from our studio with me in india welcome to the program we start in venezuela which faces the specter of yet more u.s. sanctions as washington tries to cripple caracas financially in its bid to oust democratically elected president nicolas maduro by simply recognizing opposition leader one as venezuela's interim president the u.s. seems to think it has already succeeded in effecting regime change with the state department going so far as to berate journalists who think otherwise. we have noticed in the news coverage that some outlets are in correctly referring to. as the opposition leader. proclaims president. came president. on january twenty third. and fifty countries recognize. as

a from president of venezuela he is for. good. or do you just try to correct the complaint. he is the interim president and we don't want to consider. as you say fifty. or. fifty countries is. time to act in support of democracy. leader the president is going to. be heard. as the u.s. state department spokesman. is recognized by fifty four states the rest of the world i suppose the elected president. by the west is neutral

or banks the opposition. without recognizing. a. dictator. there are a whole array of politicians who don't approve of nicholas and durable but one of the labels that he's given is worth exploring according to them nicolas manure a is a dictator nicolas maduro is a dictator period of the now defunct mature regime there in his brutal dictator who is material and has made him so what exactly is a dictator now the term generally refers to authoritarian leaders who crush their opposition and have absolute power but what's been happening in venezuela lately. thank you thank you at this point we've got

a minor opposition figure one kwaito declaring himself to be the interim president and at this point he's got the united states and britain backing him he was then banned from traveling by the supreme court so what did he do he then went on a speaking tour of latin american countries rallying support from those who want to violently overthrow the venezuelan government after that what did he do he stayed in exile fearing for his life knowing that if he returned the harsh regime would kill him right well no he actually felt safe enough to get on a commercial flight and go back to venezuela he still has not been arrested and the united states itself forbids people from doing this kind of thing whoever incites sets on foot assists or engages in any rebellion against you authority of the us shall be fined or imprisoned no more than ten years will both imagine that some kind of fringe activist told a good way to go in america and declared himself to be the president with say venezuela or iran backing him well wait a hasn't been arrested and he's walking around giving speeches freely in venezuela

you point out i was able to enter venezuela thinks to you and your mobilization in venezuela we feel that today we've made a decisive step towards the conquest of freedom the cold though lopez go. those longtime ally was actually convicted of inciting violence against the venezuelan government his trial received huge international attention and after a brief stint in prison he was in house arrest and from his home he was once again rallying people to overthrow him and this is how lopez wife described his treatment by the supposed dictatorship example of those in contact with everyone every day constantly has been sitting together in opposition that's totally united and strong now some people might say that it's only because of the immense pressure on venezuela the mid-air as it swept in and crushed the life of one guede oh however that doesn't exactly add up because at this point only twenty five percent of the countries in the world recognize kwaito as the president the rest of the world says

that the girl is the legitimate leader now in any other country in the world arresting this kind of provocateur would pretty much be standard practice however one boy is free he's walking around venezuela giving speeches inciting people to engage in violence for his made for social media revolution. has been born and. things are going well in venezuela opposition rallies and protests take place all the time there are many things that you can say about nicolas maduro but brutal dictator is a profile he just doesn't fit cable mopp and r.t. new york and choose damon to do it took part in a ceremony commemorating the sick kind of history of the death of his predecessor hugo chavez his rival going to met with public sector unions urging them to take strike action to help bring down the government political science professor i call and ask about believes america's us them rhetoric is not healthy. the trouble ministration is doing is forcing us. and other countries to jews

already gone to war there's a grizzle attempted coup to overthrow the elected government of venezuela or are you going to go. aboard there is this government that the united states does not like so it is international. the venezuelan conflict on a very dangerous basis because countries now are being forced to do are they going to go with an aggressive imperialist action or are they going to support democracy and the ride's other people there was one of. the british born man in syria has accused the u.k. of racism after london stripped him of his citizenship for alleged ties to jihadists took a sheriff described himself as an aid worker and then eyes any wrongdoing but admits to previously engaging in armed combat in syria and is to say

a joke and picks up the story. pickier sharif has spent years in syria as a prominent aid worker described as one of the most high profile for nationals in series appearances on prominent news networks as well as dispatches via his live updates from syria blog posts left his political preferences no secret the rebels why did it do it the problem is is that the broad of of of the syrian regime is a force in and children and civilians are facing the rest he's now speaking out against what he's dubbed a racist and unfair system of citizenship stripping laws i mean k. i came out here to help the innocent people there were being massacred by the bashar regime i'm an aid worker the stories come to light following the lifting of the man's anonymity in a case that saw the u.k. government stripped him of his british citizenship back in twenty seventeen he was informed of the decision with this letter it is assessed that you are

a british pakistani jewel national whose travel to syria and is aligned to an al qaeda aligned group your return to the u.k. would present a risk to the national security over the united kingdom surely this lawyer has been seeking evidence from the home office to find out what exactly his client was deemed a threat what is it the british government is so frightened of that they don't want these individuals in a court of law and they want you quickly shut them of their citizenship and export them somewhere else i do think that some of these individuals carry some very sensitive information it will be deeply embarrassing to the british state given the british government's role in the conflict in syria over these past three years i.e. how much support has a british government various points along we've been given these so-called rebel groups and to which development has it been supporting them in terms of the atrocities are being committed by these rebel groups to exculpate themselves of any criminal offense because you know that they've lost the war has been lost the conflict has been won by the sitting government and its allies you know they're

thinking about how they're going. survive. together some kind of the strangest trait you claim to be the aid workers where there are humanitarian grounds the issue of british citizenship being revoked has been in the spotlight in the u.k. recently due to a spike in terrorism and crime according to official figures more than one hundred people were stripped of their nationality in twenty seventeen compared to just fourteen the year before as sharif's appeal continues he maintains his innocence but the home office seems to have already made up its mind and reporting for r.t. in one. responding to at the media the u.k. home office refused to comment on the case saying only that every decision is well substantiated r.t. has also requested a comment and he's waiting for a reply. the humanitarian crisis in war torn yemen is becoming

deeper every day with most of the country's population on the brink of famine some desperate families have resorted to marrying off their daughters some of them as young as three years old just to get food. my mother in law keeps between me and when i run away back to my father's house my father beats me again for a new way i don't want to get married i just want to go back to school son family is a good thing that i mean this is no one really where they can marry their daughters and they can bring some dowry and that just can't protect the whole families and also their extended members so it is really unfortunate that this is going after some of them that they have received emergency support but you know you don't support are also even limited so big and fine trying to weigh what are their immediate what are the means so this is the one leaving the family i mean. it is very difficult to hold family with these smaller little support and often the

humidity isn't seized a phrase the safety or security concerns critiquing pretty moderate or so aid also we are not able to deliver aid on timely. according to the oxfam report girls in yemen are usually spared consummating marriages until they are just eleven years old but until then they live with their husband and typically do the housework and according to the humanitarian organizations yemen is one of the worst countries for children to live in more than eleven million children are in need of humanitarian aid and almost half a million suffer from malnutrition the director of iraq sons yemen office says the current situation in the country is catastrophic. what is really really. being an even alarm me that almost one third of the total population which is basically ten million is just at the brink of

a mean and children are malnourished and we are all there were due to this for years so why are and complicate and also. to do as an eighteen color of crisis that was worst cholera persons in this century if. called any ministers are not provided trying to lead and even the fault even the man's lips and nonfunctional even for a day i mean importing the food will end the humanitarian mauritius there'll be much more protest of the situation. a reality adventure puzzle game in greece has sparked an outcry over his references to the holocaust in particular is based on the story of german businessman oscar you say more than a thousand jews during the second world war the game website says that players have to assist in saving innocent people after the public outrage the company changed

the name again from the schindler's list to secret agent though the story wasn't altered the jewish community increase has condemned the. wishes for them to take a trip to auschwitz to sense even for a fraction of a second the terror of death in the german concentration camp only them can be hope that they no longer move to the place human suffering we discuss whether games like this are a good way of raising awareness about history or not with our guests. i mean it's a disgrace that today people are even thinking to make. toys or games abodes all of course such a game is part of this rise of funds in there are many people who graduate from high school and don't know about the holocaust or don't know about auschwitz don't know the story of oskar schindler which in itself i think is a tragedy because i think it's important that we always remember what happened there let's be frank and clear with ourselves i mean you really believe that to

make such a game we make people aware more by the locals no they just make them playing a game we go to any real feeling about the issue we have been witness to this witnessing the last year's games of both the day about till all the young people even young muslims that want to just to repeat what they saw during the game and some of them even left their home on went to syria to iraq to become terrorists so you don't know when you produce such a computer easy to search a game what would be the output what would be the result from what i understand it was certainly not something that was encouraging anti-semitism or making light of the holocaust but instead was putting its users of this experience into this fear in which they were encouraged to save the lives of other people

who are under threat by the nazis. a traditional carnival in belgium with a stretching back all the way to medieval times has been slammed this year for including allegedly anti semitic and racist let's although the annual event has previously been hailed a cultural marvel by the un's world heritage party some are now think it should be left to the past.

we'll be back in a couple of minutes. because there's my survival guide book station yes i'm all going to start simply putting all the service. he should clearly comfort in the past. back to. public knowing. repatriations look at the after seven years. bill of the seven yr march kaiser for.

eat. eat. welcome back to the program the russian military along with its syrian colleagues have issued a statement accusing american forces stationed in syria of efforts to evacuate

people from the infamous rock band camp moscow says it sent numerous bus convoys at the start of march aiming to transfer people willing to leave the camp it also says that the american forces controlling the camp and the surrounding territory refused to ensure safe passage for the convoys russia says this refusal essentially puts the humanitarian operation on hold for military organizations have previously warned the conditions in the facility a dire with people suffering from lack of food and medicine. the u.s. is looking to expand its naval presence in the black sea the announcement was made by nato supreme allied commander in europe during the u.s. senate hearing peter oliver has the details. general curtis scupper also has been speaking before the senate armed services committee he had a question put to him by the chair over the u.s. is deployment in the black sea region who is targeting and was it sufficient in

general scupper ortiz view it needs more work is it possible that we as an american force need to have more of our naval forces in the black sea region and we believe there is a need for that we've stepped up in our allies you have as well nato has a fleet right now in the black sea do you think it's sending a clear message to president vladimir putin and the frankly don't actually manage international waters and we should show you one fly there general scupper altie isn't the only common old garden general if there is such a thing he's also the commander of the u.s. european command and the nato supreme allied commander as well so he comes with quite a bit of clout in what he wants to see him. two more u.s. navy destroyers sent to the region it from the russian side the foreign ministry in moscow is said that any activity like this in the black sea well it poses a risk to the security situation in the region could potentially make it much worse

to go and say that the black sea is a sea of cooperation it wasn't just russia that was in the crosshairs of scupper altie though while he was speaking to the senate turkey the nato ally of the united states also came in for a bit of a tongue lashing it related to chris well intended purchase of russian air defense systems well scuppered already said should cede without then they may see their expected deliveries of u.s. fighter bombers not so rife this is this is a huge decision for turkey it connection in many different ways to the f. thirty five i would hope that they would reconsider this one decision on ash four hundred one system but potentially. for. many of the other systems in in the motion one of the most important systems that we have my best military advice would be that we don't follow through with the thirty five flying war.

working with now why that's this working with russia particularly or defense systems. thousands of algerians took to the streets on monday demanding their president step down as he said but the flicka is eighty two years old and his house is declining but he's seeking reelection for a fifth time not only to the opposition say he's unfit to lead they also allege on corruption with elections scheduled for next month a number of wild card candidates have put themselves forward for the presidency.

getting a foreign blockbuster release in china is no mean feat beijing has imposed on tony straight quotas but stringent rules on would be important movies but that hasn't deterred hollywood as. explained. while one very well known businessman only has trade wars on his mind when he hears china american filmmakers or not only happy to play by chinese rules they're trying to outsmart each other

and how to win beijing's mercy grab your popcorn your problems prove. to me what's the movies industry's driving force a passion for art it's funny. which country has the biggest number of movie theaters china which countries about to dethrone the u.s. as the world's box office theater. fast and furious seven and transformers last night earned more box office cash there than back home but the problem is only thirty four foreign movies per year can make it onto the screens in china that's a lot how's that for a cut this year academy where you. tail wagging kicks and the cia selling guns to north korea. the chinese were originally meant to be the bad guys in these two so the plot was

weeks to make it north korea. do you make a difference and it looks like hollywood will keep trying to china ties evil characters in the future or in marvel's dr strange she was supposed to be a tibetan monk with the strange. doctor actually the ancient one was a racist stereotype who comes from a region of the world that's in a very weird political place here originates from tibet so if you acknowledge that the bat is a place in the teesta better you risk alienating one billion people and risk the chinese government going we're not going to show you a movie because you decided to get political. other tricks include the classic of showing chinese products getting chinese actors to star in hollywood even coming up with special scenes where someone from china be a character or cast member saves the day. chased by cia as.

we. watch the local. paper. and you are always young says was it really. is was. this some actors even felt worried they were being exploited. when the director approached me i began by asking quite frankly if it's a real character or if he's only cast me based on commercial considerations for the market. setting up some lucrative business ties with chinese companies is also a great option so that beijing movie industry fire wall isn't all that impenetrable you just need to do the right thing and hollywood's more than happy to get on board when it smells big bucks. that's the news that i'll be back around thirty minutes time but do stay with us for

a boom bust which is up next here on earth international. when lawmakers manufacture consent to steal public wealth. when the ruling classes project themselves. in the final merry go round be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. i mean real news is. traditionally in the foreign policy blog with the assistance of the legacy media defining immediate threat for a foreign military intervention or coup their aim is been to manufacture public

support today it's different with virtually no public debate in his way what is the target of a forced regime change the problem is force regime change as a deplorable record. 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 we started going after the users in the prison population sewer we started treating sick people people who are addicted to these drugs like criminals while i was on the hill. then the war on drugs was a mistake there are countless numbers of people who are in prison for. certain sins for minor minor offenders in the drug trade. it's a lot watching your children grow up and miss you in ways you can save by day as

you're walking and this is just it doesn't get easier. this is boom bust broadcasting around the world and covering the world of business and finance and the impact on all of us i'm bart chilton in washington d.c. in the belly of the beast lots to get to today coming up the great crypto paper continues as the plot behind canadian crypto exchange quadriga c.x. goes deeper kristie i have counterpart x. joins us to break down the latest turn in this bizarre case and apple qualcomm yet they're at it again in a battle royale with the shocking allegation that qualcomm actually stole patent information from an apple engineer expert in.
