another turbulent week for venezuela both russian and u.s. resolutions to resolve the country's crisis fail at the u.n. security council while washington's economic pressure prompts caracas to transfer the european h.q. of its main oil for moscow. sees a sixteenth weekend of your levesque movement unrest with police they're resorting to tear gas and water cannon against protesters. and the u.s. and north korean leaders hold the second summer but failed to reach a deal on denuclearization accusing each other of unreasonable demands.

thanks for joining us you're watching the weekly here on. the u.s. has formed a coalition to hand over power in venezuela from the current leader nicolas maduro to the self-proclaimed president that's according to u.s. security advisor john bolton he says that the plan is for a peaceful transition of power. so i'd like to see as broad a coalition as we can put together to replace me to replace the whole corrupt regime work in this administration we're not afraid to use the phrase munroe dr and spin the objective of american presidents going back to ronald reagan to have a completely democratic chemist for your. dog truism failed by president james monroe in the nineteenth century that attempts to stop any european interference on the american continent the declaration that only such action would be seen as

unfriendly towards the us many interpret the doctrine as an assertion of complete us germany over the entire western hemisphere guadeloupe korea associate professor george mason university says such nineteenth century principles have got no place in the modern world. they are barely in the final banter. but the foundations of the markets the and the without and so to negotiation by the international community the demand for doubt tween was in a period where there were some international. and europe was agreeing with america for the americans leaving the united states dealing with the issues of the western hemisphere today we're talking about a multi parlor world and i don't really know why it would i mean what would that mean even if america can be only for americans when you're talking about a world that's more globalized when other countries also have interests in the americas economic interests very important economic interests. or the border

between venezuela and colombia witnessed further violence this week as tensions over american aid deliveries intensified venezuelan president nicolas maduro blocked the shipments from entering claiming that they could be carrying weapons and international efforts to end the crisis of stalled with the un security council rejecting draft resolutions from both russia and the us. by voting against this resolution some members of this council continue to shield woodrow and his cronies and prolong the suffering of the venezuelan people the time for a peaceful transition to democracy is now going to use them with us finally 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 where 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 deposit a legitimate leader and imposed another one to a sovereign country the venezuelan representatives spoke as well calling to stop interfering in the matters of his country the power to this will has to do with having a sweat on slaughtering at the end of an assault on people they behave like colonial east they are planning a clandestine operation against a sort of right down the same kind of took it about what he thought and their force

at the same time they are just feeding out of money you see something outrageous indeed so the diplomatic community in the crossroads again the u.n. as save 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 our take. meanwhile hundreds of activists have rallied in the spanish capital madrid in support of president with euro demonstrators waved hands off and his whaler banners and denounce what they see as an attempt by the u.s. to intervene in another country's internal affairs for design visited venezuela was a u.n. report turn in two thousand and seventeen believes that washington 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 price in pristine be for the

united states will the united states take the risk of a flagrant aggression against venezuela where there is a danger of violence and it should be the function of the united nations to prevent that. because madeira says that washington has its sights firmly set on done as well as all reserves the largest in the world u.s. sanctions are already blocked seven billion dollars with a state owned assets in a proactive move venezuela's ordered the state oil companies european headquarters to be relocated to moscow vice president has told us more about that decision. in fact the americans are pursuing a predatory policy appropriating venezuela's assets and therefore violating diligent interests of our country they violate all existant international investment rules aswell 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 when these wells 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 vs a office from europe to moscow this is connected with the expansion of the corporation for russian company in the field of energy and the feel of oil and gas together with the european office of say other branches of the company will also move to moscow. that are to states also council visas a forty nine influential venezuelans aligned with president maduro says anyone who steals from the venezuelan people or undermines democracy is not welcome francisco domingo as head of latin american studies at middlesex university believes the u.s. is doing everything in its power to achieve its goal in venezuela. people in

venezuela particularly the million. dollars drum and the pressure from the united states in particular almost as closely on the military literally. could three years again and again through was coercion on. blackmail you name it got those words where's it going on be only seeing it's us all foreign lingle almost nothing usually a meal of these raises the specter or something. which can be organized irregular forces and training and organized by the united states and mr abrams is exactly the get it organized so the existing concern there for that confirms not only won't always fit it the united states is going to score something much more dramatic. for the sixteenth weekend in

a row yellow first marches have been held in cities across france clashes erupted at some of those demonstrations at the weekend with police deploying tear gas and water cannon. forty thousand were said to have taken part in nation wide four thousand of them in paris alone on friday present again appealed for calm urging people to refrain from the kind of violence seen in previous weeks police made a number of arrests on saturday all the began as a grassroots rally over fuel taxes in

a sense broadened into why the 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 fuel prices are rising and they were supposed to be frozen all prices are increasing in the supermarket to ten percent on products it's the opposite of what we want. we want them to give purchasing power back to the people lower fat on essential products and grandest the citizens initiative referendum those are the two essential demands as long as they don't give us that we won't stop. this that people in difficult times people who have a hot time surviving and. i think constant and i haven't the courage to call masses and masses against police violence i have many different messages.

was. on tuesday india carried out an air strike on what it said was a terrorist camp in pakistan increasing fears of a military confrontation between two nuclear neighbors. south asian politics and security expert tomlin to mr a belief that there may be

a foreign power beyond the conflict what we are seeing at the moment is that low intensity conflict on the ground on the sea is going to go on what you need to remember here is that all do all of the pakistani prime minister region the indian kaptchuk pilot as ecclesiastes that is a moment of history if we hind the eye to come back has to do with the present he's personally coming from the united states side the united i mean it's kind of forced pakistan to take the point you said that it took neither of these parties want to go down the peace in pakistan the army has the state so that is a military establishment which is their whole walk on india we haven't lost the least in divided his own party which is craving for some kind of confrontation at foxconn which would give it to claxon on to my list in the forthcoming election. the interim study kay did much of a two hour unscripted speech to russia we'll tell you all about it after the break

. the. country's gone into a nihilistic theme restaurant to thank and we got to hit the road and get out the traveling across america to find what makes america the charlatans the genius the quintessential american hero this is it we've come to a point from which alan would have done something we always are on the margins something. called the culture party. we're starting last with is going to headed east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the beast and i think i want to leave now doesn't get any more gone

down and then we may be completely different but the end of this. what are see and hear things what their doors. are see people who are afraid not see these young men and women in these ways purposes groups and i see those as the really secure proof. that it loses. all the other all or that is the color of their skin that's all they have going for themselves to their white skin. north korean leader kim jong going along with their retinues and thousands of journalists descended on vietnam's capital for the bilateral summit the much hyped talks failed to produce any deal though on north korea's denuclearization or the lifting of u.s. sanctions. we tried became just unable to agree terms despite little headway

washington in pyongyang did say the dialogue will continue and as an apparent gesture of goodwill the u.s. and south korea are suspending their annual joint military exercises the pentagon says this is to reduce tension and to advance denuclearization on the korean peninsula but the drills have nots in fact been counseled rather replaced by another set of exercises. take stock of the second trump him summit. the talks in hanoi between trump and care more complete failure a blowout. 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 because the word 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 cereal and economy and the law of 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 trying to jumped on a plane to alaska it was certainly not singing a 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 with the utter trainwreck 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 try to. get 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 their sanctions regime begin to erode then they've won and frankly that would be unfortunate i was smart to expose the 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 tossing 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. and waging a regime change war in north korea so well 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. political expose told us that the trumpet ministrations hawkish stands up a roading north korea's trusted white house promises. it was not 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 trying to show success. he and that i think was one of the considerations in the discussions in in vietnam over over north korea missiles the reality is is a 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 the 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. veering off script still in terms given a two hour speech at the conservative political action conference but it seems

there's been little change to the topics with the russia probe still dominating. america is winning again. is respected again. if you say something like russia please if you can get us hillary clinton's e-mails. so everybody's having a good time mom laugh and we're all having fun and then that fake c.n.n. and others. russia to go good. moral collusion with russia to collusion delusion. had a nasty business transaction with robert mueller remember i said why isn't that. he

wanted the job as f.b.i. director i mean these are things that are out there. it was in america first in many cases it was america last we are reversing decades of blunders and betrayals you know i'm totally off script or idea. and this is how i got elected by being off script. and russia's hand was apparently also found with the david putin accused of being the man behind the speech. how many pieces parts of president clinton's to do less was president trying trying to accomplish today he was also saying things that really look like lattimer putin scripted his speech these people some of them millionaires billionaires the best the brightest squab made up giving you the best and they actually said

that nobody came in with a hawk nobody no white coat came in and sedated them and say would you lads when you were at least wait let the russian thing gome now i'm not trying to tell people what to do but one could argue that there are some things that president dr has said that might be garrulous a peak and controversial your might want to go there this is trump arrangement but here is a trump hyphen putin hyphen russia during obeys since this weird kind of a connection it's an obsession an obsessive compulsive. reaction that they can not let go we while the u.s. media continues to hunt for a link between the president and blood in the putin double terms disgraced former lawyer michael cohen failed to provide any evidence of pollution with russia when

he testified before congress on wednesday members of the house accuse him of being a liar cohen previously pleaded guilty to lying to congress about trump's supposed connections to moscow this time though he pulled no punches when talking about his former boss. today i am here to tell the truth about. he is a racist. is a con man. and he's a cheat mr trump knew i was directed to trump moscow negotiations throughout the campaign and lied about it and i have never asked for nor would i. hard from president trump ladies and gentlemen how on earth is this witness credible he's a fake witness the presence here is a travesty and you have a history of lying over and over and over again he said we were in search of the truth i don't believe that michael coleman is capable of telling the truth he lied to congress through false statements and written statements he lied to congress

through his testimony he didn't gamble to fight his false statements by releasing him refuting his lies to the public with. michael caine was a trump confidant for more than a decade after his moment in the spotlight to begin a three year prison sentence in the spring for tax and banking for old as well as lying to congress he discussed his testimony with former us republican congressman michael popped all at the silly season and in the silly season silly things happen this is a little early. something that you'd see in the silly season cohen is willing to use the word racist and criminal and liar and anyone who's willing to speak in that absolute in that strongest terms in washington will always have an audience on one side or the other there was just an angry man who wanted to be chief of staff who didn't get to be chief of staff who was furious he couldn't make a ton of money off the trump name after trump was elected president has decided

after all that he needs to get even in a vicious new york stupid sort of way and so he's going to come to congress and lie some more he's been disbarred for lying that the state of new york despite of the polls his law license because he's a liar a man who took their promise who took that oath and then took another oath in front of congress and has lied constantly or cooperation substantiation and some back up and none of that was provided. this is r t i'm sure you knew that thanks for staying with us updates in half an hour. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical of time to sit down and talk. 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 then as an outlier is the united states it's way over here and it's all crashing down from the drugs from the having junk food having junk culture having it's 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 son doing drugs my nephew was still in drugs my system just with doing drugs it was like an epidemic of drug abuse we started treating sick people people who are addicted to these drugs like criminals while i was on the hill. the war on drugs. there are a number of people who are in prison for. for
