we need to put a system and we need stronger leadership and. venezuelan vice president talks to r t about the crisis that has been gripping the country for more than a month sharing her thoughts on u.s. support for the opposition leader and the self declared interim president. countries but their plan won't work and we have to protect our country. us back fighters launched an assault on what is said to be the last stronghold in syria despite having already declared one hundred percent of the group's territory

. and siberia becomes a. student athletes from around the world go for gold at university two thousand one hundred. 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 students. do you feel threatened by existing this china institute where they give language classes and such. that's something i could imagine china doing i think the entire world. glad to have you with us. and the venezuelan vice president has told you that american political pressure is doing more harm than good to the country's citizens and accused of the washington backed opposition leader of a trying to steal the election very guess has been talking in-depth to r.t. spanish language network. he's arguing though the us uses fake financial help in

order to overthrow the governments of other countries than 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 did not submit to their wishes instructions and interests specifically venezuela east africa day. the u.s. has moved to sanctions six venezuelan security forces personnel for preventing convoys of. an authorized us aid into the country last week that is on top of measures against the oil industry and other attempts by washington to force nicolas

maduro from office of venezuela 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 headquarters to move to moscow vice president robert gibbs told us the u.s. is going against international law. it all what they don't like they will in fact the americans are pursuing a predatory policy appropriating venezuela's assets and therefore violating the legitimate interests of our country violates all existence international investment groups ask them as well as accounts of terms and we have already begun to take specific legal steps we hire the years to protect our interests primarily with regard to our gold which is now illegal held by the main clue that we also began to take measures for of in these wells legal protection we're talking about the theft of things well and assets which was organized by the united states and venezuela

has the right to protect its legitimate interests asked for the transfer of the d.v.s. a office from europe to moscow and this is connected with the expansion of the complications from russian company in there to the energy and if you look at oil and gas together with the european office of d.b.s. other branches of the continent 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 eight is not what it seems the man appointed to lead the united states venezuelan efforts is elliott abrams back in the one nine hundred eighty s. he defended smuggling weapons to nicaraguan rebels disguised as a when he was assistant secretary of state after announcing the new restrictions abrams was pressed about washington's current approach to caracas. i'm wondering are you guys meaning the 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 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 related to that. there is one member of congress in particular set a senator who has you know suggested that madeira 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

or you it's to do comparisons between would duro and and suggesting that he might meet the fate of gadhafi 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 are they had of latin american studies at britain's middlesex university says the u.s. is pulling out all stops to get its way. people in venice were deeply the military signal i n c so strong that pressure from the united states in particular almost exclusively on the minute she literally. could three years again and again through those who are shown. that maybe 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 the way to always be fitted by the united states going to school something much more dramatic. u.s. backed forces in syria have launched an assault on what they call the last i saw held area near the iraqi border artie's arabic channel got a glimpse of life in the city of course. let me let me just say one thing i saw. some of the.

other. day men of the had this and a million day diet short of the. day diet should be anyway due to gender that it dies mahanagar they did that for can go on enough and then they have to. be no. or the village of bugaboos has been a hotspot for the syrian democratic forces for several weeks they say hundreds of civilians withdrew from the area a day before the attack most were children and women some of whom gave birth while married to i saw fighters in democratic forces spokes person claims that the operation will be swift and. speed advancing on two fronts into di i shall

territory since yesterday evening heavy clashes are taking place at the moment three s.t.'s fighters wounded so far no information on isis casualties yet we expected to be over soon the author of inside syria research eldritch. dr to us earlier he thinks that the us overestimates its role in defeating islamic state especially after donald trump had already declared its mission completed just days ago. we just took over you know you kept hearing 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 saturate 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 care of 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. siberia

will play host to to some world class winter sports action for the next couple of weeks thousands of athletes will be competing for medals in this year's university . on saturday evening russian president vladimir putin kicked things off at the official opening ceremony r t sports correspondent alexis share of. ski was there. 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 every unit of this soil now 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 you're going to hear about students who are also athletes they have and i'm a professional going to countries that's why the representation here is pretty huge we actually went with my camera and the 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. after after a few days here that were just definitely enjoying the experience it was amazing playing football the stance you get. 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 be used to in england and. it's. one of the. to the winter you need. special attention for sure we caught up with. she is a 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 an ice sport in a very certain way she is allowed to wear he 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. 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 and as well if there are any conscious in russia i will try to participate 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. and all of the 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 hold. 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. more people have been killed on saturday as clashes between india and pakistan show no sign of coming to a halt on that after a break you're watching. look

. what i see images and hear things what they're doing. i see people who are afraid now see these young women in these white supremacist groups and i see those i see really scared. scared they lose it. all they have the whole or that is the color of their skin that's all they have going for themselves because they're white skin.

this is our international paris and other french cities have witnessed yellow vest anti government marches for the sixteenth straight weekend police have deployed tear gas to disperse protesters. well saturday saw another sizable turnout official estimates say around forty thousand people took part in the marches across the country including four thousand in paris on friday president mccollum again a peel the for call me to avoid some of the violence seen in previous weeks police

used water cannons against to the protesters and made some arrests but once again as a grassroots rally over fuel prices has long since have broadened into wider anger at the president's handling of the because. of the capacity they should at least meet one of our demands to show they are listening to us that we are not doing this for nothing that fuel prices are rising and they were supposed to be frozen employer prices are increasing in the supermarkets to ensure ten percent on products it's the opposite of what we want. well that's what we want them to give the purchasing power back to the people at the lower fat on essential crowd is the grandest the citizens initiative referendum those are the two essential demands as long as they don't give us that we will not stop. time such as this that people in difficult in this people who have

a hot time surviving on past salaries i think off constant and. to call masses the masses against police violence i have many different messages. oh. tensions between india and pakistan shows no sign of abating at least eight people have been killed as fighting along the border continues pakistan says indian troops targeted villagers along the line 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 that killed at least forty officers last month. the.

south asian politics and security expert then do a misra believes there are internal and external factors preventing a quick solution what we are seeing at the moment is the low intensity conflict on the ground on the sea is going to go on so what you need to remember here is that although the pakistani prime going to study in the indian captured pilot. that is a moment of history if the hind that i am back has to do with the phrase he's personally

coming from the united states saudi arabia and united states which kind of forced pakistan to take the course you said that it took in fact the pakistani military establishment is not entirely oppy 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 law and india we have a nationalist. party which is craving for some kind of confrontation that box from which you give it to claxon under my list in the forthcoming election. there is mounting public pressure on israel's and battled prime minister hundreds have gathered in tel aviv calling for him to resign it follows thursday's announcement by the attorney general that it plans to indict benyamin netanyahu all the claims of bribery breach of trust and fraud in iraq crowd in support of the prime minister has also reportedly gathered in the city and yahoo denies all the charges against

him calling it a political witch and it is also sensitive timing as he is trying to win a fifth term in office in elections due in the early. china is the language and cultural centers that could face closure in the. senate report alleged they are being used by beijing to influence the minds of the public document also claims the confucius institutes a lack transparency and suggests chinese teachers should register as foreign agents to secure a mop and comments. 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'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. i think the entire world just terrible right now to the other four and 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 in languages and culture is not going to move the needle for china in any way polluted. we 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 in bed it all over the united states for decades there are so many chinese and united states working to bury

critical positions in security. technology areas 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 the u.s. will continue put pressure to close these institute doesn't for me i will be back with more news you're watching international. that's geysers line at a little. closer to this it was a central plank support diet elements i don't call them right now so stop. globalization lost its moral compass and maybe we have to put more values into the system and my personal opinion is we have to strengthen by two national

multilateral institutions now we're living in a dog eat dog world it's like lucy was skiing having always you know all action and come to action there so we need to put value spec to the system and we need stronger leadership and better leadership. role model for sixteen. but it's. just. a form of isis fighters. boarding a philippine naval ship. with a. failed.

plan but the fall of the net and lying on the beach. just far right up to the still don't know what's waiting for them. to. be here and i like to. see. the picket out. of the. wrong redacted at night is the comedy show where americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents thank you for being here with us it's an

exciting time folks is saying time we are being lied into war yet again which might sound bad but it's much better than being lied into a bad threesome all right so at least we have that going in a moment i'll go through the top four times americans were lied into wars but let's first talk about this past weekend violence broke out on the venezuelan border with colombia in a staged photo op courtesy of our american president well american government how do you know it was a staged photo. because richard branson was at the front of it all right good you know one sign you're not looking at a real grassroots uprising when a billionaire with a snobby accent is leading it he's he's got eighty billion dollars and he's delivering a sack of mangoes to feed a million venis well and i don't think. furthermore furthermore sen marco

rubio and coup leaders claimed the venezuelan national guard burned a u.s. aid trucks on the bridge in colombia but all available evidence points in the opposite direction but that's not the end of the face diarrhea spread by c.n.n. and as n.b.c. and fox there's also things like the venezuelan people have nothing they don't even have to have guys they don't know live without toothpaste is alive dollar i live in a. well here's journalist max blumenthal this past week and caracas venezuela and you can see behind me is toothpaste which c.n.n. has said it's just not exist in venezuela and what is on the plane or basic goods things that aren't available or accessible in venezuela things like nutritional biscuits toothpaste toothbrushes just basic commodities that aren't available oh thank you all not. take this as

a sacrifice oh boy no one had gone to venture. out of all of the down to strip. overseer of advisors. now it's all boiled right it's all blown. this. but this is not the first time our lovely government in our media have conspired to lie us into war so let's go through the top four times americans have been lied.
