one of the president. wanted. to go right to the pros this is like before three of them will be good. i'm interested always in the water . the weekend in the headlines this saturday the united states says all options are still the table when it comes to venezuela they've also slapped the crisis hit country with more sanctions allowing u.s. aid convoys to. washington threatens to close chinese language and cultural centers across the u.s. pole forced teaches to register as foreign agents will tell you about this to. tens of thousands of students skipping school in france and germany to demonstrate that worries of a climate change. hello

i'm kevin though in this is all it's international great to have a company to run the world it's just that one of the afternoon this saturday now moscow time first the u.s. special envoy for venezuela says all options are still on the table when it comes to that crisis stricken country. abrams come in response to a warning from russia's foreign minister who believes washington is planning 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 un 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 i

have known far mr lover of for. fifteen years. known him for quite a while i don't. think you actually believe that we're attempting to to do that and i think is you know you're not it didn't 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 abrams announced new u.s. sanctions on six individuals from venezuela security forces for not allowing u.s. aid convoys into the country last week worth bearing in mind back in the eighty's he defended smuggling weapons to nicaraguan rebels this guys as a when he was assistant secretary of state for announcing the new restrictions evans was pressed by one journalist about the us is current approach to venezuela. i'm wondering are you got any administration at all concerned that the initial.

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 those on 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 relieve that. there is one member of congress a particular set a senator who has you know suggested the might meet the same fate as good off the libya and i 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 that off he do that does that help your cause 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 and they should swim agency meetings he doesn't isn't it he stated what it was that he gets to trying to get a these are guys this incredible nine's why don't you think and then wait a minute in the united nations security council clients and being defeated and it's ok since then to push on it clinton said. pushed to try to remain

through me closed form well the call to military needing medical was also failed miserably and now on way though it's outside the country and many of the people here as an. ambassador socially are not because they would have no clue in a sort of completely i live in a convent. is what i prefer on to the us is also canceled the visa forty nine venezuela representatives aligned with president maduro it says that anyone that steals from the venezuelan people or undermines democracy is simply not welcome in the united states the head of latin american studies at london's middlesex university spoke to us about it said the u.s. is pulling out all the stops in things to achieve its goal right now in venezuela the people in venezuela deeply the military civic alliance is solid strong the pressure from the united states in particular almost exclusively on the military literally for the last 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 is exactly the person. so this is jane concerned therefore that confirms not only won't always be defeated by the united states going to school something much more dramatic. china's language and cultural centers could face closure in the u.s. after a senate report alleged they're being used by beijing to influence the minds of the public the document also claims the confucius institutes like transparency and further it suggest chinese teachers should register as foreign agents caleb maupin has got the story. 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 get language classes and such known maybe a little bit. you know china's a little you know not something i could imagine china doing do you feel like it's in competing propaganda here i have. i think the entire world just terrible right now better for it also beyond the fact that the confucian institute is links 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 one. 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 surprise have

a world view that's different than americans f.b.i. director testified to the senate that these are also acting as intelligence collection agencies so chinese intelligence has been embedded all over the united states for decades there are so many chinese and united states working to bury critical positions in security and technology areas to companies military commercial everything the question is do they need the confucius institute to continue that mission probably don't my expectation going forward is that the u.s. will continue to put pressure to close these institutes young people worried for their future next this week tens of thousands of students skip school in france and germany and belgium to demonstrate of a climate change the call on governments to tackle the issue that i'm thinking of spain and they're very angry they're part of a growing youth movement which has seen some of similar action as several other countries as well. i

was. we are not satisfied with the policy has been implemented today and we're marginalizing to show we disagree with what is going on and to ask for radical and immediate change. we are here because the adults aren't doing anything what people say they use is the future so i think it's up to us to do something. about it. thank you all knowing what's interesting about this group i've been doing this for years i know what i'm doing you come in here and you say it has to be my way or the highway i don't respond to that well activist beyond the recent youth led climate protests published letter ahead of a big global day of action they got planned on the fifteenth of march they demand decision makers they say around the globe should take some responsibility and they

will that their movement is going to be stopped either now although the youth strikes for climate movements what it's called is not official essentially organizers found inspiration in this young lady fifteen year old called gratified the swedish teenager was one of the first youth activists to probably raise awareness of climate issues she's been really busy too she delivered a speech at the world economic forum in davos she's addressed the un climate change conference in poland shows and spoke to the e.u. in brussels in fact according to time magazine grettir's among the top twenty five most influential teens of twenty eight senior looking up. we 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 ceiling our future right now and they are continue to doing this and we will not let them do that anymore. well despite the youth march is being set up locally

that's not not stop some senior politicians are suspecting that just maybe a sinister influence is coming from elsewhere about all this 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 the idea that they have to take part in this protest i know who is behind this movement bose the son did in one stray sions 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 and striations are more than spontaneous actions of solidarity with their client so are smoke control or not will are to spoke to journalist john gordon social 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 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 air of sperm to sponsor will 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 do need to be going to for who need their own word man and have a working game on her side because to withdraw their labor you're talking about

children children should be going to school less weight 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 is not labor for money because she's a child she can always win why it is so much what you know polite and you understands 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 weekday they should be doing double math or biology not out on the streets you are absolutely failing to engage with the seriousness of this crisis and therefore

with that reason only i wouldn't have taken such an exceptional. equally the only thing that children can withdraw in a way that is disruptive and this is the analogy of the sharing is there. exactly and they are children that understand much better than most of us it seems that their future is at stake either side of the divide talking which coming up in the face of the migrant crisis many countries across europe have been building walls and fences against illegal immigration and they and denmark knows almost finished one on its border with germany who can tell you but this one's got a different type of migrant in mind that europe correspondent peter oliver 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 german danish border they 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 foes but 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 pink born 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 new ideal and visible borders. we do not consider this proportionate this is rather counterproductive the danes erecting the fence say they understand the frustration of that the neighbors but insist that it's

necessary. especially. in the. sense that this is so that 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 caves as their own people in denmark and the un. you will 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 there's enough to close the export so that's what we have been fearing when we don't that the parent in china and south korea they close the totally export from a country if they know it's a country stricken by african swine fever the same happened in czech republic same has happened in the ability of an angry owner and for that matter states and we suspect that that signal at will then with 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 no more to come including we're tracking a potential hotspot what may be going on between india and pakistan we can tell you scan machines along the disputed region of kashmir continue as those two nuclear powers tussle for control this weekend among the stories ahead.

the folks who print the money when they want more money they just print more money they don't rely on workers to produce stuff that they have to go sell and then make a profit on the stuff they sell you don't see that the car industry mars' become financially on the property market any more spend financial. manufacturing in the us has been exported to china and financial eyes commodified securitized. american as a worker is completely redundant the same as they are all around the world wages are converging and they converge at the wages in china so china wages are roughly i think four or five thousand dollars a year this is where the american wages are headed.

join me every week on the alex simon sure when i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you. again the international i'm kevin and tension between india and pakistan shows no sign of abating this weekend overnight three civilians have been killed in cross border shelling pakistan says indian troops targeted villages along the line of control in kashmir the standoff between new delhi in islamabad escalated dramatically of late since that terror attack on an indian police convoy last month killed at least forty officers the latest violence comes a day after an indian fighter pilot who was captured by pakistan after he. was

returned to his home country that made big t.v. news the transfer held on the border between the two countries all televised big audience pakistan's prime minister described the move as a peace just yet islam about also released a video recorded made up pilot while he was in the custody. it was york which morning i was trying to look for the target when i was shot down by the pakistani air force as soon as i objected my parachute opened and i came down and had a pistol with me if i tried to run and people chased me their emotions were running high then two pakistani army officials came in to save me pakistani army captain save me from the people and did not let any harm come to me but they took me to their unit where i was given first aid. meantime kashmir local shared their fears over the intensified conflict saying that when the shelling comes it is mostly civilians that are suffering. i'm going to think you're going to put him good at letting. you know that would be assuming he was about to get leave to get it's.

not going to be like the dividends on us not even on the fun not yet not it wasn't love at the end. of the. novel than good enough to have blood leave the queen mother the. one month if i do not follow up next a really sad story in the wake of sorties no sign of the arrested six people in connection with that deadly horrific train crash in cairo earlier it claimed twenty two lives egypt's transport minister has resigned over the incident which is said to been triggered by a brawl between those two train drivers there i want to legend he left the brakes off i wouldn't says describe the horror that unfolded around. it that we saw smoke come from inside the station and the gun people were screaming we hurried to the station the fire was spreading out it was horrible.

luck that i met but i think i'll be dead bodies with many dead bodies i saw a picture of flesh on the floor the train was carrying many people so i started up i removed the twenty dead bodies from and carried them to the ambulance were completely burned. but all of the video. they tried to put out everything in front of me first i used water then i realized that if you boil water on brooms the hurt more people started using fire extinguishers to get to 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 six. i don't know why i was running back and forth was the most horrible thing i've ever seen in my life the more people doing great in front of you you can do nothing about it thank god i did my best and

saved something i think i shall go back. an israeli comedian with unusual proposal on how to resolve saudi israeli tensions fired up the media across the region so was all abuzz about that could it not be this is you but i had a bit. of doubt of your sound. for that. but started. this and b. and o. r. and b. . that i look at that i feel. bad for this. but those light hearted remarks opened the door to the serious issue behind her comedy norma told us about her wish to create

a political party aimed at bridging the arab israeli divide. more busy with. busy with the middle east i speak arabic fluently from a really young age and was raised in a bilingual school where i learned arabic very connected to the middle eastern identity to my arabic and i'm also aware how much israel is disconnected in terms of mentality and language and culture and politics from the arab world with my comedy i hope to be of some kind of a middle woman we are here living with palestinians and we need to solve this israeli palestinian conflict and israel needs to end the illegal occupation and palestinians we can be busy with the your vision and pretend look we're in europe but we are from the middle east most of us look middle eastern and we need to start realizing that we're not part of europe we're in the middle east. thanks for watching this saturday and unity else in the coming hours springle they said lunch for moscow this is all it's international i'm kevin i would say goodbye for now and

enjoy the rest of the week. you know we're number one and two capitals in united states we all slow number one. how many you shot before. awful sometimes. evil you selling crack rock or you got a wicked jump shot in order. to get it like a lot in a month's other life. so this is. at the

rules for. globalization lost its moral compass and maybe if to put more values into the system my personal opinion is we have to string some multinational multilateral institutions living in a dark ruled it's like room lucille scheme having always you know all action and come to action so we need to put spector was a system and we need stronger leadership and better leadership. kong. the maternity town the slums go in and you may never get out some sort of.

my teenage gang rules here because i want to move there not to be my. mother. but. maybe it will be. nice seeing her. but now it's looking for the yeah. and melanie right now wouldn't. you know mccain. can use all i see.

but i'm sure the cars are in for. sure yet another journey down the path of truth justice and the global way global global. hey max i had to hash l. and trust chain t. shirt on you could actually buy it out there it's available online and it actually has stacey her purse name on the back and as one of the first of the two hundred recipients of the lightning torch so that was a stork moment and it's it's immortalized on t. shirts and mugs for around the world you know what else is the more it all is gold and that is in my first tweet max i have from luke roman it appears something big happened in one thousand seven hundred one that drove a big diverges in productivity and compensation and therefore wealth inequality anyone know of any big currency system changes that happened in one nine hundred

seventy one if us wants to win trade war gotta fix the us dollar system and luke rowan provides a link to this chart from the washington post the economic policy institute and it shows that when companies put the brakes on worker pay growth in productivity an hourly compensation since one nine hundred forty eight you see the yellow line is productivity and that has increased by two hundred forty six percent since one nine hundred forty eight and yet compensation split off their. own to seventy one when the breaking point happened and there's now a ninety percent divergence between the two what happened. i think we all know that in august of one nine hundred seventy one richard nixon took the united states off the gold standard because it didn't want to pay the united kingdom three hundred million u.s. dollars worth of gold which is them backed by thirty five dollars thirty five dollars per ounce of gold that the united kingdom wanted for their trade.
