for. god. it. was. another turbulent week for venezuela both russian and u.s. resolutions to resolve the country's crisis failed at the u.n. security council of washington and the economic pressure points caracas to transfer the european h.q. of its main oil to locals go. wrong sees a sixty day weekend of yellow vests movements on rests with police was talking to tear gas and water cannon against. the u.s. and north korean leaders hold their second summit put fail to reach

a deal on new day clear rise they should accuse each other of the reasonable to the odds. are very welcome to you watching the weekly here on r.t. international when you all the latest and a round of the stories that shape the week but first the u.s. has formed a coalition to hand over power in venezuela funding 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 me to replace the whole corrupt regime work in this administration we're not afraid to use the phrase monroe doctrine spin the objective 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 your appearance

of fear in the affairs of nations in the americas a declaration that any such action will be seen as unfriendly towards the us but many of her put the doctrine as an assertion of us or germany over the entire western hemisphere waterloo paykel rare cabrera associate professor george mason university says such nineteenth century principles have no place in the modern world they are the fundamental. foundations of democracy and without concern to negotiation by the international community mark potok tween was in a period where there were some international. and europe was agreeing with america for the americans to live in 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 tensions over american aid deliveries intensified but as whalen president nicolas maduro has 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 us. by voting against this resolution some members of this council continue to shield maduro 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 worker straighted double standards show over venezuela washington and london have both again robson's due to regime changes 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. 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 us resolutions didn't pass the voting in the un security council russia 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 us 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 into the matters of his country the biggest will has to do with having a swollen sovereignty and then when it's one people they behave like colonial east they are planning a clandestine operation against it it's whatever right out of the same kind of took

it up on their 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 thieves 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's r.t. . meanwhile hundreds of demonstrators waved at hands off venezuela banners and denounce what they see as an attempt by the u.s. to intervene and in another country's internal a fad for desires he visited venezuela as a u.n. route in twenty 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 we. will the united states take the risk. there is a danger of violence it should be the function of the united nations to prevent that. nicolas maduro say is 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 as well it ordered the state oil companies european h.q. to relocate to moscow vice president has told us more about the decision it all with in fact the americans are pursuing a predatory policy appropriating venezuela's assets and therefore violating the legitimate interests of our country violates all existing international investment groups aswell europe where venezuela's accounts were frozen and 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 as for the transfer of the v.s.e. office from europe to moscow this is connected with the expansion of the corporation from russian company in the through the banner and the feel of oil and gas together with the european office of. other branches of the company will also move to moscow. the us is also counseled the visas of forty nine influential venezuelans aligned with president maduro is there is anyone who steals from the venezuelan people or undermines democracy is not welcome francisco domingo as head of latin american studies at london's middlesex university believes the u.s. is doing everything in its power 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 bitterly.

south asian politics found security experts on the land in misrata believes that maybe a foreign power behind the conflict. what we are seeing at the moment is the low intensity conflict on the ground and 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

captured pilot as ecclesiastes that is a month of history hindsight i'm back has to do with the prez he's personally coming from that you not forced pakistan to take the course you said that if you do neither of these parties want to go down the path of peace on 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 the volunteers and fanti who choose craving for some kind of confrontation at foxconn which would give it to claxon under my list in the forthcoming election . i see most of the coming today how donald trump has dedicated much of a two hour unscripted speech to russia we'll tell you what he said and bring you other stories right after this short break.

i do think the numbers mean something they matter to us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime families. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be old rich with six percent world market grows thirty percent some with four hundred to five hundred three first second per second and fifth when rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overall. the only number you need remember one one just showed you know for the mid one and only boom but.

welcome back a bit but algeria is a ling president for a fifth term in office student protests in the country on sunday police used water cannons to disperse the demonstrations over to. abdul aziz a beautifully it was a two years old has. in power for twenty years and has rarely been seen in public since suffering a stroke in twenty thirty a similar rally took place in the heart of the french capital paris with people calling for the algerian leader to abandon his plans to stand in the election since the protests broke out of prison fico has issued a statement promising that in case he gets reelected in april he will not serve a full term and early elections will be.

on thursday donald trump a north korean leader kim jong un the long with their rescue news of 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 denuclearization and the lifting of u.s. sanctions against pyongyang with trump and kim unable to agree on the terms despite little headway washington and pyongyang say dialogue 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 it's to reduce tension and advance denuclearization on the korean peninsula however the drills have not in fact been cancelled but rather were placed by another set of exercises on the scale of more can take stock of the second tranche came some of. the talk to annoy between trump and care more complete failure

a blowout a bomb trump says the talks failed because of what he says were unreasonable demands they wanted the sanctions lifted. in there in turkey and we couldn't do that but that is not how north korea remembers the meeting with what we proposed was the removal of all sanctions but they were partial removal we proposed to the united states three articles of sanctions that impede the city with economy and our people so with conflicting information about what actually took place. set 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 and nobody wants to play with you would think that with 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 trend is not good not getting anything was a little bit that he was proposing the north koreans walk away thinking you know they've got they won and gradually they will see they were 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 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. 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 win a 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 caleb mop and artsy new york has

a collect those told is the trumpet ministrations hawkish stunts elsewhere and that the road in north korea is 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 over over north korean 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 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 veering off script donald trump is given a two hour speech at the conservative political action conference but it seems there's been little change to the topics on the table with the russia probe still dominating. america is winning again. america is respected again. to say something like russia if you can get us hillary clinton's e-mails.

so everybody's having a good time i'm glad the poor all happened fund and that c.n.n. and others. russia go. collusion with russia collusion delusion. that nasty business with robert. uses. he wanted the job as f.b.i. director i mean the 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 paying off script. and russia's hand with

the power and he also found hey with putin accused of being among behind the speech . how many pieces parts of president putin's to do us was president trying trying to accomplish today he was also saying things that really look like whining or 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 hook nobody no white coat came minutes to david them and say would you lads when you were at least wait let the russian thing go home now i'm not trying to tell people what to do but one could argue that there are some things that president drop has said that might be garrulous a piquant controversial your might want to go there this is trump

arrangement but there is a trump high finned putin in russia during syndrome this is a preoccupation a pavlovian obeys and it's this weird kind of a connection it's an obsession an obsessive compulsive. reaction that they can not let go. of the u.s. media continues to hunt for a link between the president on vladimir putin they are trying to squeeze former lawyer michael cohen felt to provide any evidence of collusion with russia when he testified before congress on wednesday members of the house accused him of being a liar cohen had previously pleaded guilty of lying to congress about trump's suppose that connections to moscow but this time he pulled no punches when talking about his former boss. today i am here to told the truth about him he

is a racist. is a con man. and he is a cheat mr trump knew of and directed the trump mosque. negotiations suau to campaigns and lied about it and i have never asked for nor would i. part from president trump ladies and gentlemen how on earth is this witness credible he's a fake witness is presence here is a travesty and you have a history of lying over and over and over again he said we were in charge 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 did campbell to fight his false statements by releasing him refuting his lies to the public with. how in was the trunk confidant for more than

a decade after his name into the spotlight in a three year prison sentence in the spring for tax and bank for a lot as well as lying to congress we discussed his testimony with former us republican congressman michael patrick flanagan as we call it in the united states when election season comes near we call it 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 when 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 to 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 can't be trusted ever to tell the truth even if he is telling the truth it will require cooperation substantiation and some backup and none of that was provided. john is against the latest and thirty minute. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sport i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. lost its moral compass and maybe if to put more values into the system my personal
