lou. vice president talks about the crisis that has been. the opposition leader interim president. mileages to countries but their plan won't work and we have decided to protect our country. launch 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 retaken.

athletes from around the world go for gold in. two thousand one thousand eight. hundred cultural. and being forced to register as foreign agents across the united states we get the reaction from students. do you feel threatened by existing this china institute with a good language classes and such. that's something i could imagine china doing i think the entire world. are broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is. certainly glad to have you with us. 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. position leader of trying to steal the

election delsea rodriguez has been talking in spanish language network. he certainly we know 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 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 the 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 threatened by day the u.s. has moved to sanctions six venezuelan security forces personnel for preventing

convoys of unauthorized u.s. 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 in venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world you want to protect itself venezuela ordered the state oil companies european h.q. to move to moscow vice president rodriguez 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 existence 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 things its legitimate interests as for the

transfer of the p.d. vs a office from europe to moscow this is connected with the expansion of the corporation also a russian company in the ground there and the feel of oil and gas together with the european office of say other branches of the company will also move to moscow. will self proclaimed interim leader who is promising that he will get u.s. aid into the troubled nation president maduro suspects washington aid is not what it seems and here is why the man appointed to lead the united states of venezuelan efforts is elliott abrams back in the one nine hundred eighty s. he defended smuggling weapons to nicaragua rebels disguised as aid when he was assistant secretary of state after announcing that the new restrictions abrams was pressed about washington's current approach is to caracas and wondering are you meeting 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 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 losing momentum and then such and relieve that. there is one member of congress in particular set a senator who has suggested that might need to saying feet as i get 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 use to do comparisons between would duro and and suggesting that he might meet the fate of

gadhafi do that does that help your. 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 that the u.s. is pulling out all the stops to get its way. people even a sort of stately the minute she sees you go out and see so strong the pressure from the united states in particular almost exclusively again through those close shown. through blackmail you name it got those words what is it going on behind the scenes i'm so far they got almost nothing and mr abrams is actually the first

implosion to get these organized so this is jane concerned therefore that confirms not only the way to always be defeated by the united states going to the source 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 village of. less than a but i let me just say one thing i saw in the devil's time with you he said some of the cd for the hell even. remember one. of them oh. yeah. and the name.

of the. day he dies for being we do jim desert dies my mother valid you did that for can you go on and let me have to mean i don't. understand 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. democratic forces spokesman claims the operation will be swift. s.d.f. speed advancing on two fronts into di i shall territories since yesterday evening heavy clashes are taking place at the moment three s.d.f. fighters wounded so far no information on isis casualties yet we expected to be over soon. the author of inside syria reese spoke with us earlier he thinks the

u.s. overestimates its role in defeating islamic state especially after donald trump had already declared it mission complete just a couple 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 in trouble 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's 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 of the most world class when a sports action for the next couple of weeks thousands of athletes will be competing for medals in this year's.

on saturday evening a russian president vladimir putin kicked things off at the official opening ceremony artie's sports correspondent alexei archie was there. but 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 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 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 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 grass 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 adjusted and definitely enjoying the experience it was

amazing playing football these chance you can tell 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 useful to. one of the athletes who have come here to the winter you know to see out in costly 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 it i support in a very certain way she is allowed to wear he job during her performances something 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 talks. about her experiences here then you go out on her aspirations 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 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 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 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. china's

language and cultural centers could face closure in the u.s. after a senate report alleged they are being used by beijing to influence the minds of the public the documents also claims teachers should register as foreign agents 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 are 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 give 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 i think the entire world right now better for it also bemoaned the fact that the confucian 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 propaganda propaganda chinese surprise surprise have a world view that is different than americans be a director testified to the senate that these are also acting as. intelligence collection agencies 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 security and technology areas to companies military commercial everything the question is do they need the 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 institutes. tension between india and

pakistan shows that 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 have a standoff between india and pakistan has escalated dramatically since a terror attack on an indian police convoy killed at least forty officers last month.

and south asian politics and security expert amal than do misra believes that 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 and the sea is going to go on so what you need to remember here is that all do all of the pakistani prime minister region the indian captured pilot ecclesiastes that is a moment of history at the high end that and that has to do with the prez he's personally coming from the united states saudi arabia and united i mean it's kind of forced pakistan to stick with what you said that it ought to in fact the pakistani military establishment is not entirely oppy that these have and neither of these parties want to and it's meant to be to use their whole walk on india we haven't lost at least in divide his own party who choose craving for some kind of

content is not boxed from which you give it to claxon under my list in the forthcoming election. paris and other french cities have witnessed yellow vest anti-government marches for the sixteenth straight weekend police have deployed tear gas to disperse the protesters. saturday saw another sizable turnout official estimates say around forty thousand people took part in marches across the country including four thousand in paris on

friday president micron again appealed for calm to avoid some of the violence seen in previous weeks the police used water cannons against the protesters and made some arrests what once it began as a grassroots rally over feel prices has long since broadened into wider anger at the president's handling of the economy. a class that 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 where all the 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 the central cloud is the greatest the citizens initiative referendum those are the two essential demands as long as they don't give us that we. think through the success of

this that people in difficult times people who have a hard time surviving and asked how honest i think they are constant and. a message and as police violence i have many different messages. in the face of europe's migrant crisis several countries have been building walls and fences against illegal immigration denmark has almost finished a barrier on its border with germany but copenhagen says a different kind or has a different kind of migrant in mind as our european correspondent peter oliver discovered. president trump isn't the only one calling for border walls to be built built that he built that way ah. seventy kilometers straight to jim in order to see the same thing. only. 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 those bad old days 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 jimmy into denmark thing is though it hasn't been one documented case over the 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. visible border. we do not consider this proportion and this is rather counterproductive the danes erecting the fence say they understand the frustration of that you and the neighbors but insist that it's

necessary. but they. said that this is. there have been outbreaks of african swine fever in belgium on the 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 so there's twice as many cases as the wrong people in denmark in the manual exports of pig meat from the country said to be worth as much as billion euros not to mention thirty thousand jobs wrecking the industry just one case in a while for one case in

a domestic pig this enough to close the export so that's what we have been fearing when we don't that the parent in china and south korea they close. socially export from a country if they know it's a country stricken by african swine fever the same. topic same as happened in both yemen angry over and for that matter baltic states and we suspect that that's 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. doesn't for mail be a bag of headlines in what's a thirty three and a half minute stay with us. after

the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next that multiple different clubs on one hand it is logical to sit in the home fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective and i'm used to surprising us all why not if you think. i'm going to talk about football nazi or else you can think i was going to go. by the way ways of the slide here. dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime happens each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent in the world markets close to thirty

percent some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and if we rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers over. the only number you need to remember in one one business show you know bored to miss one and only boom box. what i see images and hear things what they're doing. i see people who are afraid not see these young men and some women in the white supremacist groups and i see those i see really scared too. scared to be losing. it all they have no law and it is the color of their skin that's all they have going for themselves to their white skin.

most folks don't like the truth. we're living in a generation. then. is confused just as it relates to the truth. and the truth is mitt so build up. donald j. trump say is. sweet. whatever he feels like saying. tweeting to his own. destruction. ya need to hit me today. just because you say what's on your mind then what you feel does not mean that you are

a good still would over the truth. if you from some weird secret service brought in itself would be always surprised if some weirdo so if you google from university a pang can't be the university on forty fifth street and you could make one shine you know on the bottom you want to get it if you got a project.
