was. i. had lunch marty today brazil's president faces a political scandal after reports of. germany's accountable for the deadly drone strikes in yemen directed and controlled from the u.s. based on german soil it cool takes one by the families of the victim. to spark outrage among u.s. democrats dismissing the party claim twelve years left to save the earth. good morning thanks for taking the time to chill in this morning it's eleven am here in moscow this wednesday the twenty eighth of march when is kevin zero in here

for the next thirty minutes with world news update for you the president of brazil's been dubbed the trump of the tropics for his right leaning views indeed he chose the united states is the destination for his first official forum visit to jumpstart that relationship. also know that we're going to have a fantastic working relationship. we have many views that are similar and we certainly feel very very true to each other on trade i think brazil's relationship with the united states because of our friendship is probably better than it's ever been by far more civil to. respect whatever the ballots tell us on twenty twenty but i do believe donald trump is going to be reelected foully level cue up little pasado esteem cuomo thank you for a factory could be a good job as you well makes began to cheer enough note with today's exchange in football shirts with each other's name on will that might come as

a relief for jaya both narrow two he's facing a political scandal back at home over reports of his alleged ties to violent gangs mopup as more of those allegations back at home also now is facing a pretty serious political scandal not over his words but over his ties to right wing paramilitary groups something brazil wasn't torrijos for.

earlier this month two former police officers were arrested and. charged with the killing of mariel franco a left wing elected official now when the police raided the home they found one hundred seventeen automatic rifles as well as computers full of intelligence information on left wing journalists activists and politicians so where was this mini command center of extremism located well it turns out it was on the same block as both an r o's home in fact a photo of both sonora with one of the suspected killers has surfaced when confronted about it also nora gave a flat out denial media that has always criticised me they wanted to simplistically a connection but i never saw the gentleman in my gated community i don't read is

going to have much time to you know you can gauge in social life with them this is not the only tie to extremism back in january five former leaders of a right wing gang were arrested and it was revealed that the wife and daughter of one of the gang leaders was actually employed by bolsa narrow son flavio son of the brazilian leader joined his father in taking a photograph with the gang leaders at a birthday party furthermore flavio also gave an award to one of the gang members a medal of honor some of his friends it's. seen old full to the wrist most teachers listen to the show and then. it is. a shift in the position of the president in the presidency now there was an incident back in two thousand and eleven that also raise suspicion a judge was murdered after a controversial trial and we heard this interesting statement from balsa narrow son . made this judge be with god but the absurd and. police offices and court

sessions contributed to having many enemies. so when balsa gnarls sat down with donald trump he had some pretty serious charges hanging over his head a lot more serious than say unreleased tax returns now both scenario before he met with donald trump sat down with another powerful u.s. entity the u.s. central intelligence agency now the cia's ties to right wing extremists and death squads in south and central america is hardly new information and at this point there got to be folks inside of trump's team who are wondering if his photo op with this rightwing brazilian counterpart is really such a good idea to look up and r.t. new york more news lines out of it president from use the joint briefing with the brazilian leader the president would do if a choking venezuela's economy is happening there is a disgrace this was one of the wealthiest countries in the world and all of

a sudden it's just it's grief stricken poverty stricken no food no water no air conditioning no anything no power for a long time last week no power and that's going to break down again because it's being held together by threats but interesting to note meantime while washington claims venezuela is completely impoverished two filmmakers who spent a month shooting a documentary in caracas told us the situation is not as bad as being portrayed in western media they said the findings of nikolay called him. but i guess it's nice to have you know it maybe you'll feel some of those medals on c.n.n. you said. that i guess you don't live in the us a i was. thinking let me know things. before they. just bought this book that i'm going to consume actually when i arrived in caracas before before actually as a sort of take a few steps back before i went to venice where there are

a lot of people i know in the journalist community is there well actually alan maybe you should take a parcel going to venezuela you know the crime rate is around this the economic and social situation is appalling not to mention the political situation and actually when i arrived i mean life was still bustling in caracas i mean people were still going to jobs people were still continuing with their lives people going to find it hard to believe at the u.n. say three point four million but as wayland have fled to the country three point four million people don't leave the country if everything's ok or at least manageable. well this is interesting i wonder where these figures come because according to the government in people cheating last year seven percent of. you know school. during that particular measure it went for seven percent up so also a hundred and twenty thousand. actually settle last year in minnesota.

hyperinflation it concentrates on those things but it still seems like cheap like electricity bills bills other things give us a rounded picture of this because you spent a month in venezuela more recently than not probably most of our audience did and let's face it you work in the news business you know that pictures of suffering sells more than than anything else but even in troubled countries life has a spectrum so alan give us a fuller picture then life in venezuela tough as it is how is it really. as you said it is tough i mean it is hard i would say yes this is our moment columnist but i would say definitely the government has made mistakes but i would also say the u.s. sanctions and he definitely sort of feel you know the effect of u.s. sanctions in the sense of lack of u.s. dollars the lack of being able to use your u.s. financial instruments and i mean i would say that people here do. you know you have

the society functions and we thought you funny interesting to see that well regardless of the conflicting information on the effects of the u.s. sanctions donald trump is squeezing venezuela's economy. but we haven't done the toughest of sanctions as you know we've done. i would say right down the middle but we can go a lot tougher if we need to do that effect of all this american sanctions on venezuela and iran the fueled oil prices machine to twenty one thousand high choose day the rise has also been supported by ongoing supply cuts from all cartel opec last year u.s. oil production exports climbed significantly chartier it comes amid washington's reliance on shale production.

sanctions play a key role in not only propping up the price of oil but also in allowing u.s. oil producers to gain a larger market share if you have sanctions and i you're reducing the opportunity for the iranians and then israel is to sell their oil well that means the u.s. shale producers can sell their oil through their refineries and on the texas coast in the northeast that previously used venezuelan oil and for example i don't think that the price of oil can stay where it is i think is slowly going to decline notwithstanding whatever the saudis and russia do and nigeria and others with regard to the production cuts i think they have a slowing in europe and slowing in china and now the slowing of the economy in the u.s. and that's why the sanctions will probably continue and maybe even intensify to try

to reduce the supply to get the price back up. german government has legal responsibility for u.s. drone strikes directed and controlled from jenin territories according to a recent court ruling in a case brought by families of civilian victims in yemen daniel holkins reports from belin. landmark case in germany with the court in the city of months the ruling that the german government does bear at least partial responsibility for ensuring that the use of its air base in the southern city of ramstein by the united states air force does out here strictly to international law in two thousand and twelve three yemenis lost relatives five sell been. lost his brother in law asylum been a new job or who was an alongside his brother will lead in a u.s. drone strike the germans through an air base on german soil were involved in these strikes and what had happened to my family and it is possible that my family would

not have been a target of such strikes and drenched an air base not provided such information the case was initially dismissed by a court in cologne back in twenty fifteen the court has now ruled that in fact the base did play a central role in facilitating the relaying of data for drone strikes in yemen judges ordered the government to take all appropriate measures through ensure that the u.s. force was complying with international law and to press washington if necessary to get the answers they required it also ordered the government to investigate the questions and the concerns put forward by the family surrounding the legality of that airstrike that gave the sermon he addressed the killings conduct of al qaeda and challenge them to present a religious authority that is willing to debate with him so he can demonstrate to the people that this behavior of al-qaeda is wrong he was taken out by the american strike unfortunately he was not killed by al qaeda he was killed by an american

missile germany is a country that stopped arms shipments to saudi arabia which is a key player in the yemeni conflict described as one of the worst humanitarian catastrophes of this century and also a key u.s. ally however the use of the ramstein air base for facilitating. strikes has carried on this has come in for criticism from human rights representatives i think it is definitely a constant a contradiction that the german government is saying that the arms sales to the saudis for the were in yemen have to be stopped and at the same time. do not intervene to stop the drone strikes on yemen via ramstein air base this court case hasn't played out entirely how the job or family wanted it to they were hoping for a complete ban on the use of ramstein air force for anything to do with u.s. drone strikes in yemen any german government has said they will look into the

ruling they will study it carefully but this can be viewed as an important first step in perhaps looking at the legality of various international legal framework surrounding the use of ramstein air base for conducting unmanned drone strikes in the conflict. reporting for years seems doomsdays apparently been delayed reasons to be cheerful though some fact checking but news agency exposed flaws in claims by u.s. democrats there's just over a decade left to save the earth from global warming if you put trying to explain it all even back when t.v.'s look like that kids cartoons would portray those saving us from pollution as superheroes i want. to. see today you just can't be a successful democrat and presidential hopeful without being

a bit of captain planet democrats be like how do i sound and make republicans look bad at the same time. thank god there is climate change the scientists are absolutely unanimous on this that we have no more than twelve years to take incredibly bold action on this crisis what the intergovernmental panel on climate change say is that we have twelve years twelve years and we're like the world is going to end in twelve years if we don't address climate change why this kerry deadline of twelve years a few months ago u.n. environmental experts put together yet another alarming report showing the earth is continuing to heat up it's bad for the planet and everyone who lives on it some interpret it the following way experts say that we have until twenty thirty to avoid catastrophe the world has little more than a decade time is running out to prevent global warming and he says the time's up

andrea that the world has to do something we're reaching the cliff edge a little faster quite a bit faster and so it snowballed into a big trendy protest children have the impression their generation could be doomed . that we have twelve years to turn this around but suddenly there's that hoops moment the associated press checks what those who want to run for the white house after say for facts what was it that mr o'rourke said again the scientists are absolutely unanimous on this that we have no more than twelve years so a.p. actually got in touch with the scientists the panel did not say we have twelve years left to save the world this has been a persistent source of confusion the report never said we only have twelve years left well have a look at what they wrote on some liberal websites after the a.p.

piece came out that's right on climate and the a.p. fact check is wrong it is the a.p. this is incorrect about climate change. not baiter overall oh sure how can a democrat candidate get something wrong especially when his party essentially chose to rely on the so-called green new deal ahead of the election it's a set of proposals to address climate change and just can't lead down your next generation of voters as a matter of faith and belief by guys like bedo and others who are walk out and say the world is going to end his twelve years and not receive any pushback and there's no laughter there's no one going oh you've got to be kidding me there's no one standing up to them and say you've clearly lost your mind but you have a bunch of coreligionists of nodding in going yes it's terrible it must do something elections and in this country anyway are not about basic level they're about turning out your base and keeping the other guy's votes home and if you want

to turn out your base if you're a leftist candidate preaching about climate change or how the other side is determined to see us all die horribly that's going to do get the job done for you. son of the time is still going to which twenty years ago with a fantasy book to hit it big exceptional script we're going to out of marketing which was probably all that was needed sufficiently but these days things are a bit different you're expected not only to write in floating story but also to address current political and social trends but what you do with your old bestseller doesn't quite measure up to these exacting new standards will perhaps you could tweak your characters a bit to fit the bill. why can't you can. i can't control.

their relationship was incredibly intense it was passionate and it was enough relationship i'm less interested in the sexual side so i believe there is a section to mention to this relationship. wow in another great revelation from j.k. rowling. j.k. rowling confirm some cuts in the police abuse ok everywhere except in the books of the movies there were scenes in the z. that like cut time and how they remained it would clearly shown temple joe the scale i just received an hour from here who should not be. aware of this don't tell me voldemort has retained her don't phone demote jerry mike. white can was never specified molly knobs not mine. mine is michael specifics now from behind

a tree. you remember yeah what a guy yeah he's a transgender. and i'm using a wheelchair i have down syndrome what is this character is actually i don't know all of them. she pokes notes about gay relationships that simply a fact but obviously what she does do is after a few years you know where the ticket sales are down and where they sells the books it out there what she does he she just comes up with a few little things to get out into the media and there's a saying look good luck to her you know this is show business and she has the rights to do that but i don't think that most people look at the reports of coke and think if one of the great works of gay liberation that is ever existed in the world i'm not like so because it's intended for children and i don't think that it's appropriate to explore very adult fables when you're dealing with children.

this is a good morning for the rest the team still to come off the break of the prominent politician jumps ship in canada over a corruption scandal is threatening to derail the prime minister's hopes for another term. most of us believe we live in a society based on merit and equal justice the varsity blues college admissions scandal conformists that both are true the rich and privileged can buy access for their kids at the expense of families who are hard working and don't is the idea of marriage. for the wealthy in america decided we're up playing anymore we're going to just grab as much as we can of the cash out there in the system and put it off shore and that's why there's not

twenty two trillion off shore and battle of credit in the system shrunk the central bank instead of punishing the banks just flooded the system with more of the fia money and then those who are the paranoid jocks versus the have nots decided you know we're going to put that more offshore so they just keep trying and shipping it off shore in a completely bypassing the economy and so the economy is getting more starved for credit and the people are getting more rest. headlines this wednesday for you fire crews about lead a massive blaze in the petrochemical plant outside hoost in texas the fire that's been raging for three days now was at a storage facility for highly flammable components for gasoline glue and fin is just but my scope control of it is now minimal risk of explosion but the still be
