press reporter about whether those running out of steam and the effect of american officials threatening language towards what they were. are you meaning the administration at all concerned. for lack of a better word excitement over when the recognition is losing some momentum and in giving given the majority of the seem to be going anywhere he certainly not taking the national security adviser's advice to the beach outside of it as well i wish him a long quiet retirement on a pretty beach far from venezuela and the sooner he takes advantage of that the

center is likely to have a nice quiet retirement on a pretty beach rather than being in some other beach area like guantanamo so are you concerned that you're losing momentum and then such and relieved of that. there is one member of congress in particular senator who has suggested that madeira might meet the same fate as get off the libya and just that help or hurt you or your cause or your efforts to build momentum. i'm not actually going to get into that commenting on what particular senators are then forget it. forget it forget the line about any senator to do comparisons between with duro and and suggesting that he might meet the fate of the do that does that help your answer i'm i'm not going to get into that other than to say that i think that. dictatorships come to an end some last for a very long time. others

a much shorter time this one in venezuela will also come to an end we hope that it comes to an end quickly and peacefully. and i'll talk to the head of latin american studies at london's middlesex university francisco thanks for joining us good to have you on the program today as that journalist suggests that is that a possibility that one dollar is losing momentum could that be the case. i think so it's very clear that he's suffered a setback. not only by the united states rose in the asia through emergency meetings in the in addition mega-state where it was that if it's trying to get the these organizations brutalize wide all. and then raised in the manner in united nations security council coins and being defeated on that hook asians and then the push on the twenty third of february to vote in bush to try to bring through me

close form one of the cold humanitarian aid ticklers also failed miserably and now on way though it's also the country and many of the people he has a point that there's. a massive the socially economically looking aside because they'd have been most of you in a sort of completely i live in a convent and i think to me that the rhetoric of the you know that as though they're trying some monday mental pretending that all the good is within the national mall when every single act but they do actually validate every principle and every method or thing in the national particularly those in the united nations and washington that has just imposed more sanctions on the venezuelan individuals the u.s. envoy to the country does seem confident the material will go i mean how do you see this playing out in the coming days and weeks. well the people in venezuela

particularly the military signal i n c soldiers drawn. the pressure from the united states in particular almost exclusively on the military. could three years again and again through who are shown tours through blackmail you name it got most work where's it going on beyond the scenes and so far they go almost nothing and then blessed unless they will. unless they're able to get something. which they haven't i don't think they're going to be in the middle east raises the specter or something or nothing which can be organizing the regular forces and training and organized by the united. in the going to war which is been raised and groom strongly in invincible as well as a roses and mr abrams is exactly. so this is jane concerned therefore

that confirms not only won't always fit it but the united states is going to source something much more dramatic speaking of abrams he said he doesn't want the venezuelans to get humanitarian aid but not under the more doura regime now the us has said repeatedly it's concerned about the venezuelan people their prosperity their well being etc if that is such a concern why impose that caveat on humanitarian aid. this is a good point why you noticed asian system doing militarily you know leave you know this is really wanted to have been absolutely what the sanctions which i will all the pressure to sort of the winners will only and this will only be a difficult is that they're facing number one number two not just but actually made for those who truly united nations so they're probably bullies in their organization and trying to see the corporation or the government for these events for them trying to show the people who. through to bring in any innocent me but

instead of doing that they used in these as a ploy in order to study law and you can see no reason cologne absolutely glutens we have prevailed and the tension make no bones about it they eventually to bring about regime change they want the government model ousted why why should the united states. all the bridges over israel or any other country for that matter or interesting stuff out of latin american studies at middlesex university francisco domingo's thanks for your take today here on r.t. international. an indian fighter pilot who was captured by pakistan after his jet was shot down has been handed over to india military figures supervised that transfer which was also televised live here pakistani prime minister described the pilot's release as a pure nice gesture as tension between on two young other countries has escalated

to recent yet i can't get up to write it which means let's go live now to journalist and asic has me in islamabad sir thanks for coming on the line today fraught international pakistan of course hoping the return of the pilot will take some of the heat others out of situations been very heated over the past few days has that happened and how are things looking as often i'll. a flame referred to treat is back when the tensions are under down but as we were running very high every week you know everybody stand he was shocked when the indian fighter jets riley expired astounds airspace but after two days the situation what will be different i went back east on should bear down indian i don't mean sick and then i captured the pirates are you know and then you know that this was a move by the pakistani government that banned in iran the prime minister of pakistan announces that announced in the. joint sitting off the parliament that

joe we are going to release the pilot you know as a goodwill gesture from pakistani side and you know that in large and this was very really appreciated by pakistani nation and every one was you know when he happy to have doubted the pakistan is going to release that indian pilot and especially when this news was heard by the international community everyone was appreciating pakistan's effort to bring peace in the region especially when the indian side has a you know we still water in pakistan and escalate tension in the region and pakistan gave us water to sponsor by easing be on hand. and the pirates where we were gunned down weeks later and to do it by victim or captured by pakistani forces here so today. they can't buy any i mean how was has been shifted

to the. strict security you know the indian authorities in the presence of officials of the indian high commission to pakistan at large and this was this was you know what gesture by pakistan that by the sound of large species in the region and you know as bold asian and i will respond to stop. he has many times like this. we are diplomatic response to india and gratian and toward the world the nation you know we want peace in the region. so interesting to see how that's going to play out diplomatically over the next few days journalist as the academy in islamabad there for us with the latest update thanks for that. well the status of kashmir has been an instrument an insurmountable obstacle between india and pakistan now for many decades.

has been a split in germany's governing coalition with two of the main parties are towards over whether to prolong the freeze of arms sales to saudi arabia they were initially halted in response to the killing of saudi journalist. for which several saudi officials were blamed now the freeze was initially introduced as a temporary measure is to to be evaluated 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 while the conservatives argue that by halting saudi arms sales germany risks losing the trust of its international partners. if germany pretty in a european or supra national project then partner should find common rules otherwise such projects could take place without germany in the future britain and france have already oh it's germany to exempt the big defense projects from the moratorium or risk damaging its commercial credibility that's partially of course because the top british defense for be a e systems could suffer as a result of that german trade suspension and are saudi arabia has been involved in the yemen for around three years now the country's become one of the largest arms importers in the world most of the weapons saudi arabia purchases come from britain

and the united states the german arms sales to the country have gone up before being frozen at the end of last year all the while the saudi led campaign in yemen has led to being branded the worst humanitarian crisis since the second world war saudi officials insist they investigate all reports of civilian casualties. we heard earlier from mars and also who's an m.p. in hamburg state parliament he suspects elements of the coalition are inflating reasons just to secure weapons exports. drew this the international cooperation colonel of the consular tips they want to go around the restraint to if germany

exploit regulations in this no because we have some kind of restrictive regulations which do not forbid arms sales or weapon exports that it's regulations which at least limit and now the argument that international cooperation should be saved through no more limiting the next falls or arms sales to saudi arabia is just some kind of a or a trick of course there will be consequences for example of weapons or it's which are literally true durable. or not to be conducted that easy like before with the restrictions from germany but i think it will out of the corporations and between the. companies and work an industry because they are common interests as well so it will affect a little bit but not that much. afghan forces have repelled a deadly taliban assault on

a military base in the south of the country it's being reported locally that twenty attackers including several suicide bombers were killed and at least twenty three security personnel also died so earnest sort on fire as he has more details from kabul. the herd early in the morning that a target camp bastion three am local time and then ministry of defense declared that all the assailants have been killed after a sixteen hour fight and as a result twenty three in a forces have been killed and twenty including eight suicide bombers of the taliban also have been killed some sources are saying that you know one of the suicide assailants managed to get into the camp and blew up his explosive inside a dining room that resulted the majority of the casualties but they are in helmand a local official said that they couldn't breach security walls but what we have to

actually to you know to harm the youth the existing two hundred us forces within the camp we still do not know the detailed. information about the whole attack because the camp bastion used to be a british force. field in the past back in twenty six two thousand and six and and it was well equipped and you know how to type very tight security with surveillance cameras and very thick was. europe's lucrative energy market has got the u.s. keen to tap in the czech president though has looked over the numbers and says importing gas from across the atlantic could cost nearly a third more than russian supplies. buying american gas would mean an increase of about thirty percent on what spend some buying russian gas the president also backed germany over the north stream to gas project the twelve hundred kilometer

pipeline will deliver russian gas to europe through the baltic sea a multinational project involves five western investors it's costing one point five billion dollars and will double imports of russian gas into europe when it's online . for november. the united states considers north to to be a strategic threat it's been threatening companies and countries involved with sanctions and also wants its nato allies to stop cooperating with russia's gas from over the project so far though the threats haven't worked. president trump has clearly said that the united states is against this project buying gas from the united states would not be a problem for us presume that russia's price is better than that of the united states russia is more attractive for us as upon on this is. unacceptable one sided tightening the tone maybe because the way donald trump

doesn't want the infrastructure for germany to go for europe to get russian gas because if they haven't go the infrastructure they are of course much much more expensive that the u.s. . gas and for the u.s. it is. indeed a. matter because the u.s. has less and less what they can offer. other ways for the president to get bankrupt. shooting rates in the u.k. he's been branded this tasteful for allowing pictures of ice or bride to be going to be used as target practice that the major notoriety after an interview in which she showed no remorse or regrets about fleeing to join the terrorist group in syria one of her images use that the rain is 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 eyes his friends stars three real human heads of beheaded victims like a football and she wasn't fazed remember that i mean the big one was born in britain but she took her sister's passport and fled to syria to join us all when she was fifteen and also as she's like she'd like to return to the u.k. britain has moved to revoke her citizenship though here is why the shooting range according to them shows the ad big m z image to their roster. 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 asked our guests if using such images at the shooting range is appropriate. issue is how it's going to actually impacts 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 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 almost nobody is going to go to all the fact that somebody is appearing on international television to say that should mean the 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 why don't 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 their 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 its u.k. who after all is an innocent victim she can take a hike i don't care about this i don't think i did either release idea if she also says it's not true and b.

so a fed was there to reason that there. was a terrorist incident is going to be placed in a way that would be taken away but for a white person that would not be an option. they citizenship would be taken away he said oh no other than that alone i recognize that there's a structural racism that exists through everything that you are actually say sense of what you would define i think should be why would i am to use your bring her back to defend the grey nomads 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 all the real victims here should be he's a terrorist she supported a brutal terrorist regime the disgraceful idea in the media that we should be seeing her as the fake said i think it's sad and pathetic it would not be the role of the british state to tell british people what they can and call they just cause one or two people are offended by if we lived our lives bombing everything that the one person found offensive nothing would exist in the world thank god i live in

a country where we're never going to do that those are the headlines for this hour thanks for joining us once even myself see you again for the latest global news updates. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the different clubs on one hand it is logical to signal from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and the fresh perspective i'm used to suppressing us all why not if . i'm going to talk about football not the or else it will sink i was going to do. by the way what is it that's like here.
