converging and they converted to 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. the venezuelan vice president speaks to you about the crisis that's gripping the country for more than a month she shares her thoughts on u.s. support for the opposition leader. interim president. violence two countries but their plan won't work and we have decided to protect our country. also this hour of chinese language and cultural centers of threatened with both closure and teachers being forced to register as foreign agents across the united states we get reaction from students. do you feel threatened by existing this china institute where they get language classes and such now that's something i could imagine china doing i think the entire world. siberia

becomes a winter sport student athletes from around the world go for gold at university twenty nineteen. and i welcome to our team to national life from nine pm here in the russian capital hawkins welcome to the program. now the venezuelan vice president has told ought to you that american political pressure is doing more harm than good to the country's citizens accuse the washington backed opposition leader of trying to steal the election. has been talking in-depth spanish language 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 in 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 put it not submit to their wishes instructions and interests specifically venezuela east threaten every day there is a right wing extremist movement there previously try 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 extremist group you know it is they move to sanctions six venezuelan security forces personnel for preventing convoys of authorize the u.s.

aid 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 who want to go door is promising that he will get u.s. aid into the troubled nation president maduro suspects that aid is not quite what it seems of amount appointed to leave the united states for his weight and efforts is elliott abrams back in the identies he defended smuggling weapons to nicaraguan rebels disguised as aides when he was assistant secretary of state. in the new restrictions abrams was pressed about washington's current approach to caracas and wondering are you. in the administration at all concerned that the initial. for lack of a bit. the 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

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 related to that. there is one member of congress in particular set a senator who has suggested that madeira might meet the saying 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 saying 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 the 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 the head of latin american studies at britain's middlesex university says the u.s. is putting out all the stops to get its way. people in little pressure from the united states in particular almost exclusively on the military literally. three years again and again through those who are shown. that maybe you name it got those words what is it going on beyond the scenes and so far they go almost nothing and mr abrams is exactly. right so this is jane concerned therefore that confirms not only won't always fit it is going to school

something much more dramatic. china's language and cultural centers could face closure in the united states after a senate report alleging they're being used by beijing to influence the minds of the public the document also claims the confucius institutes lack transparency and suggests trying to teachers should register as foreign agents kayleigh more pain has more. 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 this crime 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 with a good language classes and such you know 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 co-creating propaganda here i have no right i think the entire world is terrible right now to the other 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 politically in terms of how people see china the claim from the u.s. in a report is propagating. the propaganda chinese surprise right have a world view that 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 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 the security and technology areas companies military commercial everything the question is do they need to confucius institutes to continue that mission and probably they don't my expectation going forward is that

the u.s. will continue put pressure to close these institute. siberia will be a hot spot of wealth last winter sports action for the next couple of weeks. or a. ground. or an. elaborate. regard. or attack. or attack. on saturday evening russian president vladimir putin kicked things off at the official opening ceremony sports correspondent alexei unicef he was there. the twenty nine winter universidad 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 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. with my cameraman to local you village that's where the athletes live and train and we've seen 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 for all these fans to tell their 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 time share is the difference a little bit colder than. one of the athletes so if come here to the winter you need to see out in costly as deserves special attention for show we caught up with . she easing the biggest problem believe it or not the united arab emirates probably the. only major figure skating right now in the country but she has managed to reduce sport in a very certain way she is allowed to wear it job during her performances something

that the highest through the federation had to change the rules and they did it for one athlete while now obviously applied to everyone else she talked about her experiences here then you got to add in 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 conscious in russia i will try to participate in them there are a lot of major ice skating events hosted in russia this sport 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 sets of medals up for grabs here. in the eleven different types of sports that is obviously snowboarding skiing biathlon curling and all other major winter sports. one interesting thing though the slogan

one of the slogans of the winter is one where there 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 now the university here in the heart of siberia those. tensions between india and pakistan show no sign of abating at least eight people have been killed as fighting along the border continues pakistan says indian troops targeted villages alongside the laws of control in kashmir six of the dead are reportedly civilians the standoff between india and pakistan has escalated dramatically since a terror attack on an indian police convoy killed at least forty officers last month.

a south asian politics and security experts and melinda misra told us he believes there are internal and also external factors which are preventing a swift and peaceful solution what we are seeing at the moment is the low intensity conflict on the ground and this is going to go on so what you need to remember here is that although the pakistani prime minister region the indian captured pilot. there's a lot of history at the high end that that has to do with that which kind of forced pakistan to take the criticism that it took in fact the pakistani military

establishment is not entirely obvious that these have peace in pakistan the army has the state so that is a military establishment which is their whole walk in india we have a nationalist in divided his own party who choose craving for some kind of confrontation at foxconn which would give it to claxon under my list in the forthcoming election thousands of students stage will crowd to europe to highlight the dangers of climate change we'll have more of that story and others after this short break.

what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to press. you to do like to be close it's like i'm up for three of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the lawyers in my. case it may. all come back to the program this week tens of thousands of students skipped school

across france germany and belgium to demonstrate over climate change and to call on governments to tackle the issue as part of a growing youth movement which is seen similar action in several other countries. you know we're not satisfied with this policy has been known to be a very lovely lace and to show we disagree was what is going on and to ask for a radical any need to. hear. the youth is the future so i think it's up to us to do something. activists behind the recent youth led climate protests published an open letter head of a global day of action on march the fifteenth they demand that decision makers around the globe take responsibility and more their movement cannot be stopped now although the youth strikes for climate movement is not centrally organized sixteen year old grettir burke has become the poster child of the movement 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 she also addressed the un at a climate change conference in poland and also spoke to the e.u. in brussels in fact according to time magazine quote as among the top twenty five most influential teens of twenty eighty we are striking because we have done our homework and they have known it. was. there yes we are angry we are angry because the older generations continue to sealing our future right now and they are continue doing this and we will not let them do that anymore despite the youth marches having been set up locally some senior politicians suspect they seen the 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 i was protest i know who is behind this movement both as the sun 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 or ministrations are more than spontaneous actions of solidarity with their client so is this all orchestrated or people simply wanting to have their fears heard or to go to thoughts of social and environmental justice campaign of george botha and journalist john galt. 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 and during term time is in the classroom if they want to get involved in politics that's great but this is clearly being orchestrated and 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 and the idea that on the line because we delayed action for so long the idea that spending snowflakes i just think is missing the point entirely children need to understand the facts if they want to have political views they can no problem whatsoever but in a week they should be doing double math or biology not out on the streets it's a bit like saying people should go to work so why have a strike if 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 undersized leave because to withdraw their labor you're talking about children it's called a school steroid and the girl that conceived it was her way of interacting the same kind of withholding of labor which in this case of us is not labor for money because she's a child she'd always win why it's so much you know polite and you understand she understood your catering for a start we had nothing to do with making this happen at all at all but you are

absolutely failing to engage with the seriousness of this crisis and therefore with the reason only holden has taken such an exceptional estie. equally that the only thing that children can withdraw in a way that is disruptive and this is the analogy of the shearing if you will is there a time that is there exactly and they are children that understand much better than most of us it seems that their future is at stake i want them to see both sides of the argument kids need to have both sides say you to maintain. dialectic so they can make their own decisions this is kids on facebook that are networks and they have done it for themselves i know people my own mind it's difficult to understand the children have that level of agents that you absolutely they know about is that . what the government has you know when please let me see please let me finish it's important to realize that children are perfectly capable seeing the giant gulf between the action that is being taken on climate change which is nowhere near what

all the authorities on this say is required and what is actually happening. now in the face of the migrant crisis several countries in europe have been building walls and fences against illegal immigration that mark has also almost finished a barrier on its border with germany but copenhagen's got a different type of migrant in mind as our europe correspondent speeds 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 two of the structure jim. wilson says. unlike. this one he's placed a figure who is this wall designed to keep out not racists not murderers not drug smugglers not even phased by i don't braise that trump was so concerned about this fence is designed to keith out while the bull.

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 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. 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 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 that's twice as many as the old people in denmark and the manual exports of big meat from the country said to be worth as much as fifty and. in the heroes not so mention the 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 your parent in china and south korea they close by feel the same happened in czech republic same has happened in both yemen angry over and for that matter talk states and we suspect that the signal that will denmark 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. join us again in thirty minutes for the latest good news headlines what's wrong with the international. you know we're number one movie capital in united states we all slow number one her way to do. how many also so much you shall before. classes for most. people you selling crack rock or you got a weekend jump shot in order to exclaim. you

got to act like a lion amongst all the one. piece of the beast so this is somebody will look. at the rules for. best geysers survival guide book stacie just like walt going to start settling at the federal reserve. he should've been there you don't forget him. oh heck no. repatriations he would get arrested seven years. philip is that was kaiser report. globalization lost its moral compass it may be if to put more values into the system my christian opinion is we have to a strength by two national institutions living in the dark ruled it's like

them. having always you know all action and come to action there and so we need to put back to the system. i. this is boom bust broadcasting around the world and covering the world of business and finance and the impact on us all i'm daniel brito here in washington filling in for bart chilton we're glad you're on board coming up today the truck came summit in vietnam may have come up a bit short of what some had expected but that doesn't mean it won't have an impact alex mahela bitch and steve malzberg join us to discuss what kind of market moves we can expect to see the lead so to finance on we are slain a p w c helps us

analyze the future of ten sec. and finally trade tensions are causing some people's bank accounts to take a beating and it's causing troubles related to trash. all of that directly ahead but first we had some headlines let's go. to a remarkable reversal on the issue of elicit international money flows leads our global report today as the european commission blocks the blacklisting a saudi arabia and four u.s. territories in the fight against financial crime as we reported here the european commission previously recommended that twenty three countries and territories including saudi arabia and for unincorporated territories of the united states money laundering and alyssa transfers butt. the commission was handed a staggering defeat on thursday night as representatives of twenty seven of twenty eight e.u. nations oppose the commission's recommended additions that commission's expressed concerns about the listing process and member states on the way forward reportedly

took place earlier today. and speaking of dirty money there is corruption news out of liberia where three former leaders of the african nation central bank have been arrested in the disappearance of liberian banknotes worth roughly sixteen point five million dollars.
