who. was. out. was. another turbulent week for venezuela both russian and american resolutions to resolve the country's crisis fail at the un security council while washington's economic pressure problems practice to transfer the european h.q. of its main oil firm to moscow. france sees a sixteenth weekend straight of yellow vest unrest with police resorting to tear gas and water cannon. and u.s. president donald trump a north korean leader kim jong un hold their second summit failed to reach

a deal on denuclearization accusing each other of making unreasonable demands. you're watching the week here on r.t. international live from our moscow studio with me and india today welcome to the program. this week saw fresh clashes on the border between those well in colombia as tensions over american aid deliveries intensify and israel and president nicholas materials says the shipments could be carrying weapons and has banned them from entering the country and international efforts to end the crisis of stalled with the u.n. security council rejecting both russian and u.s. draft resolutions. by voting against this resolution some members of this council continue to shield his cronies and prolong the suffering of the venezuelan people the time for a peaceful transition to democracy is now they're going to use them with us mind we

have reached the culmination of the american workers treated double standards show over venezuela washington and london have both again robbed an entire nation of billions of dollars in the same time or pushing them to accept a pittance due to regime change as they say you first of all create great humanitarian problems and then you call upon the whole world to solve them we look forward to genuinely free and fair elections. and to a government that reflects the will and aspirations of the venezuelan people. you have to do is vote is an excellent example of one of the veto rule is necessary for protecting the peace and people's right to determine their future both the russian and the u.s. resolutions didn't pass the voting in the un security council the russian one got less votes in favor that against four in favor and seven against the us draft was vetoed by russia and china the russian ambassador said that if the u.s. resolution had passed it would be the first case in history that the united nations

security council deposed a legitimate leader and imposed another one to a sovereign country the venezuelan representative spoke as well calling to stop interfering in the matters of his country the power to this will has to do with having a swelling sovereignty i live in a swamp people they behave like colonial east they are planning a plan this time the peroration against it it's what i write out the same kind of. force at the same time they are just feeding out of money this is something outrageous indeed so the diplomatic community in the crossroads again the u.n. as steve members who spoke after the voting called it to all of their colleagues to put their differences aside to resolve the venezuelan crisis reporting in new york treated each other as r.t. meanwhile hundreds of activists have rallied in the spanish capital madrid in support of venezuelan president nicolas maduro demonstrators wave banners reading hands off by this whaler and denounce what they see as an attempt by the united states to intervene in another country's internal affairs alfred designers who

visited this well as a un twenty seventeen says the u.s. is likely to escalate the situation. quite clear to me that the united states is waging war on international law now that trump does that does not surprise me question is what will the. international crises in pristine be for the united. states will the united states take the risk of a flagrant aggression against. there is a danger of violence it should be the function of the united nations to prevent that. washington has its sights on venezuela's oil reserves the largest in the world u.s. sanctions have already blocked seven billion dollars worth of state and assets to protect itself venezuela or to the state all companies european h.q.

to move to moscow vice president has told us about the decision. it all there 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 been these wells legal protection we're talking about the theft of these 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 v.s.e. office from europe to moscow this is connected with the expansion of the corporation for russian company in the field of energy and the fuel of oil and gas together with the european office of. other branches of the company will also move

to moscow the u.s. has also cancelled the visas of forty nine i miss weyland representatives aligned with president or it says that anyone who steals from the by this when the people undermines democracy is not welcome in the united states francisco as head of latin american studies at london's biggest sex university says the u.s. is pulling out all the stops to achieve its goal in venezuela. people in venezuela particularly the military civic alliance the soldiers drawn the pressure from the united states in particular almost exclusively on the military literally as crew three years again and again through those who are shown. through blackmail you name it got those words where's it going on behind the scenes as all farming go almost nothing in the low these raises the specter or something. which can be organized irregular forces and trained and organized

and mr abrams is exactly the. right so this is jane concerned therefore that confirms not only won't always defeated the united states going to school something much more dramatic. for the sixteenth straight weekend paris and other french cities witnessed yellow pressed anti-government martyrs on saturday clashes erupted at some of the demonstrations with police deploying take us and water cannon to disperse protesters.

according to official estimates around forty thousand people took part in march as nationwide four thousand of them in paris on friday president emanuel my colleague and the pail for calm urging people to refrain from engaging in the kind of fall it's seen in previous week's face made a number of arrests on saturday what began as a grassroots rally of a feel prices since broadened too wide to anger at the president's handling of the economy. because 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 prices are increasing in the supermarkets to ten percent on products it's the opposite of what we want. we want them to give the purchasing power back to the people at the lower fat on essential crowder's the grandest the citizens initiative referendum those are the

two essential demands as long as they don't give us that we will stop. such as this that people in difficult split will have a hard time surviving on gas salaries i finished off and on. a massive gas police violence i have many different messages. was. this thursday. u.s. president donald trump and north korea's leader kim jong un with their news and thousands of journalists descended on the outlands capital of hanoi for the two leaders second summit the much hyped meeting fail to produce any north korea's denuclearization and the lifting of u.s. sanctions against pyongyang with trump and kim unable to agree on the terms despite little headway being made at the summit washington and pyongyang say the dialogue will continue and as an apparent goodwill gesture the u.s.

and south korea have decided to suspend their annual joint military exercises a pentagon statement says it's being done in an effort to reduce tension and fall and rise nations on the korean peninsula those details have in fact not been canceled completely but rather replaced by another set of exercises. to take stock of the second trump summit. the talks in hanoi between trump and can work complete failure a blowout bob trump says the talks failed because of what he says were unreasonable demands they wanted the sanctions lifted in their entirety and we couldn't do that but that is not how north korea remembers the meeting with what we proposed wasn't the removal of all sanctions but they were partial removal we proposed to the united states articles of sanctions that impede the symbol of economy and our people so with conflicting information about what actually took place at the

meeting between the two leaders we've now got the u.s. state department issuing an explanation of the explanation after the talks flopped in hanoi jumped on a plane to alaska it was certainly not singing the song of peace as he praised the troops america does not see conflict but if we are forced to defenders we will fight and we will win in an overwhelming fashion you are a powerful warning to the world to never strike american soil. you are a warning that everybody knows about it nobody wants to play with you would think that was the utter train wreck that was the talks with pyongyang that donald trump would be cruising for a bruising when he got back to the united states however that doesn't seem to be the case the epic failure seems to have been met with pretty broad approval both democrats and republicans seemed rather chipper about it it's a good idea to present did not get him anything was

a little bit that he was proposing the north koreans walk away thinking you know they've got they've won and gradually they will see they were sanctions regime begin to erode then they've won and frankly that would be unfortunate it was smart to expose a north korean delegation to the god of our economic prosperity that could be possible it's a good thing that he walked away rather than agreeing to something that was badly flawed democratic presidential candidate toasting gabbert seem to stand alone invoicing disappointment kim jong un has clearly stated that he is holding on to these nuclear weapons as his only deterrent against the united states coming in and waging a regime change war in north korea so while you know i'm deeply concerned about the fact that this summit yesterday ended without an agreement it's not surprising because of this policy this regime change war policy might pompei o laid out the washington consensus with rather sharp terminology america has

a responsibility to protect itself by pushing back against those evil nations and those evil leaders who intend to do real harm to the world yes much like george w. bush with his rhetoric about evil doers donald trump is not setting himself up to winning nobel peace prize any time soon but most of the political establishment that normally hates donald trump seems to think that that's a ok mop and artsy new york. suite told to believe the trumpet ministrations. and step every. north korea's trust in what type of promises america is willing to make. it was not a no deal versus bad deal it was a missed opportunity and the real question remains whether what was it that caused president or chairman kim for that matter to stand up and walk away hour and a half early i think there's a crisis in confidence between north korea in the us you know kim knows what's

going on in the world and he looks around and he sees unfortunately and depressingly the united states simply doesn't keep its word around the world trump is going to try to show success. he and that i think was one of the considerations in the discussions in in vietnam over over north korean missiles the reality is is that trump is looking to make a deal and to show international success and to so that he can have something to come back to and to offset the turmoil the inter political turmoil he's facing back home but if we've taken over isis in syria then the question remains what about the troops u.s. troops who are there in syria what will happen with them those are questions that remain unanswered. and of the border also grabbed the world's attention this week

india carried out today a strike of what they say was a tyrant camp in pakistan increasing phase of a military confrontation between the two neighbors states. south asian politics and security expert talented mr assange is a foreign hand in the conflict. and 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 as ecclesiastes lives amount of history as the hind that and that has to do with the press he's personally coming from the united states saudi arabia and united i mean it's kind of forced pakistan to take the court system that it to neither of these parties want to go down the path to 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 divide his own party who choose craving for some kind of confrontation that box from which you give it to claxon under my list in the forthcoming election as shooting range in the u.k. those pictures of a team i saw pride for target practice sparking a public debate on that story after this break.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. theory dramatic developments only. i don't see a. very critical time to sit down and talk . lost its moral compass or maybe we have to put more values into the system. to national institutions living in the dark it's like lucy was screaming having always. come to action so we need to put

back to the system and we need stronger leadership and better leadership. a shooting range in the u.k. has been branded distasteful pictures of bride. to be used as target practice the teenager notoriety after an interview in which she showed no remorse or regret about. one of her images used at the range bullet holes has been widely shared online reaction has been mixed. in a society where hate and violence against muslims particularly muslim women is most prevalent on the right it's deeply concerned that people requested an image of

a real person as a shooting target it's clearly wrong to use photos of people as targets in a shooting they should stop. why you're so worried about a traitor or just plain again with her poster her i says friends tossed real human hands of beheaded victims like a football and she wasn't raised remember that. shamima baker was born in britain but the sisters passport and fled to syria to join i saw when she was fifteen she now says she'd like to return to the u.k. to care for her newborn baby and britain's move to revoke her citizenship here's why this shooting range has decided to use because image. the target provides some fantastic reactions and conversations and allow people to have some lighthearted fun and bring out the in a child in us all the targets we provide do not necessarily always reflect our personal opinions after watching footage of being interviewed and the lack of remorse and empathy she shows we choose to go ahead and run the target. i guess if

the use of the image was appropriate. the issue is how it's going to actually impact on muslims in this country and muslim women in particular and the fact that we need to recognize that she whether we like it or not because she is a muslim woman she is going to inevitably represent something that the people who are going to shooting range people are saying this is something that is going to be targeting muslim women how to hold that second what is more racist what is more offensive to muslim women the fact that should be pagans picture was out there shooting dragons almost nobody is going to go to all the fact that somebody is appearing on international television to say that should mean the begum is a vet present state of muslim women in britain that is not what it said that is a caricature. whatever it is precisely what you said that night is your knowledge i don't need to actually think about why do you allow me to finish what you allow me

to finish because you're talking about knowing that is being made is that a racist environment this is a racist environment which you are a part of which is encouraging the targeting of the. and women she is a terrorist and they're law abiding citizens and frankly you should take that back you should apologize to muslim women in this country for suggesting that she is like them this is a process of desensitization of children from a very early age and this is problematic because it is saying that it's ok to shoot and kill women in her job because that's exactly what is being suggested in this to call it harmless fun i think it's important that we recover the child advocates on the t.v. channels that we should take military action to get the child by its u.k. who after all is an innocent victim she can take a hike i don't care about this i don't know if there's at least idea to release idea if she also says it's not true and b. so fed was there to result in that they're all this moral thing if it's all i want

percy is a terrorist so that's an area where he'll be placed in a way that would be taken away but for a white person that would not be an option that their citizenship would be taken away he said on other than the law to recognize that there's a structural racism that exists through everything that you are actually saying is a sense of what you would define i think should be i would say of the you all bring her back to defend the grain or add and try her and that's the issue there is an environment of hate that exists i think what we have to think first of all who are the real victims here should be jim is a terrorist she has supported a brutal terrorist regime the disgraceful idea in the media that we should be seeing her as the vic said i think it's sad and pathetic that it would not be the role of the british state to tell british people what they can and can't do just cause one or two people are offended by it if we lived our lives bunning everything that that one person found offensive nothing would exist in the world and thank god i live in a country where we're never going to do that. sporting goods retailer to catherine

this trial plans to sell a sports version of the hijab in france the county says it hopes to build on the success it previously had in live rock shalyn depends kate spain's why the government sparked controversy even before it hit the shelves. it's incredible how such a small piece of material can cause such a commotion but here in france that's exactly what's happened over plans by the retailer to catch on just stop a sports version of a hit job a muslim headscarf. as well as an outpouring of twitter outrage several politicians have called for a boycott of to cast all. sport emancipates it does not submit my choice as a woman and a citizen would be to no longer trust a brand that breaks with our values the french health minister has also waded into the debate. it's legal but it's

a vision of women that i do not share i think it does not fit well with the values of our country. hearts is a secular country with a hit job as well as the christian cross have been banished from state classrooms and also from government offices no religious symbols outlawed and in fact there were a common sight on the streets of france but many argue that face and body covering garments such as those worn by loosely women are seen as being a method to subjugate them but others including the castle say such items make it easier for muslim women to take part in activities such as sports interest emotional screwed if i may play women women should be able to wear what to the from between the sunni's clothes and each has to d.q. miss first came a shot at me and then they have to cancel the sales it's not an act of securities and it's not a market i would go she's part of something called make my despair and islamic.

people should dress according to their own tastes i don't think there's much controversy about this issue play pool with pick your choose to merit a masters practiced so if she wants to wear it you know it's her choice but the backlash has been. so big that even to capital star say they have been writing. our customer service team has received over five hundred calls and e-mails since this morning our teams in our stores have been insulted and threatened sometimes physically before the florida supreme court out of the starting blocks the force of the opposition saw the capitol back down it would no longer sell out the sports he job here but it's a no win situation for the retailer which is also being criticised by pandering to collectively styria that reveals the level of islamophobia here in france show that people ski nazi paris by trying online activists to manage and patricia shannon

young from france's national body party say the sports retailer to governmental and public pressure. we choose to cover up because it reduces our body on our terms independent of the milky it's necessary for us to have different options available for different types of women that's what will point is that especially in industries like bashan think that the french government is acting in a way any different than the iranian government for example i don't think that forcing women to not cover up to take off a garment of clothing i think that is no different than police in iran for example forcing women to put the head on a still controlling the way women dress and it is wrong actually dig up some fully supported decision to quit the. sport he chat on the french market in their stores it was only after there was a huge public outcry. that crawled back so you know

basically don't has no scruples could become known as a capitalist company they only want to make profits and they weren't forced they were forced to take the. oath of their shows here in france because of the huge pressure from the public. stay tuned full gardens i with max kaiser and stacey have it which is up next here on out international. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. what i see and hear things with your dory. i see people who are afraid

must see these young some women in these white supremacist groups and i see those are really scared. to do the movie. and all the other all or that is the color of their skin that's all they have going for themselves into their white skin and. life expectancy in america is plummeting if you look at the chart it's shocking to look at that almost every other country is kind of inching up on one side of the chart and that as an outlier is the united states is the way over here it's all crashing down from the drugs from the having junk food having junk culture having a junk politics and fake news it's all fake and fake doesn't sustain life and you see it in the numbers it's clear. my seven years doing drugs my nephews was still in drugs my sister just with doing drugs it was like an epidemic of drug abuse america's public enemy number one in the united

states is drug abuse you started going after the users in the prison population who are we started treating sick people people who are addicted to these drugs like criminals while i was on the hill. the war on drugs was a mistake. there are number of people who are in prison for. sins for. minor offenders in the drug trade it's a lot watching your children grow up and miss you in waves and say by day as you're walking out of a business it's just it doesn't get easier. the country's gone into a nihilistic fever that's why i'm thankful and we've got to hit the road and get out there traveling across america to find what makes america take the shots in the genius of america here this is it we point around which hollywood is going to say

we're starting last with is we're going to head east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the bee i can't leave now those are getting more gonzo to me maybe completely different than the mr. mars journey from california hollywood where the me the thing where to dream or me heading into the swamp where it all started insane. and love you no longer way that there is a sort of polarization going on raging bleaching rachel maddow versus sean hannity and it's an easy versus fox is that causing polarization or is that just on the news and actually out in the real world is on the well when you get down here and you get in touch with the history then you start to realize that the william faulkner quote is really true when you when he said that the past isn't dead it isn't even past and what we're experiencing right now is just a.
