the venezuelan vice president talks about the crisis that's been gripping the country for more than a month. u.s. support for the opposition leader and interim president. exporting violence to countries but their plan won't work and so we have decided to protect our country. supposedly the last stronghold in syria. having already declared one hundred percent of the group there a tree had been reclaimed. siberia becomes

a winter sports student athletes from across the world go for gold. chinese language and cultural centers are threatened with both closure and teachers being forced to register as foreign agents across the united states we get reaction from the students. do you feel threatened by existing this china institute where they get language classes and such now something i could imagine china doing i think the entire world. i work for the international live from moscow. thanks for joining us on the program . the venezuelan vice president has told r.t. that american political pressure is doing more harm than good to the country's citizens and accused the washington backed opposition leader of trying to steal the election they'll see rodriguez has been talking in depth to spanish language network. they already 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 a 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 the united states has moved to sanction six venezuelan security forces personnel for preventing convoys of an authorized usaid into the country last week on top of measures against the oil industry as well as other attempts by washington to force

nicolas maduro from office of on his way to has the largest oil reserves in the world u.s. sanctions have blocked seven billion dollars worth of the state owned companies assets to protect itself venezuela ordered the state oil companies european its cue to move to moscow or as president rigorous told us the us is going against international law. it it all when they don't they will in fact the americans are pursuing a predatory policy appropriating venezuela's assets and therefore violating the legitimate interests of our country they violated all existing international investment rules asked for europe where venezuela's accounts were frozen we have already begun to take specific legal steps we hired lawyers to protect our interests primarily with regard to our gold which is now illegally withheld by the bank of england we also began to take measures for venezuela's legal protection we're talking about the theft of the israel and assets which was organized by the united states and venezuela has the right to protect its legitimate interests as

for the transfer of the v.s.e. office from europe to moscow this is connected with the expansion of the corporation for peace of say other branches of the company will also move to moscow . self-proclaimed interim leader who is promising that he will get us aid into the troubled nation president maduro suspects washington's a is what it seems the man appointed to lead the united states for his wayward efforts is that abrams back in the ninety's he defended smuggling weapons the nicaraguan rebels disguised as a when he was assistant secretary of state after announcing the new restrictions was pressed about 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 some

momentum. in giving given the majority of those 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 set a senator who has you know suggested the might meet the 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 everything forget it. forget it forget the line about any senator i used to do comparisons between with doro and and suggesting that he might meet the fate of that offer to 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 and the head of latin american studies at morton's middlesex university says the u.s. is pulling out all the stops to get its own way. people in minutes who are deeply the million. dollars the pressure from the united states in particular almost exclusively on the military literally. could three years again and again through those who are shown shown the scenes and so far nothing goal almost nothing and mr abrams is exactly the person. so this is jane concerned therefore

that confirms not only won't always hit it but the united states is going to source something much more dramatic. u.s. backed forces in syria have launched an assault on what they call the last i still held area near the iraqi border artie's arabic channel has been to document life right now in the village of bugged. let me mention a bit alameddine seventy seven are some of the deadliest. some of these even any. one. of them are the one. in the. election that.

was. never a daemon it had the same demo and a diet short of the. day diet should be and we do g.m. does that it does model dilution here while i'm for can you go on enough let me know if you mean at least demi l.b. no dystonia are the village of buy booze has been a hot spot for the syrian democratic forces for several weeks they say hundreds of civilians withdrew from the area just the day before the attack most were shorter and women some of whom have given birth while married to myself fighters the syrian democratic forces spokesman claims the operation will be swift. b.s.t. have spin advancing on two fronts into dire shelled territory since yesterday evening heavy clashes are taking place at the moment three s.t.'s fighters are wounded so far no information on isis casualties yet we expected to be over soon

the author of inside syria reese erlich talked to me earlier he thinks the u.s. overestimate its role in defeating islamic state especially after donald trump had already declared its mission complete just a few days ago. we just took over you know you can't do. it was ninety percent ninety two percent the caliphate in syria now it's one hundred percent we just took over one hundred percent caliphate that means the area the land we just have a hundred percent that as usual president trump is playing fast and loose with the truth and he's censored things and i was interesting to me that he said we have taken back control i think there's a strong view in washington that the u.s. is now controlling parts of syria not something that either the s.d.f. or the syrian people are interested in having long term the us didn't hasn't defeated completely anyone the problem is it's even if it is defeated as

a force controlling actual territory it has its origins as a terrorist group training suicide bombers having small cell actions the danger is that they go back to what they were originally doing and carry out these kinds of terrorist attacks which are very difficult to stop i think trumps instincts are to pull troops out of syria and afghanistan in order to ratchet up u.s. aggression in places like iran and venezuela you can't continue to occupy other countries indefinitely when the people of those countries don't want you there and that certainly the situation in both syria and in afghanistan stay tuned each day there could be a new development that's the thing about the trip administration. a sub area will be a hot spot of world class winter sports action for the next couple of weeks.

on saturday evening russian president vladimir putin kicked things off at the official opening ceremony auntie's sports correspondent alexei you know chef ski was that. the twenty nine winter universidad is officially open now we witnessed a 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 careers as an athlete yet but they are definitely the future of sports for many countries that's why the representation here is pretty cute we actually went with my cameraman to a 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 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 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 temperature is the difference a little bit colder than. one of the athletes who have come here to the winter university out in crossly as deserves special attention for sure we caught up with . she easy unique athlete. she is a figure skater 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 sport in a very certain way she is allowed to wear it job during her performances something that the 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 hitch up this is my first international tournament and winter university as well if there are any conscious in russia i will try to pretty support 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. eleven different types of sports that is obviously snowboarding skiing. and all other major winter sports. one interesting thing though the slogan one of the slogans on the winter university out here is one hundred percent real wind and that's something that has been lacking to a certain extent here because the weather has been pretty warm last three plus 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 on how the university here in the heart of siberia goes. tension between india and pakistan shows no sign of abating at least eight people have been killed as fighting on the border continues. indian troops targeted villages along the line of control in kashmir six of the reportedly civilians the standoff between india and pakistan has escalate. dramatically since a terror attack on an indian police convoy killed at least forty offices last month .

south asian politics and security experts are melinda misra told us he believes there are internal and also external factors preventing a swift and peaceful solution. and what we are seeing at the moment is the low intensity conflict on the ground and he she is going to go on so what you need to remember here is that although the pakistani prime minister region the indian catching do with the press he's personally coming from the united states saudi arabia and united states which kind of forced pakistan to take the point you said

that it took in fact the pakistani military establishment is not entirely obvious that this how could neither of these parties want to go down the peace and 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 that box from which to give it to claxon under my list in the forthcoming election. border barriers going up between germany and denmark will tell you exactly why i just thought of this short break. on the alex i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics or

business i'm show business i'll see you then. the folks who print the money when they want more money they just print more money they don't rely on what they don't see than the car this or any more it's become financial you don't see that the property market any more spend financial eyes you don't see manufacturing in the us has been exported to china and financial lives commodified securitized. american as a worker is completely redundant the same as they are all around the world so the wages are 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. and chinese language and cultural centers could face closure in the united states

senate reports allegedly allegedly being used by beijing to influence the minds of the public the documents also claims the confucius institute takes 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 no 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 idea i think the entire world the world is terrible right now better for it also but 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 people. gly in terms of how people see china the claim from the us in a 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 are changing challenges 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 to companies military commercial everything the question is do they need the confucius institutes to continue their mission probably because these institutes. other public pressure on the embattled israeli prime minister hundreds of gathered in tel aviv calling for him to resign this follows thursday's announcement by the attorney general that he

plans to indict benjamin netanyahu over claims of bribery breach of trust and fraud a rival crowd in support of the problem is there's also reportedly gathered in the city and i'm asking you who denies all the charges against him calling it a political witch hunt it's also quite sensitive timing as he's trying to win a fifth term in office in election two in. the in the face of the modern crisis several countries in europe have been building walls and fences against illegal no has got a different type of migrant in mind as our europe correspondent peter all of a discovered. 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 don't like this one is close to finishing only technically it's really

a fence. so who is this wall designed to keep out not racists not murderers not drug smugglers not even foes but on brace 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 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 their chynna neighbors but insist that it's necessary.

that the states 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 wrong people in denmark and yet none. you will exports of big meat from the countryside to be worth as much as. heroes not to mention the thousand jobs that make the industry just one case in the wild for one creation or domestic peace there's enough to close the export so that's why we have to totally export from

a country if they know it's their country it's written by african swine fever the same happened to little czech republic same has happened in the ability of an angry owner and for that matter the expats and we suspect that the symbol apple then what a border barrier or 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 has come out to help us eleven here in moscow thanks for staying tuned here not international of back in just thirty minutes with more global news updates see that.

you know we're number one. we all slow number one. how many. times. you got a jump shot. among . the rules. maybe if to put more into the system might. be a living in the world it's like a room. we

need to put. but i'm sure the cars are in for. sure yet another journey down the path of truth justice and the global way global globalized. hey max i had to. 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 immortalized on t. shirts and mugs from around the world you know what else is the mortal 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 diversity big currency system changes that happened in one nine hundred seventy one if u.s. wants to win trade war got to fix the u.s. dollar system and luke roman provides a link to this chart from the washington post and 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 thousand nine hundred eighty 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 deficit it's also important to note that we've been talking about warren buffett in his annual letter and all his earnings reports you know he's he's down big time twenty five billion in the last year it's also important to note that he says he keeps on pointing to one thousand nine hundred two is when it hit the first time he bought shares in that have graded.
