after what. was. it. it was am i am. never turbulent week for venezuela both russian and u.s. resolutions to resolve the country's crisis fail of the un security council on washington's economic pressure prompts caracas to transfer the european h.q. of its main oil for too long to go. wrong sees a sixteenth weekend of yellow vest movements on rests with police resorting to tear gas and water cannons against protesters. and the u.s. the north korean leaders hold their second summit but fail to reach

a deal on denuclearize they should accusing each other and reasonable demands. a very warm welcome you're watching the weekly here on r.t. international bringing you all the latest headlines and a roundup of the stories that shaped the week but first the u.s. has formed a coalition to hand over power in venezuela from current leader nicholas majeure o two self-proclaimed president. that's according to u.s. security advisor john bolton he says 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 to replace the whole corrupt regime work in this administration were not afraid to use the phrase monroe doctrine believe ject of american presidents going back to ronald reagan to have a completely democratic hemisphere the monroe doctrine was unveiled by president

james monroe in the nineteenth century its purpose was to stop any european interference in the affairs of nations in the americas a declaration that any such action will be seen as unfriendly towards the us but many interpret the doctrine as an assertion of us had germany over the entire western hemisphere was a loop a korea cobra associate professor at george mason university say such nineteenth century principles have no place in the modern world. the fundamental. foundations of democracy without concern to negotiation by the international community to morrow doctrine 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 i would i mean what would that

mean 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 the border between venezuela and colombia witnessed further violence this week as tensions over american aid deliveries intensified but as well in president nicolas maduro as blocks the shipments from entering claiming they could be carrying weapons and international efforts to end the crisis have stalled with the u.n. security council rejecting draft resolutions from both russia and the u.s. . by voting against this resolution some members of this council continue to shield the duro and 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 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 girl so one that you have today's 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 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 swell on sovereignty and of an assault on people they behave like colonial east they are planning a clandestine operation against a sort of right out of the same kind of took it about what he thought in their force at the same time they are just feeling 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 r.t. . meanwhile hundreds of activists have rallied in the spanish capital madrid in support of president we do or demonstrators waved hands off venezuela banners and denounce what they see as an attempt by the us to intervene in another country's internal affairs our desires he visited venezuela as a un report. in two thousand and seventeen believes 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 crises in pristine be for the united states will the united states take the risk of a flagrant aggression against his will there is a danger of violence it should be the function of the united nations to prevent that. nicolas maduro stays washington has its sights firmly set on venezuela's oil reserves the world's largest u.s. sanctions have already blocked seven billion dollars worth of state owned assets in a proactive move venezuela ordered the state oil companies european h.q. to relocate to moscow mines president has told us more about the decision.

if it were 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 violate 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 illegal withheld by the bank of england we also began to take measures for his well as legal protection we're talking about the theft of venezuela 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 d.v.d.'s a office from europe to moscow this is connected with the expansion of the corporation of russian company in the fall of the banner and the field of oil and gas together with the european office of p d b s a other branches of the company will also move to moscow the u.s.

has also counseled the visas the forty nine influential venezuelans aligned with president maduro if there is anyone who steals from the venezuelan papal undermines democracy is not welcome francesco domingo as the head of latin american studies at london's middlesex university believes the u.s. is doing everything in his power to achieve its goal in venezuela people in venezuela deeply the million. dollars the pressure from the united states almost exclusively on the military. is again and again through those. through may you name it got those words what is it going on behind the scenes. they got almost nothing. which can be organized irregular forces.

exactly the league it is organized so this is just concerned therefore that confirms not only won't always fix it but the united states going to school something much more dramatic. sixteenth weekend straight yellow vest marches were held in cities across france on saturday clashes erupted at some of the demonstrations with police deploying tear gas and water cannon. forty thousand was said to have taken part in marches nationwide four thousand of

them in paris on friday president mccrone again appealed for calm urging people who were framed from the kind of violence seen in previous weeks and he's made a number of all rests on saturday all the other best began as a grassroots around here the filter taxes it so has broadened and so why did the president handling the economy. they keep us 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 but fuel prices are rising and they were supposed to be frozen all traces 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 back on essential products the grandest the citizens initiative referendum those are the two essential demands as long as they don't give us that we believe. you

to thank god such as this that people in difficult. who have a hard time surviving on gas salaries a sending. a message against police violence have many different messages. on tuesday india carries out and estragon what it says is the terror camp in pakistan increasing phases of a military confrontation between the two nuclear neighbors.

south asian politics and security expert on the land in misrata believes that maybe a foreign power behind the conflicts. iran saying at the moment is that low intensity conflict on the ground on 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 as ecclesiastes that is a month of peace treaty hines i'd come back has to do with the phrase he's personally coming from the united states saudi arabia united i mean it's kind of forced pakistan to stay the course he said that if they do neither of these parties want to go down the peace on in pakistan the army has the state so that is

a major to the establishment is there a walk on india we haven't lost the least in divided his own party who choose craving for some kind of confrontation at foxconn which would give it to claxon under my list in the forthcoming election. don trump has to carry that much of a two hour unscripted speech to russia we'll tell you what he said and bring you other stories right after this break. globalization lost its moral compass and maybe if to put more values into the system my personal opinion is we have to a strength some multinational multilateral institutions now we're living in a dog eat dog world it's like i'm lucy was skiing having always you know all action

and come to action there and so we need to put value specht was a system and we need stronger leadership and better leadership. you know world of big partners. lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. welcome back on thursday this week donald trump

a north korean leader kim jong and along with their retinues and thousands of journalists descended on vietnam's capital for their bilateral summit the much hyped talks failed to produce any deal on north korea's deed nuclearization on a lifting of u.s. thanks and against pyongyang with trump and kim unable to agree on the terms despite little headway washington in pyongyang say they will bear the dialogue will continue and as an apparent goodwill gesture the u.s. and south korea are suspending their annual joint military exercises the pentagon says is to reduce tension and advance to nuclearization on the korean peninsula or the drills have not in france been cancelled but rather replaced by another set of exercises artie's kellett more can take saddam the second trump kim summit. the charge of annoy the queen trump and care more complete failure a blow out

a bomb 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 what we proposed wasn't the removal of all sanctions but their partial removal we proposed to the united states to leave 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 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 defend ourselves 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 in 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 good that the president did not get in anything was a little bit that he was proposing the north koreans walk away thinking you know they've got they want and gradually they will see they are sanctions regime begin to erode then they've won and frankly that would be unfortunate i was smart to expose a north korean delegation to the god of arkansas mark 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. 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 archie new york political expert told us the trumpet ministrations hawkish stunts elsewhere ends up eroding north korea's trust in the

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 trying to show success. he and that i think was one of the considerations in the discussions in in vietnam or 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 of remain unanswered back at home varying off script still no trans given a till hour speech at the conservative political action conference but it seems there's little change to the topics on the table with the russia still dominating. america is winning again. is respected again. these say something like rush. 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 say. russia to go. all collusion with russia collusion delusion. that nasty business transaction with robert. i said why isn't. he wanted the job as f.b.i. director i mean these are things that. 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 right now. and this is how i got elected by being off script. bush's hand was the

power and laos i found here with pearson accused of being the man behind the speech . how many pieces parts of president putin has to do us 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 squad made up giving you the best and they actually said that nobody came in with a hawk nobody no white coat came minutes today to them and say would you let would you want at least wait let the russian thing go now i'm not trying to tell people what to do but one could argue that there are some things approaching to drop a said that might be carrots a piquant controversial your might want to go there this is trump

arrangement but there is a trump high food putin russia during syndrome this is a preoccupation a pavlovian obeys at this weird kind of a connection it's an obsession an obsessive compulsive. reaction that they have not let go. a bit by algeria's ailing president for a fifth term in office has sparked student protests in the country police used water cannon to disperse the demonstrations the president who is eighty two years old has been in power for twenty years this is where he been seen in public since suffering a stroke in twenty thirteen a similar rally took place in the heart of the french capital paris with people calling for the president to abandon his plans to stand in the election since the protests broke out the president has issued a statement promising that in case he gets reelected in april he will serve

a full term and the elections will be called. well thanks for joining us this hour on r.t. international we will be back in thirty minutes with the latest of the about. join me every thursday on the alex simon short and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. need. all my dough for one hour six dimmable five months honestly did you know.

kaiser. they all. say yes. i'll. sleep. yes to almost all the food. all. these.

are. welcome to the parts adam smith they for father of modern economics the one sad resentment is the safeguard of justice and the security of innocents the latest wave of resentment does produce brax it and don't trump is often discounted as populism or russia's plotting but isn't it inevitable and all stand to western response to the injustices and abuses of globalization while to discuss that i'm now joined by frank you're going to retire founder and chairman of harasses the global visions committee mr richter is good to talk to you thank you very much for

the time many thanks for having me now i know that you worked for a number of european multinationals in china you saw globalization up close and personal and you usually speak very favorably about it but i wonder if that's not their vantage point bias if you happen to observe with let's say from the american midwest wouldn't your views be a little bit different. me currently experiencing a crisis of globalization the deep seated resentment of globalization is spoiling over old white create portion of the ruled is perceiving and self a school work station loses this resentment especially excited to fight by the movement in france but also by the rise of donald trump and i guess most of those who voted for donald trump globalization that was us one of the things that we usually hear about globalization is that it lifted millions of people out of poverty and that is undeniable nobody argues with god but if you happen to be had

of a multinational company it would have also benefited your bank account in very very generous ways whereas if you are a blue collar worker who saw his factory closed and a shopping mall opened in its place what did bad fits of globalization be just as apparent well globalization is here to stay there's no doubt about it but i think we have to redefine globalization and maybe catalyze the benefits of globalization you put it right. the anglo-saxon model of capitalism and the globalization eastern crisis even so we have seen an economy crowe's over the last few would take it's not everybody is spending fitting from globalization we see the shrinking of the middle class in america and in europe and even saw on the surf ace does a lot of economic success the middle class is shrinking and less people who can really benefit from globalization well let's talk about why that happened as ation

clearly has benefited export oriented economies like china or germany much more and much more evenly than imports oriented economies including the united states is it really surprising that that the push back against globalization or the current form of globalization with the region eight in america wasn't of balun to occur there you know we see the specter of globalization and the discount. and of globalization is especially new as you put it right again america is mostly importing goods from germany for example cars and from china fast moving consumer goods and of course america is very strong into tech sector but it lost its manufacturing sector i guess america will never be in the position to revive its manufacturing sector it's too late it's too late now to build steel mills like in the past we see this is a division of the ruled over of all why you and america should focus on technology you.
