ah. the. united states says all options are on the table when it comes to venezuela they've also slapped the crisis hit country with more sanctions for not allowing the usa convoys to went a little about that. also washington threatens to close chinese language and cultural centers across the u.s. all forced teachers to register as foreign agents and. tens of thousands of students skipped school in france and germany to demonstrate over climate change.

we can live with me kevin zero eight am saturday morning here a chilly moscow welcome so first that all options on the table united states who comes to venezuela the statement came in response to a warning from russia's foreign minister who believes that washington is planning a military intervention the u.s. special envoy for the crisis stricken country elliot abrams reiterated america's position at a briefing on friday. i have known far mr lover of 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 it's you know you're not it to you that we continue to say and we always will that 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 was announced new u.s.

sanctions on six individuals from venezuelan security forces for not allowing u.s. aid convoys into the country last week for president to do he's concerned about the aid because back in the one nine hundred eighty s. abrams defended smuggling weapons to nicaragua and rebels disguised as aid at the time when he was this instance that could be a state law for announcing the new restrictions abrams was pressed by an a.p. news agency reporter about whether one is running out of steam and the effect of american officials threatening language towards nicolas maduro i'm wondering are you meaning the administration at all concerned that the initial. for lack of a better word excitement over when the recognition is there 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 those on the beach outside of venezuela 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 relieve that. there is one member of congress in particular has a senator who has suggested the 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 doro and and suggesting that he might meet the fate of get off the do that does that help your. 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 these something is said about it said but not only by the united states raised in days should remain to see need to be given as it is and it stated what it was that it's to try and get a these are the assistant red lines why don't you think and then place in the mind that in the united nations security council clients being treated and it's ok since then to push on that one percent of the. push to try to green through me trees form whether you call to military needing to call on us also failed miserably and now own way though it's outside the country and many of the people here as an. ambassador socially or not because they'd have to live in a sort of completely. the us is also canceled the visas of forty nine venezuelan

representatives aligned with president nicolas maduro according to the part of the state people that still for the venezuelan people or undermine democracy and quote are not welcome in the united states special envoy abrams again said that the restrictions are intended to punish people who have prospered amid the south american countries dire economic crisis the head of latin american studies at london's middlesex university francesco to make a spoke to see believes the u.s. efforts have been mostly ineffective. to believe in a swirl of deeply the military civic alliances so strong that pressure from the united states in particular almost exclusively on the military literally. three years again and again through those who are shown. through blackmail you name it got those words what is it going on behind the scenes and so far they

go almost nothing and mr abrams exactly. so this is just concerned therefore that confirms not only way to always hit it but the united states is going to school something much more dramatic. china's language and cultural centers could face closure in the us after a senate report alleging that they've been used by beijing to influence the minds of the public document also claims the confucius institutes like transparency and it suggest chinese teachers should register as foreign agents now calum opens got the latest. u.s. leaders have been very upset over alleged foreign influence and meddling of late and they've discovered a new source of terror behold the vast chai cum conspiracy the confucian institute . a new report issued by the u.s.

congress says that the dance workshops and traditional cooking classes here are no laughing matter in fact they're part of a communist plot to get inside of your brain through confucius institutes the chinese government is attempting to change the impression in the united states and around the world that china is an economic and security threat so let's go over their alleged crimes shall we the centers classes apparently describe china as a compassionate and friendly country the centers are funded by gifts from the chinese mainland and apparently there is not total transparency when it comes to the cultural centers operations so we decided to stop by the offices of the confucian institute where classes are being held here in lower manhattan and see if the people realize that they're being sucked in by a vast chinese conspiracy against our american way of life so do you feel like a foreign agent. a foreign agent do you feel threatened by existing this china institute where they give language classes and such known maybe

a little bit. you know china is a little you know not something i could imagine china doing do you feel like it's in co-creating propaganda here i have no i think the entire world will just terrible right now better for it also beyond the fact that the confusion institute is linked to chinese language classes in american schools that's right because of this institute a lot of young children might actually learn to speak the mandarin language and we all know there's nothing more dangerous to world peace than cultural understanding this type of activity teaching line. which is in culture is not going to move the needle for china in any way politically in terms of how people see china the claim from the us senate report is propaganda propaganda chinese surprise right have a world view that is different than americans f.b.i. director testified to the senate that these are also acting as intelligence

collection agencies so our chinese intelligence has been in bed it all over the united states for decades there are so many chinese and united states we're going to be very critical positions in security and technology areas companies military commercial everything the question is do they need to confucius institutes to continue that mission probably don't my expectation going forward is that the u.s. will continue book procedure calls these institutes. legs tens of thousands of skipped school on friday in france and also the german city of hamburg to demonstrate over climate change is a call on governments to tackle the issue they're part of a growing youth movement which has seen similar action in several other countries to. was god was.

here you know it's you who are not satisfied with the policies being implemented today and very marginalized into shall we disagree with what is going on and to ask for a radical and you need to change it if we are here because the adults aren't doing anything what people say the use is the future so i think it's up to us to do something. yeah activists behind these recent youth led climate protests published an open letter ahead a global day of action on it all on the fifteenth of march they demanded decision makers around the globe take responsibility and wall that their movement cannot be stopped they say now although the. youth strikes for climate change movement is not centrally organized as found as inspiration in this lady fifteen year old grettir firm the swedish teenager was among the first youth activists to publicly raise awareness of climate issues she delivered speeches in the un the european economic and social committee and at the world economic forum in davos as well should be busy according to time magazine five grettir's now among the top twenty five most

influential teens of twenty eighty three are striking because we have done our homework and they have not. and yes we are angry we are angry because the older generations are continue to sealing our future right now and they are continue doing this and we will not let them do that anymore despite the if march is being set up locally that's not stop some senior politicians suspecting a sinister influence from elsewhere though in germany children are protesting over climate protection it's an important concern but you can't imagine that all german children after years and without any outside influence come up with idea that they have to take part in this protest i know who is behind this movement those the son did in one street and the truants i have also been told that from state security i can guarantee that i do not see ghosts alone and that clemens of ministry sions are

more than spontaneous actions of solidarity with their client so what's going on we'll discuss this further are two spoke to journalist john bolton asa social and environmental justice campaigner george barda. this is clearly being encouraged and i would suggest he even being promoted by left wing snowflake teachers the place for children during school time enjoying term time is in the classroom if they want to get involved in politics that's great but this is clearly being orchestrated yeah i think this is just a way of trying to muddy the waters around the messenger rather than focus on the message from these children which is that politicians must do what is required to have any chance of assuring a decent future if these children want to demonstrate they can use the weekend they don't do it during school time no one's disagreeing with children being involved in politics what is wrong is the year of sperm to sponsible nature of your defense

which is you think it's perfectly ok for kids to skip lessons these are children they should be at school getting educated for which we all pay our taxes for a bit like saying people should go to work so why of a strike why have they undertake and strikes i was coming and it is it's precisely because kids today knew to be going to for who need their only word man in every working age undersized leaves that has to withdraw their labor you're talking about children children should be going to school less wind agitators like college level is hmong should not be encouraging them to skip it that conceived it sort as her way of interacting the same kind of withholding of her labor which in this case it was he's not labor for money because she's a child she can always win why it is so much you know polite and you understand this is a serious issue but nothing like the action that is now absolutely necessary and can't be delayed nothing other than that gets us to where we need to be do you not

think the children's education is important do you not think this disrupts the whole school not only for the people who are protesting but for the other children as well these are children you should not be encouraging them they should be told to get back to their classrooms children need to understand the facts if they want to have. views they can no problem whatsoever but in a week they should be doing double math or biology not out on the street you are absolutely failing to gauge with the seriousness of this crisis and therefore with that reason only i wouldn't have taken such an exceptional. it could equally that the only thing that children can withdraw in a way that is disruptive and this is the analogy with sharing is there. exactly and they are children that understand much better than most of us it seems that their future is at stake in the conversation when on next reporting a gyptian authorities have arrested six people in connection with that deadly train crash miracle in cairo earlier this week that claimed over

a dozen lives egypt's transport minister has resigned over the incident which is said to have been triggered by a brawl between two train drivers one allegedly left the brakes off we spoke to a witness of what happened. now it is possible to get at it that we saw smoke come from inside the station and the computer was screaming we hurried to the station the fire was spreading out it was horrible. to. look dumb at but i think it odd there are so dead bodies but many dead bodies are sort of it some flesh on the floor the train was carrying a many people there i started out i removed nearly twenty dead bodies from and carried them to the ambulance all were completely burned.

but all the baby out. to try to put out everything in front of me first i used water then i realized that if you pour water on wounds the hurt more we started using fire extinguishers to dance and work and we took the blankets which we had in archaeopteryx and we started covering people with them during the incident i ran and saw people burning in front of my eyes sick and i don't know why i was running back and forth coming up there was the most horrible thing i've ever seen in my life like i'm a people dying right in front of you you can do nothing about it thank god i did my best and saved somebody thank god the shampoo don't pack up. their p.c. w.c. issued its final report on the alleged chemical weapons attack in the syrian town of duma in april twenty eighth the report by the chemical weapons watchdog finds reasonable grounds to believe that chlorine was used in the attack he goes down off

reports. it was a long time as some probe often hobbled by all the dangers faced during the investigators on the ground but finally we have a more than a hundred page long report carefully unweaving the facts not to point the finger of blame but to establish what happened the verdict chlorine the banned chemical substance was used in duma amid moscow's warnings of an impeding toxic provocation by anti government forces militant groups in eastern guta are preparing a provocation with the use of chemical weapons to blame the syrian government for a chemical attack western nations will use reviewing casualties to accuse the syrian leadership of using chemical weapons against its own people again it wasn't the o.p.c. w.'s job to assign blame so they didn't an important new one since both the government forces as well as their enemy have the capability to use chlorine the

government of one. and a little city which is an organization declare the irish coastal. are having the capability to produce weaponized chlorine the report details the course of the probe the investigators talked to many who witnessed the aftermath of the attack and in particular these events at the local hospital that were sold to the world as the gruesome truth about the incident the area was being heavily bombarded at the time amid the ongoing clashes sold the medical facility was indeed packed yet according to what the u. o.p.c. w. learnt the footage that circulated right after the attack was not consistent with that expected from a chemical attack according to doctors there some doctors had never even heard of

the events shown in the video yet a nother bit of. proved that the initial video from the hospital could have been a hoax after almost six months of investigations i can prove without a doubt that the duma hospital scene was staged no fatalities occurred in the hospital that was a b.b.c. producer for you and employee of the channel there was among those happy to use the video as the real thing to cover the story disturbing reports of a chemical weapons attack chemical attack carried out by the acid regime the medics are doing more damage but they're overwhelmed dozens of people have been killed due to poison gas almost a year since the attack still no definitive proof to tie the syrian government to it but who cares anyway the sentence had already been delivered and carried out by the u.s. and its allies missiles. in the face of the migrant crisis many countries across

europe have been building walls and fences against illegal immigration a dead looks almost finished one of its own on the border with germany but this was got a different type of migrant in mind as our europe correspondent peter all over went to find out. president trump isn't the only one calling for border walls to be built or built that he built that. along a seventy kilometers stretch of gym in order to see the same thing but unlike trump's wall this one is close to finishing only technically it's really a fence. so who is this wall designed to keep out not rapists not murderers not drug smugglers not even those bought on braise that trump was so concerned about this fence is designed to keep out while the bowl. it's to stop the spread of african swine fever from germany into denmark thing is

though the hasn't been one documented case over the pig borne virus in germany to date the danes decision has upset the mayor of one german border town who says this whole thing goes against the. invisible borders. we do not consider this proportionate this is rather counterproductive the danes erecting the fence say they understand the frustration of their german neighbors but insist that it's necessary. especially. in the. sense that this there have been outbreaks of african swine fever in belgium and in east and europe the virus spreads very quickly there is no cure there is no vaccine

and it kills just about every animal that it infects in fact the only real good news is that it's not known to be any threat to humans there's twice as many pages as their own people in denmark and the on. new all exports of pig meat from the country said to be worth as much as four billion euros not so mention thirteen thousand jobs directly linked to the industry. just one case in a while for one case in a domestic peak this enough to close the export so that's why we have a theory well we don't know it and in china and south korea they close the totally export from a country if they know it's their country is written by ethical swine fever the same happened in chick republic same as happened in the ability of an angry hole and for that matter the politics tate's and we suspect that the symbol at will then what a border barrier a multi-billion euro export industry and a potentially fatal pandemic it's not a good time to be

a wild boar in denmark however they are very adept jumpers swimmers and even tunnel is so they sport a wall may prove to be is fruitless is the critics of donald trump's think his whale peter all of a germany. the canadian government started extradition proceedings against men one jew the chief financial officer of the technology firm while way to the united states and she faces charges of conspiracy to violate international sanctions on iran. today a department of justice canada officials issued an authority to proceed formally commencing an extradition process in the case of mismatching one joe the decision follows a thorough and diligent review of the evidence in this case the next step in the case is as follows the british columbia supreme court has scheduled an appearance state from march sixth twenty nineteen at ten am to confirm that an authority to

proceed has been issued and to schedule the date for the extradition hearing. by one jews was arrested in canada back in december at the request of u.s. authorities washington accuses the businesswoman who is also the daughter of well ways founder of trying to bypass america's sanctions on tehran the chinese telecom giants been embroiled in a high profile legal battles in the u.s. where it's accused of industrial espionage always rejected the claims being made against its c.f.o. all the while well come of those actions of also draw a fierce rebuke from beijing joseph orat is maintaining that the arrest amounts to political persecution the murti anyone with normal judgment can see that canada has made a serious mistake on this issue from the very beginning we age the canadian side to immediately release men one show and protect her legitimate rights we also strongly urge the u.s. to immediately corrects the mistake was draw the arrest warrant against men one show and not make a formal extradition request to canada. because geoffrey albert tucker thinks the

u.s. wants to use me as a pawn a negotiation for beijing. i mean this is just obviously an act of political violence of course if you've got a political enemy out of there out there somewhere that anybody can drum up any kind of charges against you i'm sorry that canada is going along with this but it's seems like it's unlatched lasted ditch effort american imperialism and really quite appalling i think it's it's deeply embarrassing for america so to use human beings as kind of fodder and in a trade war is appalling and let me be clear about this when i say trade war i don't mean just sides fighting this is an aggressive and pointless american attack on china on a previously mutually beneficial relationship completely a reflection of a new ideology in washington and that's been stalked by fears about the next stage of geo political reality there is no international law judge in this through

there's nothing that binds china and it's no us law binds china it's relationships with iran and it's just ridiculous it's really an and forcible except by this kind of egregious acts of political violence. back to europe a secret hungary's prime minister is not exactly best friends of brussels but it seems victor obama's latest and drugs proving a step he's accused of deliberately distorting the facts about the blocks migration policy and a publicity campaign. how
