people. interested always in the water. was one of the richest companies certainly and now it's one of the poorest countries of the was what he said a company no country did a slip of the telly expose president real thoughts on venezuela the way of the evidence also this morning developing news story three fuel multis forces we here now take control of a turkish merchant ship high jugs by a group of rescued migrants. they are not castaways they are pirates. that online campaign demands a u.s. drug maker returned billions of dollars that allegedly overcharged for medicine.

good morning ten am thursday morning the twenty eighth of march life. kevin are waiting for this thirty minute they could have your company. crisis stricken starving and under a brutal rule venezuela has been described as many ways in the most recent days by western media but next as he goes down off rick's planes there's a new label being pinned on the south american country to buy president. you can take a man out of business but you can't take business out of the man apparently u.s. president donald trump is living proof of that he's been tailoring this image of corporate sharks for decades and is now taking the approach to politics the potential of venezuela. don't properly and with with democracy it would be incredible it was one of the richest companies certainly and now it's one of the poorest countries of the was a slip of the tongue for sure but could it be

a fraud and one well he seems to have appointed venezuela's new c.e.o. a long time ago i mean what else could one why do be in this i mean as an owner trump would want a man he can trust running this venture it has been an expensive one and the u.s. plans to invest more into it. the budget also would continue democracy assistance for venezuela and includes new flexibility to provide additional funds to support a democratic transition or respond to the crisis there including up to five hundred million dollars in transfer authority to support programs managed by the state department and usaid venezuela has proven to be an important asset for trump for sure but after all it's not the only one tells and golf courses are going to manage themselves so venezuela has to share trump attention it's only natural if the little things escape his gaze like the fact that some of the investment was

literally set ablaze by those for whom it was intended they don't take the girl or take a leaf sent hundreds of millions of dollars worth of aid to the border he would take the. ground that his people starve than take the ira gets going even from a political standpoint even from a dictator standpoint i don't think that's good it was why dose support is not more duros who said those trucks with aid on fire but perhaps just an honest mistake by an employee right as former duro he did lead a day in except not from the us but from russia and that is one of the obvious differences between trump's companies and sovereign states the latter can do business with whoever they please but in donald trump said it's all the same competitors must not take over. the get out.

the all options are out all just so you understand all options are off. another thing how a business is different you can bankrupt it and its workers can at least hope to get paid leave and find employment elsewhere a country that's a slightly different scale. trump is a businessman representing the capitalist class in the us and what they want to lay hold in see enormous resources as well trump has absolutely no interest in the lives of the average person as well or interested in business and money maximizing profit a course or pence or any u.s. official or any group of nato generals has absolutely no right to speak on any matter where guarding our sovereignty and every one of the actions they have taken

are a complete violation of international law and of the un charter. story maltese forces of taken control of a ship in the mediterranean which was earlier seized by a group of migrants to the rescue deciding to a port in malta is the news the migrants will be handed over to the authorities it seems for further investigation than a wednesday the turkish merchant vessel picked up over one hundred migrants however upon learning those going to be returned back to libya they seized control of the ship and set course for europe there's been comment from the italian interior minister materials soviets called the instant piracy nothing less. it is the first case the first act of piracy of delinquency on the high seas with immigrants asking for help who were rescued by this merchant ship flying a foreign flag six miles from tripoli they hijacked the freighter and saying no do not go south go north they're not castaways they are pirates. it's the least

coalition government to set a goal of curbing migration to the country meantime european union's announced it's going to suspend maritime patrols that have rescued thousands of refugees and asylum seekers instead it says it plans patrols and close coordination with libya which is the main starting point for refugees and migrants from across the sea from north africa to europe we spoke to london metropolitan university senior research fellow george suddenly thinks that the migration crisis actually is nato's fault. well i think it's the one problem the europeans are going to have is that you have this very powerful forces. within europe that are welcoming the migrants i'm sure that the initial response of the multi-source origins will be we are not letting anybody in. but in the now of all the human rights the amnesty international that george soros crowd will say my god this

is inhumane european civilization is coming to an end these are people fleeing from most horrific tortures and murder and rape you have to let them in and i think in those circumstances it's going to be very hard for the maltese and the talons to say no. an online campaign has been launched against us drug maker accused of inflating prices of a ninety eight hiv drug by thousands of dollars and it turns out the company doesn't even own the paint and for the treatment caleb maupin reports. all across the american political spectrum almost everyone seems to agree that prescription drug costs are too high we will never stop fighting for our children our seniors and those in need of prescription drugs and working families who cannot afford the escalation of cost the drug. is making an absolute fortune at the expense of american consumers but the big companies couldn't care less about the government's

opinion gilead sciences takes the prize among hated pharma giants its new medication for people who've been infected with hiv is selling for roughly sixteen hundred to two thousand dollars a month needless to say there has been outrage we're here today us to protest the gillie ads pricing their new combination therapies strike there's no valid reason for it to be priced it's purely greed and profit driven by their new h.i.v. drug provide abroad in a whopping three billion dollars last year but they deserve to be compensated for their creativity and innovation making a new product right well here's the thing it turns out that it was actually us taxpayer money that paid for developing the new drug the scientific research and the testing necessary it was all paid for by the us government however it's gilliard stockholders that get the profits no royalties of any kind are being paid into the us treasury exposure profile access in the united states to prevent a champion. basically there's

a lot of low income communities people of color trans women who are not being able to access this drug and a huge part of that is because the company that makes it good science is charge is sixteen hundred dollars for a drug that only costs six dollars now there is similar outrage when gilead started charging over one thousand dollars a pill for its hepatitis c. drug cartel for her. but. now there's another famous case of the chief executive turning. pharmaceuticals martin squarely jacking up the price of darrent pram an anti parasite medication five thousand percent from its initial cost of thirteen fifteen and when pressed in congress to justify his reasoning mr lee seemed to laugh in their faces i want to plead with you to use any remaining influence you have over your former company to press them to lower the price of these drugs you can

look away if you like but i wish you could see the faces of people no matter what ms ritz says who can get the drugs now justice was served but in another fashion the c.e.o. mr scrawly was convicted on two counts of securities fraud and sent to seven years in prison the price of darrent for him however has never lowered all of this seems to point to the fact that big pharma has got the u.s. public in a position of weakness for someone infected with hiv trivago it could be life or death needless to say people in such circumstances are pretty ripe for being out but this raises a bigger question how much freedom should influential corporations have especially when they are receiving so much government assistance in order to do their work caleb oppen r.t. new york. moscow time next this morning britain's bricks and conundrum the u.k. parliament still failing to find a clear leave the e.u. and peace had eight options on the table to choose from when the vote wednesday

night but none of the ideas going to clear majority again they included holding a second referendum maybe revoking article fifty or staying in the e.u. for two more years. try to remind ourselves what we've decided to do nothing. at all i think the public will look at on these proceedings in. amazement this. guy will be completely bemused by what has gone on this is a very serious moment for all of us and we have to reflect the first house of commons has tried to find a way through the cracks that crisis over the last few months and we have failed. the test of course a very great disappointment that the house has not chosen to find a majority for any proposition it does simplify what's now on offer which really is exit in the european union as we've just heard with

a deal or with no deal at all that is now what's on offer and we pressurize a lot of the m.p.'s if you want theresa may can bring her deal back to the house which will be seen now as hugely important to do because actually that's going to be the only option arthur and leave in the european union with harper but when tom cruise may says she's prepared to resign if it made her breaks a deal getting through according to downing street the concession came at a closed door meeting with conservative m.p. . i'm prepared to leave this job earlier than i intended in order to do what is right for our country and our party i ask everyone in this room to back the deal so we can complete our historic duty to deliver on the decision of the british people and leave the european union with a smooth and orderly brax the u.k.'s opposition to a recall but reacted to that segues proposal was about party management and not the

interests of british citizens being that a switch of government should be the people's decision but economist jones and nelson mccausland a former social development minister in northern ireland think the trees a maze proposal will not solve the problems with bricks it many bricks of tears will be encouraged by her annoyance when she is going what the position of i think for the day you pay and for the vast majority of unionists northern a simply this the deal that she house currently on the table. with you is on acceptable whether she stares or whether she goes the problem for them remains that the backstop is deeply deeply problematic the british approach to bring suit has been entirely governed by party politics this isn't a has to keep the conservative party together by proposing a kind of compromise arrangement that to some extent at least satisfy the hard line breaks it has and also the remain as unsolved abraxas within her own party.

well that's just the latest thirty what's been a turbulent understatement few weeks in westminster for military the view albrecht to check up on the boy because in case you missed it. yeah yeah loud and clear yeah well hugh we've been counting down here for ever no waiting for news of the imminent arrival of little baby brags that now little baby brags its huge eight was meant to be that twenty ninth of march but doctors insist on i think that maybe to do just that he said there's been a bit of excitement because we saw somebody very key related to little baby brags that go inside this building which is also vaguely related to a little baby brags that now we know the mother's been experiencing substantial difficulties high blood pressure severe morning sickness she hasn't been able to

keep anything down for months whatever she tries to get through it just keeps getting regurgitated now as you can imagine this is an extremely difficult situation for the mother she never wanted this to begin with then according to all reports the father is trying to disown baby bragg's it according to one source he was last seen in nice with this truck has. that we tarried know if it's going to be a hard or a soft delivery whew there's the chances of a normal elective emergency c. election which is a dangerous procedure and it carries a lot of risk for the was to outcome the baby could just pull out now some have called for the baby to stay where it is rather than risk that such as a look at the crowds out here hugh so much anticipation people want to know when

the baby brags it is going to be delivered and of course many are concerned about the risk of a still. though the dog side of america's presence in japan. and how the wife of one u.s. marines giving rape victims a voice. ukrainian presidential elections are just days away but the cause of eligible voters still don't know who to support with thirty nine candidates in the race is the choice too broad. to go straight to. private companies that have got a lot of p.c.

venture capital funding are ready to go public this year i saw the list they're all going out of forty fifty sixty seventy billion dollars valuation so the prediction here is that it will be the end of this cycle you're going to. like two thousand and one style crash. due to the fact that there's nothing to support the valuations of these companies and very quickly. again this morning what authorities in japan face in public but lashon the results of a referendum on the u.s. military bases in okinawa to american women we can report are helping victims of sexual assault by u.s. servicemen there adrian perry told us why she started the group. they're raising

better i wanted to create survivors unite and it's because when my in our family was going through we went through i was so lost i didn't know where to turn for help i didn't know who to trust i didn't know and you know what answer what questions to ask i didn't know what to search for i feel like the military justice system is it antiquated system and it has not caught up with the times today to be able to accommodate the cases that we're seeing and to adjudicate successful age adjudicate cases that we're seeing this is this is not and negative light that's being shown on our military and this is a positive that we we don't want that misbehavior happening the fulton my military price is located in a densely populated area and host nearly hoffa whole american troops stationed in japan locals a bit outraged by the behavior of u.s. troops in the past have been involved in numerous crimes over the as the u.s. and japan have been locked in debate over whether to relocate the base more than

twenty is many wanted off the island altogether. just. for. it's human nature in any institution in any culture and there's going to be bad apples and unfortunately there are bad apples in the united states military just like there are in any other military in the world and. if these crimes are committed against the foreign nationals in whatever country they are our military station and i want them to know

that they have a voice that these these survivors of abuse sexual abuse by our service members it occurs have a voice and if they have somewhere to go and they can pursue justice just because they were sexually abused by the united states military member doesn't mean that they have to stay silent if they don't want to you and i do understand that not everyone wants to pursue justice but at least they can know what their options are what their rights are and in a can if they decide to they can pursue justice and. to not be scared to do so. when you poll suggest the findings of special counsel on alleged trump russia collusion that have little effect on americans all this sunday the two year long investigation concluded there was no sign of a conspiracy between the american president of the kremlin or according to this poll and now almost half of those surveyed to some extent believe the trumpet his team colluded with russia during the twenty sixteen presidential campaign if it was

split if democrats in congress should continue digging into trouble including those alleged ties with russia or end it and finally an overwhelming majority it seems to say the findings of the miller report change the minds at all we spoke direct some people in the streets of new york. do you still think that trump colluded with russia. yeah yeah eva trader i don't trust their report i don't trust any of them because ultimately. it's a conspiracy. to make america races again they're all around trial but somehow trump is involved it just seems strange to me that people are drawn i can because he's a rich guy well what does the media have been saying about it for the past few years it's always been a clue to the seventy flew to get these everything loaded and therefore comes out he has acquitted everyone still believing that it still happened in the mainstream press as completely given up and its standards in reporting this story i mean the new york from the new york times to the washington post to c.n.n.

and especially m.s.n. b.c. one of the other news networks and they have just been all over at each other trying to beat each other with the latest rumor and scandal mongering on. including this specially the russian collusion thing so it's on the news every night russian collusion russian collusion and people are watching at four to six hours a day it's mind numbing it's the end of your work day you come home and you watch that with a beer and you know it just sinks into your skull it's propaganda. to recognize israeli sovereignty over the golan heights a scene the united states roundly condemned for going to mergence a u.n. security council meeting its a disputed area that straddles israel syria jordan and lebanon which israel annexed from sarah nine hundred sixty seven when washington's close allies now oppose this latest move. this decision is of critical critical strategic and security importance to the state of israel and the u.s.

believes it can contribute to stability the decision by the united states to recognize israeli suffering t. over the golan heights is in contravention of security council resolution four nine seven. sidesteps not only while the norms of international law but also the security council resolutions we are concerned that this unilateral decision not only complicates the prospect to find an end comprehensive settlement in the middle east by pleats to instability in the region who can walk my country's government considers this decision as a unilateral statement it has neither political nor legal authority to decide the destiny of another country's people and land this american move is dangerous and it represents the blind and unprecedented tendency of this administration to twist international policies and humiliate the un and its resolutions on the golan heights either it will always be either heard of sovereign territory we thank the

united states for the just the new story problem ation this there plague many others it has taken before shoulder their willingness of the united states to honor reality on the ground instead of recruiting regional really it's undermining responsibility it seems to be. pretty much universally being criticized there's really undermining our. international our you know and even that you won't surrender i'd be the statements of traditional allies like the u.k. it being very critical of the u.s. position on here is a significant. trend in the increasing isolation of the united states which it's getting closely with israel but it. seems to be little by little do or think. still is traditional european allies i'm kevin over here in moscow

that's the rap so far this thursday morning thanks so watching keep out see don't comb biocide for all those headlines as they happen throughout the day. breaks at countdown. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to. have to go right to the press to see what the four three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters about how. to. first sit.

with lawmakers manufacture consent instead of public wealth. when the ruling class isn't protect themselves. when the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. we can all middle of the room signals. to the real news. i've been saying the numbers mean something they've matter us with over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime families each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long for the old rich eight point six percent world market both for rich. sent someone one hundred i want to trade for second per

second and this one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars industrial park but don't let the numbers hold. the only number you need to remember one one business you know more than this one and only boom but. welcome to the alex salmond show from a blustery bell fussed i didn't particular to the storm of the state governments of non-i and the stake in place for the last ninety years and the empress of

parliamentary buildings behind me. the first prime minister nonviolence once declared a protestant parliament for a protestant state but out of changes in the social and economic growth of this province which is going to bring about a very different outcome. and welcome to terra gardens outside the palace of westminster where the high socom is dramatically voted this week to seize control of the brics a process from the hapless prime minister there had been some indications of a possible shift towards them is nigh twice defeated backstop deal one of the two top to the top of the big steer you to pinafore group have raised the white flag but that is still no surrender from the hard men and women of all stars this is how the democratic unionist and twenty but bench but the prime minister's deal to the sword in the chamber statement will represent the most shameful surrender by a british leader since singapore nine hundred forty two. where are you going to

stop using northern ireland excuse and do you realize that the importance of this agreement to delivering brecht's that. the unit is now the kingdom is such that we will not be used in any skirt thinks to push this through here what i have genuinely been trying to achieve through everything that i have been doing is enjoying that we respect the wishes of the people of northern ireland and we respect northern ireland's position within the united kingdom the situation in relation to the european union's proposal is being very clear about european union rules and the necessity of those e.u. rules being planned however if the prime minister's deal looks like a dead duck while the m.p.'s do any better i'm joined by senior s.n.p. m.p. and a spender macneil welcome to the show i thank you now will this problem and she process bring any order at old to the current chaos well i think we're made chaos of

perhaps without the beginning of the chaos something this is something that should happen about two two and a half years ago the prime minister made a deal and no idea who would be reacted what the actual be in parliament parliament said no this is some form of a sticking plaster to try and get the good ship u.k. away from the iceberg. i want to see one preferred feature one of the best ways to refocus people didn't vote to beat themselves to it and we can see that by what was written inside of a bus the thought of getting three hundred fifty million pounds extra week people were misled badly by the whole breaks it argument in the beginning i think revoke it forget it and go back to what we were doing and give me a piece of effectively taken off and become the government enjoying your new role well absolutely i mean i think i should have happened a long time ago clearly would you do a little bit better than the prime minister over let's one and we had a prime minister koizumi. but the reality is m.p.'s had to do this.
