or broadcasting live. international thomas glad to have you with us. right now the venezuelan capital has been gripped by rival marches for and against president maduro opposition supporters voiced their anger over food and medicine shortages along with a nationwide blackout and claimed interim leader addressed the crowd calling on foreign powers to bring down the government thanks to the solution to thank . we crush the coup attempts. try to fabricate this whole show claiming the military would join. but there is only one answer yes to loyalty and

no to betrayal and that medicine is a crown pocket in the criminal. the battle over the venezuelan presidency has dragged on since january but nicolas maduro is still in power and it seems washington while being the first to back opposition leader has no backup plan to put him in office as r.t.c. goes down off comments the u.s. is back to square one on venezuela and an ambiguous confession by vice president pence how much longer do you have a timeline and here's mike pence the same mike pence announcing venezuela was on washington's laundry list in spanish. i'm mike pence the vice president of the united states the united states supports the courageous decision by one god or the president of your national assembly to assert that body's constitutional powers declare madeira or your syrup or and call for the establishment of

a transitional government that was the moment washington put itself into regime change since then the us heavily invested itself in the crisis so how did it come to this a thinly veiled admission of failure after all it looked so bright at the start in me a week's washington projected a no name obed cheerleader into the international frame one why dole became the poster boy of the social upheaval has his presidential ambition was quickly backed by america's allies brazil has just issued a note recognizing one why do as venezuela's president one way door when. one goes one way do so in europe where you go you know one way though since then though america's plans started to go into a frantic nosedive my duro wasn't going anywhere hadn't still has the army on his side and his supporters showed the opposition didn't own the streets of caracas how

. then a big ruckus with aid the u.s. tried getting into venezuela and which material didn't allow concerned washington was using its old trick to smuggle guns to the mob which clearly showed just who's still boss in venezuela washington seems to have resisted the temptation to go for the favorite tactic of sending a few thousand soldiers to a school or to the undesirable leader out of office at least for now and when confronted with the what's next question resorts to the same boilerplate platitude over and over again for the day all options are on the table all options are on the table all options are on the table which all things considered sounds more like no

options are on the table and actually things didn't go much further than ola in the first place where there has been unable to deliver on his promise to allow humanitarian aid in the military has not left the side of president maduro they continue to support him and wedo is looking like a shrinking power and expanding one so this coup seems to appeal to a fortune that means the united states will try other attempts are not going to give up as the us talks about toward militarism colombia saying no brazil saying no european government to waive those and so the united states is really in a small box that's shrinking power supplies shut down nationwide on thursday president maduro claims it was due to a u.s. cyber attack and this is what the main international airport in caracas looked like when all lights were off lights rather were grounded lights were off as well i have limited operations have resumed but thousands of people are still stranded there

were no says the government is to blame for the situation at. years of corruption and under investment by venezuela's defense ministry called the outage an act of sabotage by washington. boy it will be all we have seen after the statements from the spokesperson of the north american empire and those who support them no one can be so naive to believe this is a random event it is an attack on our homeland. cannot be normal that fifty percent of the hospitals do not have electric generators and the other fifty. during an emergency the government is inefficient and corrupt and we know that the end of darkness comes when the usurpers leave power in venezuela according to president maduro power supplies were restored for seventy percent of the country on saturday but the network is now out of action again and he says that is due to another cyber attack. security alert has been triggered to add one of moscow's main airports

after a mortar shell was discovered in the luggage of a u.s. embassy staff member but in a question over has been quite a bizarre incident took place this saturday at moscow should be made to the airport one u.s. embassy employee trying to take more tertiary through the airport in his luggage now it was reported that it contained no explosives the but it did have a detonator it was revealed to be in the legacy during a routine extreme check right at the entrance of the airport it was confiscated and of course this incident triggered a major alert and even a bomb squad was called and the russian foreign ministry has already called this a provocation and also added that it hopes the u.s. embassy will explain the behavior off its employees. the battle against corruption the influence of so-called dark money in the u.s. election process is being ramped up with a bill backed by the democrats. h.r.

one is designed to do that to restore ethics and accountability to fight back against the interests of big money in our politics and one. restores the people's faith that government works with the public interest the people's in chest not the special interests but of course it's politics and the republicans have accused the democrats of a power grab claiming the move will not solve the problem artie's came up and takes up the story. wherever you go in america you can see a widespread feeling that much of the government can be bought off that's why trump got so much applause with this slogan we are going to dream. it's one more time to dream this shit wafts want to up we are going to bring. this one just swap out. the. whole show that

a pretty solid majority of americans want new laws to restrict the amount of money that can be contributed to political candidates that's why the democrats have decided to sound the alarm about a new sinister force in american politics dark money special interest dark money from the campaign the permission is influence of dark money in our politics the stork money there's no disclosure about who's been growing the center for the executive branch is drowning in big money corruption so for dealing and lawlessness dark soft money coming into the election process so what exactly is dark money well it's money contributed by non-profits social welfare organizations labor unions and trade associations all of which are not required to disclose who their donors are so essentially it's dark money because it's off the books nancy pelosi has voiced her concerns this is about instilling the confidence of the american people in the political process in what happens in government it is the people's interests that

are being served not. doris that interest of that special interest money but here's the thing in the congressional midterm elections the democrats actually received more dark money than the republicans did the group majority forward closely tied to democratic senator chuck schumer spent forty six million dollars in ten different senate races and even money out of politics socialist because you cortez has actually been facing some recent harsh questions about dark money that she received we decided to talk to new yorkers and see how they feel about dark money and politics it should be happening and it's a deeply complicated flaw of the united states to. know it's legal lou smart what's good i think transparency is best when it comes to money the dark art of dark money is not divided along party lines but there are plenty of questionable contributions in american politics that are right out in the open from big oil companies banks and defense contractors it seems that yes dark money sounds scary but it may not be

the biggest problem in american politics the problem use of dark money at the problem is in america the money seems to find a way other ways to influence politics so they know trying to expose dark money is not really going to change anything they've had their own major problems for the democrats really want to have a change in the conversation and clearly that's what they're pushing here this entire bill is nothing but a flagrant attempt to hang on to their thin grasp on power. b.o.'s movement has once again taken to the streets of paris in its continuing stand against the french government one thousand arrests have been made so far this weekend. thank you.

so much i. was. authorities used tear gas after violence reportedly flared among the crowds in paris more than twenty eight thousand protesters have taken to the streets across the country which is the lowest figure since the movement began back in november clashes have also erupted in the yonge where hundreds of demonstrators gathered there are reports of a number of injuries there yellow vest protests are demanding improved living standards that is despite attempts to quell the flames by scrapping fuel tax hikes and launching a so-called national debate. a book promoting the conspiracy theory q and on and has hit the best seller list on amazon q and on is known both for its controversial allegations against the us deep state and its support for president trump donald quarter comments. you've seen the trails in the sky heard about how

reptiles and chemicals in the water are making the earth flat but now there's a conspiracy theory claiming democrats are murdering children and the deep state is creating diseases and this one is getting rave reviews on amazon great read it exposes things that are going on that the mainstream movie. thank you very much for spreading truth in the end justice will be served and freedom will prevail truth shall set us free theory once lurking in the darkest corners of read it and four chan is now under the spotlight and thanks to who the mainstream talking heads who decided to trash on it probably played a part to q. and a on conspiracy theory group called q anon you went on which essentially believes the entirety of the democratic party are conspiring and running an underground pedophile sex trafficking ring it with already has watched this kind of thing there's no surprise these q. and a long conspiracy folks are now showing

a patrol brownlee's this is all insane and incoherent with how little americans trust the media these days the call outs are working more like promo q. and on rose to amazon's number one bestseller in censorship and politics it's even pushed aside classics like the dystopian novel fahrenheit four fifty one if you're looking to expose the masses to some controversial content mainstream attack sometimes don't go far enough to censor it like when platforms banned info wars conspiracy theorist alex jones you tube facebook and apple all announcing their own moving his content from their platforms they only actually took action after weeks of media pressure after jones' popularity shot through the roof you tube users viewed his talk on joe rogan's podcast about ten million times it was a perfect platform for all the android elves and drug crazed aliens they've got like astronaut level. people taking super hardcore levels of drugs and going into

meetings with these things and making interval act it deals the nazis to get the deep literature they believed they were being possessed by entities that were psychically connected to each other and would work like robots here is what the elite believes. the elves are biological androids the grace this ng theories on television clearly doesn't work but promoting conspiracy theories well that's a different story some people actually have some type of paranoid delusions or they have paranoid personality so they tend to see connections among things that other people don't see bands on social media only strengthen the conspiracy theorists because they say if it wasn't such a terrible thing that we discovered they wouldn't be hiding it would be suppressing us so a it given that belief that there is something being covered up and beat it makes them feel even more self right just saying that i am one of the few people left you

know to promote the truth i have to do it and they're more motivated to find some way to promote whatever pet theory or conspiracy theory they have. street clashes in the ukrainian capital have left at least fifteen police officers injured. more than two thousand people gathered in central kiev demanding the president put a shame cause resignation tensions spilled over when demonstrators threw smoke bombs at police who responded with tear gas this comes after a probe was launched into the embezzlement of millions of dollars from the country's military the case involves an arms factory controlled by the president and opposition politicians have called for him to be put on trial bush and co denies the allegations calling them politically motivated. u.s. whistleblower chelsea manning is once again in jail that story much more after a short break you are watching international.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race on. spearing dramatic to follow only closely. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit down and talk. it's a really interesting duel between two dystopian nightmares brave new world the next ninety four as they say you know you're in heaven there and that's a brave new world. is essentially you're clicking on discrediting yourself and then re crediting your soft through video games that would be more like i think brave new world is so much. digital. do you ask. for what it's

like when an actual cellphone national. international and u.s. army whistleblower chelsea manning is back in prison that is after she refused to touch manning's lawyer plans to appeal against the sentence this is an appealable order judge hilton did find her in contempt in open court well it's certainly a typical for this kind of proceeding as everybody has tremendous courage our primary concern at this point is her well she is confined chelsea manning a formerly known as bradley manning first came into prominence in two thousand and ten after handling classified military data and sending it over to wiki leaks it

cost her thirty five year jail sentence however after serving seven of those years manning was released by then president obama there was a blower was aware she could be taken back into custody. i have a history of having to deal with secrecy and a lot of these secret proceedings they tend to favor the government they tend to allow things they are notorious goings on happened so i am i am in general opposition of that kind of the secrecy of this i have no problem explaining what happened and i've done it before why we should go through this in a secret closed hearing with only the prosecutor no lawyer. all right manning a lead to more than seven hundred thousand confidential documents and videos here is some of what was revealed in a bit of warning you may find some of the following images disturbing. iran. doesn't have a. human

rights campaigner peter tatchell believes it is suspicious that the hearing was conducted out of the public eye. what does the u.s. government introducing system have to hide why can't they conduct these hearings and these charges in open court in this case it's all being done in secret which flies against the fundamental democratic traditional principle but just the should be open and transparent and i think chelsea manning is quite right to shine a spotlight on the secrecy of the grand jury system and the way in which is weighted towards the prosecution and against defendants joining us on himself has been subject to secret grand jury hearings since two thousand and ten he's never

been allowed to know the charges against him or evidence he's not being given any kind of information whatsoever and again this is completely contrary to the basic fundamental principle of justice that should be open transparent and accountable. all right a six year old boy from southern russia is being hailed a hero he's helped to rescue and more than one hundred stray animals his experience with. those of those. i love animals it's my goal to take them and give them shelter and find them a good home. but

i simply cannot let them live on the streets freezing cold weather during the winter it's very cold and hard for them to find food but we still rescue them in the summer to. make sure proof i just want to take care of animals i'm. from a special forces officer. i'll be back in thirty seven minutes with more news to watch our international stay with us. question countries are very reluctant to recognize the fact that is that is why mike formally and also to make that they were perhaps stronger. condemning him or siding against him so with glee in the early stages of the war so they're terrified to undermine the reconstruction process by the prolongation of sanctions i think

that was in countries with winds as intuition where this is serious we can start to you know ways in which is really started by a third power not russia and iran not by the west or by the g.c.c. or by china. this is this is a stick from the water bottle found in the stomach of a fish the brand is part of the coca-cola company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that let's tell consumers there are the bad ones there are the litter bugs are trying this way industry should be blamed for all this waste the company has long promised to reuse the plastic. that's soon. in their plastic. tank when you special projects funded. online your best bet is the end of it for the city but for now the mountains of

moist only grow. up and someone. bought thing aquatic caution. for you. to come from up there and i don't think i want to. justify. putting a focus with a couple that i. just got out he. was physically ok so i. was you know for a while for you i think i think i'll. take out i want to go home to find. it on faith no nothing. not that in a way out of fear of the thing. what if i don't want to kill the united.

fifth. during the great depression which i'm old enough to remember there was most of my family were unemployed. and it wasn't it was bed you know much worse objectively than today but there was an expectation that things were going to get better. there was a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america was shaped by the turn principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduced democracy attack solo doubt to engineer elections manufacture consent and other principles according to no on chomsky one set of rules for the rich ops etc. that's what happens when you put her into the hands of

a narrow sector of wilf which rule is dedicated to increasing power for chills just as you'd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of america. thank you i'm going to do now this is a comedy show we're americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents good to have you with us so bernie sanders kicked off his presidential campaign in brooklyn this past weekend with some fans who. put this segment is not about bernie sanders because the presidential election is in for over

a year and a half from now and to me talking about it now feels like talking about how exactly you're going to clean the a like a dog off your carpet that you're pretty positive will occur in nineteen months from now. you know it might be useful to discuss but there are more important things right now and i'd prefer to talk about ideas because ideas matter and many of bernie's ideas are scary to the ruling elite right granted it's a bit funny to give a speech go and do you medicare for all. you are let me why. do you why because. then follow me to the completely unaccountable black box voting machine with no way for example making it the worst voting system in the western world. they were right.

but that aside though point is these ideas are not what your corporate rulers want to hear and that's why it's important for the mainstream media to act like they are toxic ideas charitable ideas so imus n.b.c. covered bernie sanders speech this week and had on a little panel to discuss it here is the first person rick tyler. response problem with his story and about bernie sanders and general bernie sanders father was jewish he was a polish refugee he escaped from naziism and you would think that the lesson that bernie sanders would have learned about immigrants in united states we're now the son of a jewish refugee is running for president is that a prosperous capitalist society works for people yeah. what are yours should have learned from his father's escape from the nazis is that unfettered capitalism rocks. really i would think the take away i would have been

nazis. was. there yes. they called it a prosperous capitalist society is it prosperous to the sixty one percent yes sixty one percent of americans who can't afford a transpired to the living room their right which is happening more because their deity is what. would it be considered prosperous that last year five hundred thirty thousand families turn to bankruptcy due to medical bills and do you care that a lot of that prosperity comes from an economy of death in which defense stocks and wall street's soul or on the specter of war why hasn't bernie learned about the prosperity. and that is rick either continues on his anti-socialism tirade the host i want you to watch as the host

accidentally trips him up a prosperous capitalist society.
