day here in moscow this thursday the twenty eighth of march my name's kevin irwin hoping stay with me here at international for this thirty minute update starting this crisis stricken starving and under a brutal rule venezuela's been described many ways in the western media of late isn't it but next as he goes down off reports today there's a new label big penned on the south american country too by none other than president trump. 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
5:02 am
poorest countries of the world 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 b. 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 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 in golf courses are going to manage themselves so venezuela has to share trump's attention it's only natural if the little things escape his gaze like the fact that some of the investment was
5:03 am
literally set ablaze by those for whom it was intended they don't take the girl or take gade they've sent hundreds of millions of dollars worth of aid to the border he would take the aid they'd rather have his people starve than take the i don't think it's good 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 years to get out.
5:04 am
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. trump has absolutely no interest in the lives of the average person. interested in. money maximizing profits of course trump or pence 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
5:05 am
a complete violation of international law and of the un charter. a ship seized by my groups in the mediterranean is now rob the multi multi forces earlier boarded a small tanker and guided it to a port in the capital the letter more than one hundred migrants are on board including twelve children refugees were picked up on wednesday by the turkish merchant vessel however when they learned though going to be returned to libya they then seize control of that ship and said cause fear of the taliban terrorist immaterial selvi they call the instant piracy. in any event. it is the first case the first act of piracy of delinquency on the high seas with immigrants asking for help because that is who were rescued by this merchant ship flying a foreign flag six miles from tripoli with a hijacked the freighter saying no do not go south go north they're not castaways they are pirates italy's coalition government has set a goal of curbing migration into the country while the european union's now
5:06 am
announced it will suspend maritime patrols that have been rescuing thousands of refugees and asylum seekers in said it plans air patrols and close coordination with libya which is the main starting point for refugees and migrants trying to cross the sea from north africa to europe we spoke to london metropolitan university senior research fellow george suddenly you thinks that the migration crisis in fact is nato's fault. well i think it's the the problem that europeans are going to have is that you have this very powerful forces. within europe that welcoming the migrants i'm sure that the initial response of the multi-source origins will be we are not letting anybody in. but now with all the human rights the amnesty international the george soros crowd will say my god this is inhumane european civilization is coming to an end these are people
5:07 am
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. these and the talents to say no. and online campaign has been launched against the u.s. drug maker accused of inflating prices of an anti drug by thousands of dollars and it turns out the company doesn't even own the painting for the treatment kellam opens got the story. 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
5:08 am
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 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 u.s. treasury essentially right in the five bears a huge problem with access to expose her profile access in the united states to prevent a champion action basically there's
5:09 am
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. for her own body. now there's another famous case of the chief executive of turning pharmaceuticals martin squarely jacking up the price of a jar of 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 squarely seemed to laugh in their faces i want to plead with you to use any remaining influence you. over your former company to press them to lower the price
5:10 am
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 left. 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 daraa primero ever 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 get 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. this is the latest on britain's. the u.k. parliament is still fail to find a clear path to leave the e.u. is the news and peace had eight options to choose from and
5:11 am
a vote on wednesday but none of the ideas going to clear majority they included holding a second referendum revoking article fifty or maybe staying in the e.u. for two more years. as try to remind ourselves of 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's has gone on this is a very serious moment for all of us and we have to reflect that this 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 the exit in the european union as we've just heard with
5:12 am
a deal or with no do it at all that is now what's on offer and we pressurize a lot of the m.p.'s course if point theresa may can bring her deal back to the house which will be seated now as huge really important to do because actually that's going to be the only option and. then leave in european union with the hopper but there's other news to move meantime to samoa say she's prepared to resign now if it means her breaks a deal will get through according to downing street that concession came the closed door meeting with conservative m.p.'s. 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 breck's it surprise you because opposition leader gerry corbin reacted to saying may's proposal was about party brothers wanted not the interests
5:13 am
of british citizens in this which a government should be the people's decision. was just a bit tired of it all and you're a bit sick of what's been the latest turbulent understatement few weeks in westminster why not take an alternative view on the bricks and saga. his latest episode of in case you missed it. yeah yeah loud and clear yeah well we're here we've been counting down here for everyone waiting for news in be imminent arrival of little baby grace is it now little baby brags it's huge eight was meant to be that twenty ninth of march but doctors in the sun think that maybe due to some they said there's been a bit of excitement because we saw somebody very gay 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
5:14 am
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 the baby brags that according to one source he was last seen in nice with this trotters are. that we tell you if it's going to be. a hard or a soft delivery q there's the chances of a normal elective emergency c. election which is a dangerous procedure and it carries a lot of risk or there was out the baby could just fall out now some have called for the baby to stay where it is rather than risk that such as
5:15 am
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. forms of light hearted take a break so that. the dark side of america's presence in japan and how the wife of a u.s. marine is giving rape victims their voice. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have a crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic to follow only closely i'm going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.
5:16 am
seize private companies that have got a lot of v.c. venture capital funding are ready to go public this year i saw the less they're all going out of forty fifty sixty seventy billion dollars valuations so the prediction here is that it will be the end of this cycle you're going to have a two thousand and one style crash. due to the fact that there's nothing to support the valuations of these companies and very quickly will crash. at least thirty two people been killed nine critically injured after
5:17 am
a truck smashed into a crowd in western guatemala this next video coming up those can contain some distressing scenes of not seen already reports say that children among the casualties there the people gathered around it seems a victim of an earlier accident when a truck plowed into that crowd that had gathered what a terrible events the bodies strewn across the highway on the touristy dangerous stretch of road at least one hundred twenty five people have been killed on guatemala's road this year alone will tragic scenes there. while forces in japan face a public backlash and results a referendum on u.s. military bases nor can our two american women now helping victims of sexual assault by u.s. servicemen there adrian perry told us why she started the group. they're raising that 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
5:18 am
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 but this is this is not and negative light that's being shown on our military and that's the positive that we we don't want this behavior happening. the photon my military bases located in a densely populated there and how smelly hoffa whole american troops stationed in japan locals have been outraged by the behavior of u.s. troops in the pasta been involved in numerous crimes of the as the u.s. and japan have been logs and a long debate over where to relocate that space is going to more than twenty is money wanted off the island altogether.
5:19 am
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 lauren 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
5:20 am
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. if they decide to they can pursue justice and. not be scared to do so. and you polls suggest the findings of special counsel robert mueller on alleged trumped russia collusion has had little effect on americans because all this came out of the weekend on sunday the two year long investigation concluded there was no sign of a conspiracy between the american president of the kremlin but according to this poll or now almost half of those surveyed says some extent believe the trouble his team did collude with russia to the twenty sixteen presidential campaign nonetheless but it was split if democrats in congress should continue digging into trump including those alleged charges russia will simply just end it and finally
5:21 am
again nothing came out of this poll overwhelming majority say the findings of the miller report doesn't change the minds at all we spoke directs of people the streets of new york city. do you still think that trump colluded with russia. yeah yeah he's a traitor i don't trust their report my 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 that 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 floated is deafening clued into these everything loaded and therefore it comes out he has acquitted everyone still believing that it still happened in the mean stream 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 a miss in d.c. one of the other news networks and they have just been all over each other trying
5:22 am
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 is sinks into your skull it's propaganda. the decision to recognize it ready sovereignty of the golan heights a scene the united states roundly condemned during an emergency un security council meeting it is a disputed area of course the struggles israel syria jordan and lebanon which israel annexed from sarah nineteen sixty seven even 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 seventy over the golan heights is in contravention of security
5:23 am
council resolution four nine seven thank you showed you've been slow to side steps not only while the norms of international law but also the security council resolution is we are concerned that this unilateral decision not only complicates the prospect of fine and comprehensive settlement in the middle east by pleats to instability in the region and trumpet administration apparently wants to show some generosity towards israel we would suggest the americans not to lay their hands on what is not theirs the us itself is in doubt with a vast expanse of land so the americans could get the israelis north and south carolina for example why not south carolina is a great piece of land why not give israel a state or two if this administration really wants to have israel support their golan heights either it will always be either out of the sovereign territory we
5:24 am
thank the united states for just then you started problem ation this fair play to 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 that really seems to be. pretty much universally being criticized. undermining our. international are you know and even that you won't surrender be the statements of traditional allies like the u.k. it being very critical of the us position on here is that significant. is that the increasing isolation up. the united states would see it's getting cozy with israel but it. seems to be little by little good or think it still is traditional european allies coming up to me day twenty five here in moscow thanks
5:25 am

anymore you don't need. to get up off the ground yasser began to hate him down. and then freeze on the sounds of an mit grown man like wrestling essentially. trying. to push the away from the officer. they obviously did a kind of lunge for the web in one smith's and then when it happened on she swung at the observations didn't hit him i never saw any contact with. any kind went back to where they were so the answer is back here there try again fifteen feet apart at this point and that's when the officer saw his gun and even turned three.

hello and welcome to worlds apart the ukrainian presidential elections are just days away with water off eligible voters still undecided on them to support with thirty nine candidates in the race is the choice too broad or perhaps too constricted while to discuss that i'm now joined by a prominent ukrainian politician if there. is a bloodless term of the troop so good to see you thank you very much for this opportunity to talk to you good afternoon but dunham keeps cohen is not on the. the key of international sociology insitute published its poll which says it's over twenty four percent of ukrainians are still undecided who to vote for what is the
5:28 am
reason for the thoughts what do you think about that you know and it's really going on with my mind. this is something quite natural this is a natural reaction to all. repair ukraine no other kids i mean the president show. it's pretty. a lot of. fun means they're applied it never happened before it's. neither of you in a presidential race nor a parliamentary race where the mood of the movement but you could through one little bit mean i can understand why the people decide that they want to have objects or for information they get lost they do not know whom to vote for they do not know how to vote but it's when the election do you. refer to the right figure that's true. we have as that. many people undecided but it will continue to be the case right until the day of the election. problem in europe it also looks like
5:29 am
ukraine's western part. also undecided from the same because none of the candidates have been able to get the west's indorsement so far because the choice is too broad or there's any other reason for that why western partners of ukraine are so undecided because they were not like that five years ago there was no situation today is very different. talk about the second round of election only folk and it is have the chances to pass selenski. these four candidates. you mentioned the opinion polls so these that you're to sociology but this very morning one of the forums. social sciences published results of an opinion poll shows a. very
5:30 am
