that should be happening and it's see. it's legal illegal. broadcasting. international thomas glad to have you with us. the venezuelan capital has been gripped by rival marches for and against president. voicing their anger over food and medicine shortages along with a nationwide blackout and a self-proclaimed interim leader won by doe addressed the crowd calling on foreign powers to bring down the government. thank you so you feel safe thank . you crush the coup attempts. we try to fabricate this whole show

claiming the military will join with there is only one answer yes to loyalty and no to the trail and that medicine is a clown pocket in the criminal. the battle over the venezuelan presidency has dragged on since january but nichols monroe 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 r.t. as you go shoot down of comments the us is back to square one on venezuela and an ambiguous confession by vice president pence how much language you have a timeline but there is no timeline now rewind of just a little over a month ago and here's mike pence the same mike pence announcing venezuela was on washington's laundry list in spanish over. 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 starts 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 as 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. venice and 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 hooves 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 can you support him and is looking like a shrinking power and expanding and so this coup seems to fill them fortunately in the united states will try other attempts are not going to give up as the u.s. talks about. colombia saying no brazil saying no european governments are saying no people do not want to see that kind of escalation its coalition is the way those for the united states is really in a small box that shrinking venezuelan president nicolas maduro has accused the u.s. of carrying out a cyber attack on saturday bringing the electricity network down supplies had been

briefly restored after thursday's blackout but are now down again meanwhile people are finding ways of coping with the situation. have perishable goods that are spoiling and managed to recover the car to the cash register to make it work and we have a very sad because the food is getting spoiled we have to buy carefully have to walk through almost the entire area to find a place where it's ok to buy because businesses are selling food that's not safe but at the bit of the town i'm protesting because i want a different government there is no electricity no water no food the government should step down you know i'm here to defend the democratic choice of all people when we voted for nicolas maduro as our president under the constitution he is the only president unlike one door and proclaimed himself it is a coup and a violation of our democracy and freedom and. this is what the main international

airport in caracas looked like when all flights were grounded limited operations have resumed but thousands of people are still stranded there says the material government is to blame for the situation after years of corruption and under-investment earlier venezuela's defense ministry though called the outage an act of sabotage by washington. after all we have seen after the statements from the spokesperson of the north american empire and those who support them here 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. operate 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. is security alert has been triggered at one of moscow's main airports after a mortar shell was discovered in the luggage of a u.s.

embassy staff member or his body 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 turf shells 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 in 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 and 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 so fight back

against the interests of big money in our politics h o one. restores the people state that government works with the public interest the people's interest not the special interests of the republicans have accused the democrats of a power grab claiming the move will not solve the problem or to kill him up and take up the story for us. 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. this. time for three years to walk the sois we are going through. this one just swap. 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 to influence of dark money in our politics 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 that 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 the dark special 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. dark money in politics it should be happening and it's a deeply complicated flaw of the united states to. know it's legal legal smart pretty much 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 may be the

influence of money itself the democrats are making great use of dark money at the problem is in america the money seems to find 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. the yellow vest movement has once again taken to the streets of paris in its continuing stand against the french government one thousand arrests have been me.

i don't know. i. authorities used tear gas after violent reportedly flared among the crowds in paris more than twenty thousand protesters have taken to the streets across the country which is actually the lowest figure since the movement began back in november and clashes have also left in the young where hundreds of demonstrations gather. there are reports of a number of injuries as well the yellow vest protesters are demanding improve living standards and 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 has hit the best seller list on amazon q naan is known both for its controversial allegations against the u.s. deep state and its support for president trump or his donald quarter comments.

you've seen the trails in the sky hard about how reptiles and chemicals in the water are making the earth flat but now there's q. and a conspiracy theory claiming democrats are murdering children in 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 will not report 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 reddit 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 q. and a on conspiracy theory group called q on. on you and on which essentially leaves 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 queueing on conspiracy folks are no showing of the

troll brownlee's this is all insane and incoherent with how little americans trust the media these days the call outs are working more like promos q. and on rose to amazon's number one bestseller in censorship in 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 deals the nazis get the deep literature they believed they were being possessed by the entity's they were sadly connected to each other and would work like robots here's what you really believe. the elves are biological androids the grace this ng theories on television clearly doesn't work by 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 bans on social media only strengthen the conspiracy theorists because they say if that wasn't such a you know a terrible thing that we've discovered they wouldn't be hiding it they wouldn't 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

a short break this is our international. join me every thursday on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm sure. i'll see you then. question countries are very reluctant to recognize the fact that assad is one like formally and also to admit that they were perhaps wrong. in the early stages of the war so. undermined the reconstruction process by the prolongation of sanctions i think it was in countries. as you ation where this is serious we can start to you know ways in which he started to power russia and iran not by the west

and by the g.c.c. . international and u.s. army whistleblower chelsea manning is back in prison that is after she refused to testify in front of a grand jury in a case against wiki leaks founder julian assange lawyer plans to appeal the judge's order. this is an appealable order judge hilton did find her in contempt of court who is certainly a typical out for this kind of proceeding as everybody knows chelsea has tremendous

courage our primary concern at this point is her how well she is confined chelsea manning formerly known as bradley manning first came into prominence in two thousand and ten after handing out classified military data to wiki leaks it cost her a thirty five year jail sentence however after serving seven of those years manning was released by then president obama the whistleblower was where she could be taken back into custody of all of 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'm i am in general opposition of that kind of of this kind of proceeding taking place i believe in the grand jury process i don't believe in the seeking 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. manning

lead to more than seven hundred thousand confidential documents and videos here's some of what was revealed a warning though you may find some of the following images disturbing. and. to the. human rights campaigner peter tatchell believes it is suspicious that the hearing was conducted out of the public. what does the u.s. government and reduce the 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 digital principle that justice 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 during a science 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 the 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 it should be open transparent and accountable. for space x. and tesla founder often gets in trouble for his posts on twitter investors or investors excuse me are now suing him for his so-called mis statements but he's getting some appreciation from russia of all places. and.
