outlets are now blaming trump for making them suspicious in the first place. good evening this is r.t. international. russia's foreign minister has accused the united states are treating latin america like a colony comments come in response to washington's claims of russian military interference in venezuela i teased on a quarter explain. this weekend gave way to a big hype over russian military planes appearing in caracas they were carrying cargo and around one hundred military personnel from the russian federation now we've seen russian the russian foreign ministry's explanation for their presence there now and they're suggesting that there was nothing illegal or clandestine about it saying that it was all within the bounds of international law and the military technical agreement they've had with the venezuelan government since two

thousand and one now the move to send what moscow calls military advisors to venezuela sparked serious criticism from washington who is now pushing for regime change in the country now mike pompei on monday said that this move seriously increased tensions in the region while national security advisor john bolton said he would not tolerate any meddling from hostile military powers with the western hemisphere's shared goals of democracy prompting a prompt response from moscow united states will not tolerate whole style foreign military power as meddling with the western hemisphere's shared goals of democracy security and the rule of law the venezuelan military must stand with the people of venezuela top u.s. representatives who failed to change the lawful regime in caracas partly thanks to russia's steadfast position and the maintenance of the international law claimed they won't tolerate interference from hostile foreign powers in the western

hemisphere is a thing as this clearly demonstrates washington's approach to venezuela and all latin american governments who are practically denied suffering now moscow also attacked the us this foreign policy towards latin america saying that these their policies today are actually. in stark resemblance to their colonial policies from two hundred years ago they also suggested that washington continues to view latin america as basically the countries the u.s. is back door now moscow also rejected criticism from the washington. based organization of american states who said that russia actually broke venezuela's constitution by sending these troops and that they should have asked the self-proclaimed president of venezuela one who i don't know the leader of the opposition and the national assembly the us has once again decided to bring order to latin america starting with venezuela we regret that the organization of american states has aided washington in strengthening its colonial habits as if

unaware that any other country in the region getting turning fall under u.s. pressure so many a lot of talk about possible military interventions on the u.s.'s side throughout this crisis this arrival of russian troops on these planes is definitely a game changer going forward. the u.n. security council has met over the escalation between israel and palestine idea of tanks have lined up along the gaza border after fighter jets attacked palestinian territory in response to alleged rocket fire tensions are rising amid washington's recognition of israeli sovereignty over syria's golan heights an issue that was raised by the security council meeting yesterday president trump signed a proclamation recognizing the golan heights as israeli territory a decision of critical strategic and security importance to the state of israel. through a new show to please no new intellectual steps such as the recognition of israel's

sovereignty over the golan heights to not change the status of these territories which is determined by the resolutions of the security council and those who are complicit in these crimes must not be speared sensor or accountability including as concerns the annexation attempts of jerusalem and the syrian golan the exchange of fire comes a stunning trump officially recognize israeli sovereignty over the golan heights area the un regards as occupied syrian territory earlier artie's it is done after because the issue with my colleague nativity. well the international community has been somewhat pushed under the bus by this whole decision is the most vocal and this have been of course the arab countries the whole of arab league made public a joint statement condemning the decision really standing out a condemnation by saudi arabia for instance you know washington's bestie in the gulf so it kind of tells the scale of the fallout this this trumps decision has had

to also has condemned the move russia voiced its concerns in regards to the stability of the middle east because moscow believes that such a decision by trump really undermines that so also will syria of course it's its their territories that's how the international community that's how the u.n. sees the golan heights as a syrian territory the u.s. policy on golan is reflected in the relevant resolutions of the security council and that policy has not changed year opinion in line with international law does not recognize israel's sovereignty over to territories occupied by israel since june one thousand nine hundred sixty seven including the golan heights and does not consider them to be part of israel's territory i suppose we need to understand what exactly is at stake here and israel back in the eighty's in the course of a war it was occupied by israel and that is how it is classified internationally

that's how u.n. puts it it is a syrian territory or by israel. one of joe that a lot of the story you know you don. we who live in the occupied golan heights we dismiss the u.s. president's foolish recognition of the territory as israeli we want to tell him our fathers and grandfathers built their blood on this land and you don't have a right to do that yesterday it was jerusalem where day and the golan heights and tomorrow it might be another syrian territory. true loves israel and wants to give

her something she should give what is to give not what belongs to someone else he has fifty one states he can give israel want to with them but the golan heights are not his property they are not his to give away now not the entirety of the golan heights is de facto under the control of israel there's a small portion of it that is still under damascus is control and i was lucky enough to visit that last year back in twenty eight scene and really was something of a turnaround moment i think for that part of the golan heights because when i went there it was mere weeks after the syrian army and the russian jets liberated that area from the control of i saw there were certain pockets of islamic state there like for instance we have heard the opposing. transposition from the international community what about israel though surely this is the best they could hope for

indeed for israel it is the best outcome but i go out on a limb and say i can name one person who's particularly happened that things are shaping out as the and that is the prime minister benjamin netanyahu because he's facing elections in a couple of weeks and in the run up to these elections he's been embroiled in a massive nasty corruption scandal now that he's thrown effectively he's thrown a bone to all those in israel sharing the nationalist tension he not only has jerusalem recognized by the united states as the capital of israel but also he now has the golan heights. explain answer middle east expert here in a ben menachem great to have you on your knee what do you think the u.s. recognition of this region the golan heights is going to maine for security for the people there. i think the whole thing. actually artificial because. as we know these

lands were ok you paid by israeli in the war in one thousand and sixty seven and it is the syrian over president from the signing of the decree. is a spin for the israeli election and it's a destabilizing. security situation in the golan heights and i think the. we will see a very soon some protests of the we already saw a few days ago but i'm sure that you did come you days will see protests of the people who live in the villages in the golan heights against this saying this recognition of the golan heights plusnet me on his visit to the us is it all exactly this decree is contradictory with the u.s. with the with the u.n. resolution in the security council resolutions and. i'm sure the ten year old knows

that he's aware of that and this is only spin for two three weeks until it israeli election and then everybody will. forget about this decree which is not doesn't have any importance because you cannot implement it on the ground. my pompei i was talking about recognizing the real reality on the ground let's have a listen to what is at the site. surprised i remember through some. well in each case we're simply recognizing facts on the ground and the reality and doing the right thing we hope those nations will join us to understand how important right it is. and we are continuing our conversations with our countries with each of them about this issue about our decision and why we

believe what he means by facts on the ground but my question is how does the u.s. recognize the golan heights being israeli in the same time say crime is not russian how do they distinguish between the. i think there's a difference between in recognizing or is jerusalem as the capital of israel in between and recognizing the. golan heights and is part of. a completely different situation and the eve really. wants peace with its neighbors and then eventually israel will have to negotiate with the syrian regime maybe not in the coming years but later on if the if the reason a peace initiative in the year year ended the it's almost sure that without true drawing from the golan heights there will be no peace with syria so they told you. it is meaningless because the all the way to peace is will have to withdraw from

the golan heights like it withdrew from sinai in. peace treaty with egypt. well guess is our middle east expert in the bed that men are many thanks. thank you . on to other news now u.s. republicans and democrats have been trading blows over whether to release the full version of the report which found that there was no collusion between donald trump and russia the republican senate has blocked a motion backed by democrats to have every single word published in the meantime donald trump himself has hinted there would be payback for those who spread allegations of collusion with russia allegations that were exposed as falls by that two year probe there are a lot of people out there that have done some very very evil things very clear things i would say treasonous things against our country those people. will certainly be looked at and i've been looking at them for a long time and i'm saying why haven't they been looked at they lied to congress

many of them you know who they are we can never will so far only a summary of robert miller's report into collusion has been published democrats and parts of the media are now demanding to see the entire thing in the hope it seems is still finding the president somehow cobol killable been explains. for two showed over five hundred thirty thousand articles on trump russia collusion allegations or the mole or probe have gone online since the probe was launched in two thousand and seventeen but now according to the report from special counsel robert muller it was all for nothing no collusion took place so why did the us media run so long with something that turned out to be a total red herring well some voices blame trump for it they say that it's his fault the media went with the story for so long why did donald trump and why did his administration and why did everybody close to him lie about contacts that they had with russia throughout the course of the campaign why did he say that he

believes putin over the intelligence community why did he talk about leaving nato things that put our national security at jeopardy why doesn't he release his tax returns some say that it's just a cover up that william barr the u.s. attorney general is protecting donald trump the attorney general barr who addition for his role with an open memorandum suggesting that it was almost impossible for any president to commit obstruction of justice and seize the head of the executive branch made a decision about that evidence in under forty eight hours given ms the bars public record of bias against the special counsel's inquiry he's not a new true observer and is not in a position to make objective determinations about the report now some voices are saying that two years twenty five million dollars and three thousand subpoenas just aren't enough they say that if you keep looking you can find collusion because it's there because we say so trust in his prosecutorial judgment but that doesn't mean

of course that there isn't compelling and incriminating evidence that should be shared with the american people this president has a way of trying to get into people's heads and indoctrinate them he's been saying no collusion no collusion no collusion he does this all the time this is not the. if anything they might think that the media was to blame after all they kept this story in the headlines for so long examining every unproven rumor however certain voices are saying that they did nothing wrong and should be praised for their work i think we've done the media the press has done one of the great reporting jobs in the history especially of covering a presidency by the most news organizations some media outlets did so well they were honored with a polyp the prize for. relentlessly reported coverage in the public interest that dramatically further the nation's understanding of russian interference in the twenty sixteen presidential election and its connections to the trump campaign the

president elect's transition team and his eventual administration troubles told the media that apologizing can be a great thing when you're simply wrong whether or not they'll hear it is advice remains to be seen nobody wants to hear this but news that special prosecutor robert miller is headed home without issuing new charges is a death blow for the reputation of the american news media nothing trump is accused of from now on by the press would be believed by huge chunks of the population. the biggest backward step since the internet began and one of the darkest hours stands out critics including whistleblower edward snowden and world wide web found the tim berners lee have been describing a new european law on internet copyright the rules forced tech firms to moderate content before it's published critics have been warning that only the biggest companies like facebook could actually pay for such huge moderation operations

forcing they say all but the largest tech firms out of business tech giants will also have to pay for media content though some warn that they will simply stop posting media content altogether however each e.u. member still has to approve the legislation the moves the mass protests have been held there's also been a huge backlash are now. i'm. returns of soup and censorship on the grander scale biggest backward step since the internet began this is one of the darkest hours in the history a few years time we'll never forget the law based on the m.p.'s that submitted to them save your internet i'm in complete disbelief you tell me that full of million signatures and the protest didn't even make an impact so what happens now i'm livid . but the use copyright wrapper to insist that everything's fine. the adopted text contains numerous provisions that will guarantee the internet remains a space for free expression we listened to the concerns raised the mean the just

bring this forward. french president or value micron is hosting his chinese counterpart in paris it's the last leg of she chippings three nation european tour which is in him stopping off in italy a monaco a monday france and china signed fifteen multi billion euro deals beijing will buy three hundred airbus planes for some thirty billion euro china and also lift its embargo on french poultry exports impose following an outbreak of bird flu in france. has more from paris. china's president has been touring europe this past week his official visit to france has just ended and it seems it went better than many expected. signed contracts worth billions of euros including a thirty billion euro air bus deal alone and right after the negotiations the french president i'm annoyed mccaughan called for a strong partnership both pre-schooler cooperation is more beneficial than

confrontation and we have more to gain from being open and closed the partnership between the e.u. and china must serve as an example of how to achieve tongil results another focus is the need to strengthen dog you know it's a shared vision of fusion which will not sort of the words of the french president contradict rather noticeably what he said before when he called on his the european allies to stick to a more conciliatory approach towards china he even called it a systemic rival and warrant over china's growing influence in europe and we had a very important discussion about china and i welcome this european awakening since the beginning of my monday a call for genuine awareness of the defense of european sovereignty don't do time of european naive if he has ended. we've put ourselves in a situation where chinese investment has taken of a strategic assets and infrastructure i think that was

a mistake china's president to france from and city has another weather a successful visit as silly agreed to become the first g. seven nation to sign up to china's wrote and belt initiative which is a global infrastructure project it's a nice participation in that particular project provoked a lot of controversy among its western allies in the specially its partner on the other side of the atlantic the u.s. so while european countries were rather skeptical before the visit now it seems they've turned their opinions around towards china. in an unprecedented move british m.p.'s have voted to seize control of the parliamentary agenda in a bid to takeover briggs's negotiations from theresa may this comes as a new blow to the embattled u.k. prime minister he's facing growing calls to step down three ministers have resigned in the wake of the vote adding to the long list of departures from the cabinet. i

would like to congratulate the house for taking control of the government's approach has been an abject failure and this house must now find a solution this house says he didn't thank you we forwards when the government has us field to provide leadership. for you so just now this was a constitutional division i think he may have just rather run the risk of me with the fact is in fact it is a constitutional river who should the house come to. this government has failed this house must and i believe will succeed i in the tussle for control of the government was ultimately defeated by n.p.c. in westminster who will now have a greater say over the next steps of bragg's it includes a vote on alternatives to to reason may's withdrawal agreement professor of european law francesco two suiter says that the prime minister's badly mishandled bags it. i think this is really the final or it should be the

final nail in the coffin i hate to use that term of the government's strategy it's failed argument including lots of conservatives have decided that the way the government has been dealing with this from the prime minister in particular has led nowhere but the immediate challenge that has to be confronted it's twofold one will we participate in european elections because there's no way we're going to be leaving by the twenty second of may god knows how the government's going to deal with what parliament asked us to do so that their status you and then of course the second issue is what is the government who is the prime minister. some of britain's biggest star galleries are rejected the vast donations coming from the us trust so because certain regarding just how the money was made and its connection to america's opioid epidemic party's political experience. picasso once

said that art cleanses the soul but for large and sometimes dubious corporation the tried and tested method of sponsoring art was a way of cleansing that image well not anymore though what does this the us opioid crisis which kills more than a hundred people per day over in the us have to do with london's national portrait gallery the answer the sackler family their immense wealth comes from the sale of oxycontin a widely used prescription painkiller that stronger than morphine last year u.s. senate report accused the sutcliffe family's purge you pharma company of acting as cheerleaders for the opioids and contributing to the opioid crisis in america but for years now the sackler family has also been a cheerleader and sponsor of the arts. it was until protests like these

became more common. were the in twenty seventeen british museums accepted a rest seven million pounds in donations from the sun go trough london's royal academy of arts has a clear wing and there's a sack close courtyard in the victoria and albert museum but the question of ethical funding is forcing an increasing number of arts institutions to reconsider where they get their money from it's now emerged that london's national portrait gallery has returned on day one million pound drawn from the sun trust and the tate gallery and the south london gallery have also said they won't be taking any more fine clothes money and then best sign the trust itself said it won't be making any more donations that's being seen widely as a face saving measure to avoid any more rejections

a number of art institutions have come under scrutiny for corporate sponsorships recently last month campaigners occupied the british museum in protest at its continued acceptance of funding from british petroleum the oil company alleged to have lobbied for the war in iraq sponsored an exhibition of treasures from modern day iraq in syria the tate museum ended its relationship with b.p. back in twenty six steam and last summer the netherlands van gogh museum stopped its relationship with dutch oil company shell both cases were presented as mutual decisions by the museums and oil companies but they also came after intense pressure from campaign is but when it comes to funding the arts some say there's no such thing as clean money if you have a mix of due diligence in the arts and you look very very carefully but the people who are principled. you should find something

a bit dodgy you know exactly what went on broncos made the initial possible for those visiting the museums or working outside them the issue of so-called art washing is a tough call this scrutiny over ethical donations couldn't come at a worse time for cash strapped british arts institutions which have had their funding slashed stand recent years but there are those that say that in order for the arts to prosper galleries simply can't afford to be picky. but that wrap things up for this news hour but with the thirty minutes see that.

thanks guys are saying that. they say money that the girl is. going to be easy this is a central plank support diagram is going to call them might say stop the. greetings . by now i'm sure that most of you have heard the news that russia gate is officially no more hashtag resistant savior robert mueller is own hands no less but they are not coalition fans because of team trump shenanigans with controversial foreign leaders seeking to be stabilized regions with murder journalist and protestors as recently as last year is what you seek then may i
