keep. the stories the president speaks to our. country for more the. u.s. support for the opposition. and. violence but their plan won't work and we have decided to protect our country. chinese language and cultural centers are threatened with both teachers being forced to

read. get reaction from the students. do you feel threatened by existing the. language classes and such. that's something i could imagine china doing tire world. sports. in the world go for. broadcasting live from our international news. this is our names you know neal it's good to have your company our top story the venezuelan vice president has told r.t. american political pressure is doing more harm than good to the country citizens on

the queues the washington backed opposition leader of trying to steal the election delicacy rodriguez has been talking in depth. which network. he certainly we know the u.s. uses fake financial help in order to overthrow the governments of other countries then israel is about fake financial help they don't want to help economically financially to help with provision with medicines to help commercially and on the twenty third of february the whole world saw that they brought instruments of violence to venezuela and not eight hour repeat there is nothing new in this they export violence to countries but their plan won't work in venezuela we have decided to protect our country president donald trump has put a face to the united states' imperialist policy it's a policy of cheating and threatening those who do not submit to their wishes instructions and interests specifically venezuela east threatened every day there is a right wing extremist movement that previously tried being part of venezuelan politics

but they don't have the law or support of the venezuelan people because they did not manage to earn in the correct way which is by gaining votes they did not succeed they did not win the lot of the people and so they have become this violent and extremist group another aspect to the story of us has moved to sanctions six of us who were in security forces personnel for preventing convoys of all aurthur rise usaid into the country last week that's on top of measures against the oil industry and other attempts by washington to force nicolas maduro from office self-proclaimed interim leader one going to is promising that he will get u.s. aid into the troubled nation but president maduro suspects the aid is not what it seems now the mother planted to leave the united states venice with an air france is elliott abrams but in the one nine hundred eighty s. he defended smuggling weapons to nicaraguan rebels which were disco aid

when he was assistant secretary of state after noticing the new restrictions abrams was press the budget washington's current approach to caracas. i'm wondering are you guys meaning the administration at all concerned that and the initial. for lack of a better word excitement over when the recognition is losing something really 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 set a senator who has you know suggested the might need to saying fate is 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 saying forget it. forget it forget the line about any senator i used to do comparisons between with duro and and suggesting that he might meet the fate of gadhafi do that does that help your cause 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 well there's been lots of reaction to this as you may expect the head of american studies at britain's middlesex university says the u.s. is pulling out all the stops to get its way. people even as well absolutely the

million. dollars the pressure from the united states in particular almost exclusively on the military literally. true three years again and again through those who are shown. through that may 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 won't always be fitted but the most is going to score something much more dramatic. like moving on 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 that confucius institutes like transparency and suggest chinese teachers should register as foreign agents and picks up 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. 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 you know 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 right i think the entire world is terrible right now to another four and 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 languages and culture is not going to move the

needle for china in any way they will. gly 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 is 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 we're going to be very critical positions in security and technology areas to 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 pressure to close these institutions. to russia where siberia will be a hot spot of worthless winter sports action for the next couple of weeks. and

a few hours ago russian president vladimir putin kicked things off the official opening ceremony our teens sports correspondent it was their. the twenty nine winter university out is officially open now we witness the colorful opening ceremony in this beautiful brand new complex behind me more than three thousand athletes jammed packing this complex they have come from fifty countries across the world for the third ever university out on this soil no one was held back in soviet days in the russian capital moscow another one was held not so long ago in the

beautiful city of twenty thirteen now for the first time russia holds the winter here in the heart of siberia the city of najaf now in the case of these athletes we're talking about students who are also athletes they haven't made professional career as an athlete yet but they are definitely the future of sports for many countries that's why the representation here is pretty huge we actually went with my cameraman to local you village that's where the athletes live and train and we've seen a very friendly delegations from different countries i would say probably the asian countries have a bigger representation the huge delegation from china big also delegation from kazakhstan from japan and also huge delegations from countries like norway sweden and even canada some trip from across the world to come here to cross and i was going to hot of siberia we spoke to some of these athletes for the experiences here in siberia before you feel very welcome you know after after

a few days here that were adjusted and definitely enjoying the experience it was amazing playing in front of all these chance they're very dedicated very passionate fans and it was amazing to hear them screaming the whole game no matter what it was it was just something i've never experienced as something i'm going to cherish forever it's really surreal to be here in this really amazing because obviously it's a different landscape to will be used to in england and obviously the temperature is a difference a little bit cold as deserves special attention for sure we caught up with. she easy unique at. she is a figure skater from believe it or not the united arab emirates probably the only major figure skater right now in the country but she has managed to reduce it i support in a very certain way she is allowed to wear it job during her performances something that the highest you the federation had to change the rules and they did it for one athlete when now obviously applied to everyone else she talked. about her

experiences here then you go out on her aspirations so. it's the first time my female athlete from the united arab emirates has competed in this discipline and the first time wearing a hit jump this is my first international tournament and winter university and as well if there are any contests in russia i will try to purchase a plate in them throughout a lot of major ice skating events hosted in russia this board is very developed in this country i hope i will come here again and train even in the summer for the next ten days will be witnessing seventy six medals up for grabs here. in the eleven different types of sports that is obviously snowboarding skiing by a. major winter sports. one interesting thing though slogan one of the slogans on the winter is one hundred percent real wind and that's something that has been lacking. because the weather has been pretty warm last three or four

degrees centigrade every day we've seen the slopes where the majority of the competitions will be taking place and there is enough snow so snowboarders and skiers have nothing to worry about obviously we'll be keeping you up to date in the next ten days and how the universe. this week tens of thousands of students skip school in fronts germany belgium to demonstrate over climate change to calling governments to tackle the issue it's part of a growing youth movement which has seen similar action in several other countries too. you know if you're not satisfied with the policies being implemented today and we're mobilizing to show we disagree was what is going on and to ask for a radical and you need to change was here. we are here because the adults aren't doing anything what people say

the youth is the future so i think it's up to us to do something. well activists behind the recent youth led climate protests published an open letter ahead of a global day of action to take place on march the fifteenth they are demanding the citizen makers right around the globe take responsibility and mourn their movement cannot be stopped although the youth strikes for a climate movement is not centrally organized fifteen year old grabber thunderbird has become the poster child of the swedish teenager was one of the first youth activists to publicly raise awareness of climate issues she delivered a speech at the world economic forum in davos addressed the u.n. to climate change conference in poland and also spoke to the e.u. in brussels in fact according to time magazine grabber is among the top twenty five most influential teens of twentieth. we are striking because we have done our

homework and they have known this was and yes we are angry we are angry because the older generations are continue to sealing our future right now and they are continued to doing this and we will not let them do that anymore and despite the youth marches having set up locally some senior politicians suspect a sinister influence from elsewhere being the reason for such crowds. in germany children are now 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 both as the sun did in one straight 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 ministrations are more than spontaneous actions of

solidarity with their client. so is it foreign or get straight to it or people simply wanted to have their fears heard all r.t. got the thought of social and environmental justice come peter george barda and also from journalist john gold. this is clearly being encouraged and i would suggest he even being promoted by left wing snowflake teachers the place for 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 air of sperm to sponsor will nature of your defense which is you think is 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 early word man and have a working on her side because to withdraw their labor you're talking about children children should be going to school less wait agitators like college one of those 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's so much you know polite and 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 political views they can no problem whatsoever but in a week day they should be doing double. math or biology not out on the street you are absolutely failing to engage with the seriousness of this crisis and therefore with the reason only i wouldn't have taken such an exceptional esteve equally that the only thing that children can withdraw in a way that is disruptive and this is the analogy i was showing is their attendance is there exactly and they are children that understand much better than most of us it seems that their future is at stake. we'll check in on the sixteenth consecutive weekend of yellow vests protests and from someone their stories on.

a 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 in a car this or any mars become financially you don't see that the property market any more spend financial you don't see the manufacturing in the u.s. has been exported to china and financial eyes commodified securitized and american as a worker is completely redundant the same as they are around the world so the 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. and with. our see people who are free. in these ways promises.

to their white skin. in the face of the migrant crisis several countries in europe have been building walls and fences against illegal immigration denmark house almost finished the barrier in its border with germany but copenhagen's got a different type of migrant in mind as our europe correspondent peter all over discovered. president trump isn't the only one calling for border walls to be built built that he built that. along a seventy kilometers stretch of jim and 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 close but i don't braise that trump was so concerned about this fence is designed to keep out while the bull. it's to stop the spread of african swine fever from germany into denmark the thing is though the hasn't been one documented case of 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 e.u. ideal of invisible borders. we do not consider this proportionate this is rather counterproductive the danes erecting the fence say they understand the frustration of their chynna 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 aids as the wrong people in denmark and on. you will exports of pig meat from the country said to be worth as much as billion euros not to mention the thousand jobs that make the industry just one case in a while for one case in a domestic pick this enough to close the export so that's what we have fearing when we don't that have been in china and south korea they close the totally export from a country if they don't get their countries written by if you can find feed at the

same happened in the czech republic same as happened in the procurement angry power and for that matter baltic states and we suspect that similar have then what a border barrier or a multi-billion euro ex 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. parlous and other french cities are witnessing yellow vest government marches for the sixth straight week and these are live pictures right now in. sizable turnout in the capital around seven thousand people or so expected so they are throughout the weekend now on friday president again appealing for calm to avoid some of the violence seen in previous weeks it certainly got a little bit larger unimproved yes hours that we're going to live pictures what

began as a grassroots rally over fuel prices has long since broadened into wider anger at the president thing of the economy as we approach darkness in paris we'll be keeping track on the throughout the hours. right it's no secret about hungary's prime minister is not exactly bosom buddies with brussels that appears viktor orban this latest e.u. drive isn't going to lessen the strings or is accused of deliberately distorting facts about the blocs migration policy and the publicity campaign.

thank. you. alex everything you ever wanted to know about the gold standard but were afraid to ask next in the kaiser report.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical of time to sit down and. you know we're number one. in united states we all slow number one. addiction here. how many you shall before.

classes for most. people you so incredibly well you got to we can jump shot in order to excuse it. like a lot in a months almost. a month of abuse so this is somebody that is at the rules for. but i'm sure the cars are in for. yet another journey down the path of truth justice and the global way global global.

hey max i had to hash i trust chain t. shirt on you could actually buy it out there it's available online and it actually has stacey herbert's 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 a moralize on t. shirts and mugs for around the world 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 and 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. .
