should be happening and. it's legal. to have you with us 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 self-proclaimed interim leader. dressed to the crowd calling on foreign powers to bring down the government. thank you did a solution to excess . we crushed the coup attempt. to 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 mr though is a clown a puppet 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 up position leader by doa has no back up plan to put him in office or to easy go down of as commentary the us is back to square one on venezuela and an ambiguous confession by vice president pence how much longer do you have a timeline but there's 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. 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 your syrup or and call for the establishment of a transitional government that was the moment washington put itself into regime change gear 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 go to war one in europe where you go you know. since then though america's plans

started to go into a frantic nosedive my duro wasn't going anywhere in still has the army on his side and his supporters showed the opposition didn't own the streets of caracas. after venice china. asked venezuela then a big ruckus with aid the u.s. trade getting into venezuela and which material didn't allow concerned washington was using its old trick to smuggle guns to arm 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 scored 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 all options are on 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 that same bill 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 crusade to do a failed unfortunate means the united states will try other attempts are not going to give up as the us talks about escalating toward militarism colombia saying no brazil saying no european governments are saying no people do not want to see that kind of escalation its coalition is for a way goes and so the united states is really in a small box that's shrinking venezuelan president nicolas maduro has accused the

u.s. of carrying out cyber attacks bringing the electricity down in the country supplies had been briefly restored after thursday's blackout but are now down again. riot police are out in force in caracas bracing for further unrest with many businesses forced to close due to the outage and limited transport thousands of people have been amassing on the streets meanwhile the lack of refrigeration has added to the food crisis leaving people struggling to cope. will have perishable goods that are spoiled and i managed to rig out of the car but to the cash register to make it. i mean we have 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 not because business is a selling food that's not say. well this is what the main international airport in caracas looked like when all flights were grounded limited. operations have now resumed but thousands of people are still stranded there one says the federal

government is to blame for the outage after years of corruption and under investment but the venezuelan defense ministry has called it an act of sabotage by washington. is security alert has been triggered out of one of moscow's main airports after a mortar shell was discovered in the luggage of a u.s. embassy staff member or he's been a question of 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 turd 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 employee. 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 of 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 interest not the special interests. but the republicans well they have accused the democrats of a power grab claiming the move will not solve the problem art has come up and has been . 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. that one more

time to dream just wafts why we are going through. this one to 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 surfer 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 the darkness the. 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 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 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 arrests have been made as of this moment. thank. god was. florida's used tear gas after violence reportedly flared among the crowds in paris more than twenty thousand protesters have taken to the streets across the country which is the lowest figure since the movement began back in november crushes have also erupted in the leone where hundreds of demonstrations that gathered. there are reports of a number of injuries the yellow vests protests are demanding improved living standards and that is despite the many muslims attempts to quell the flames by scrapping fuel tax hikes and the launching of so-called national debate. a

because they say if it wasn't such a you know a terrible thing that we discovered they wouldn't be hiding it they 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 the more motivated to find some way to promote whatever pet theory or conspiracy theory they have. all right it's a fun week but it's tough on your waistline pancake week is underway in russia or muslim youths as it is known here festivities marking the period before lent the week ends with the burning of effigies to chase away the cold and darkness of the big long winter a season that's welcome a contemporary art village outside the city of kaluga got creative with its effigy a twenty metre high wooden replica of the historical best steel fortress in paris.

a case against wiki leaks founder julian assange manning's lawyer plans to appeal against the ruling. this is an appealable order judge hilton did find her in contempt in open court who is certainly a typical 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 to prominence in two thousand and ten after handing classified military data to wiki leaks it cost her a thirty five years jail sentence however after serving seven of those years manning was released by then president barack obama was a blower was aware she could be taken back into custody though 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 you know and if various 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 sick 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 that lead to more than seven hundred thousand confidential documents and videos here's some of what was revealed and a bit of a warning you may find some of the following images disturbing. on. 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 assigned 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
