it was one of the richest companies certainly and now it's one of the poorest countries of the world. three. presidents from. the evidence. a ship. from the mediterranean arrives more than a hundred refugees or. children. they are not castaways pirates. and. the u.s. drug maker for billions of dollars charged.

thanks for joining us this hour. crisis stricken starving. rules venezuela's been described many ways in the western media recently but explains there's a new label being pinned on the south american country to 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 shark 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 gulf 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 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 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 literally set ablaze by those for whom it was intended they don't take the

withdrawal to gain if sent hundreds of millions of dollars worth of aid to the border he would take the. his people starve than take the american school even from a political standpoint even from a dictator standpoint of the scale 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 except not from the u.s. 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 certain rights all the same competitors must not take over here so that you know. you also will see all options are open all the just so you understand all options are off. another thing our 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 business representing the capitalist class in the us and what they want to lay hold in see an enormous resource. trump has absolutely no interest in the lives of the average person as well or interested in business money maximizing profit a course trant 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 complete violation of international law and of the un charter.

ships seized by migrants in the mediterranean sea has now arrived in malta the country's forces earlier boarded the small tanker and guarded it or near the capital letter more than one hundred migrants on board including twelve children of the refugees were picked up on wednesday by the turkish merchant vessel or when they learned they would be returned to libya they seized control of the ship and set course for europe four people have reportedly been arrested over the hijacking italian interior minister called the incident piracy. you believe. 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 saying no do not go south go north they're not castaways they are pirates liddy's coalition governments set

a goal of curbing migration into the country while the european union has announced that will suspend the maritime patrols that have rescued thousands of refugees and asylum seekers instead it plans air patrols and close coordination with libya which is the main starting point for a few g.'s and migrants trying to cross the sea from north africa to europe we spoke to london metropolitan university senior research fellow george somewhere who thinks that the migration crisis is nato's responsibility. well i think it's the real 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 maltese all storage is will be we are not letting anybody in. but now we're. 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 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 the u.s. drug maker accused of inflating prices of an hiv drug by thousands of dollars it turns out the company doesn't even own the patent for the treatment of warplanes quote the details. 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 buli ads pricing their new combination therapies strike there's no valid reason for it to be price 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 u.s. treasury essentially right and i bet is a huge problem with access to expose your profile access in the united states to

prevent a champion action 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 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. 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 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 misreads 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. reasons brix a conundrum the u.k. parliament is still fighting to find a clear path to leave the e.u.

and peace talks to choose from in a vote on wednesday but none of the idea is going to clear majority include holding a second referendum revoking article fifty and even staying in the you for a further two years. as try to remind ourselves what we've decided to do but. 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 is 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 all we've no deal at all that is now what's on offer and if we need to pressurize a lot of the m.p.'s if 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 other than leaving the european union with a hopper. i mean while to reason may says she's prepared to resign if that means her bricks that deal gets through parliament according to downing street the concession came in a closed doors 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 the u.k.'s opposition leader jeremy corbyn reacted

to that saying may's proposal was party management not in the interests of british citizens adding that a switch of government should be the people's decision. economists guarantee johns nelson mccausland a former social development minister in northern ireland think that the reason major proposal will not solve the problems with bricks that. many bricks or tears will be encouraged by her in the interim she is going but the position i think for the day you pay and for the vast majority of unionists northern is simply this the deal she house currently on the table. with you is only acceptable whether she stays or whether she goes the problem for them remains that the backstop is deeply deeply problematic the british approach to british it 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 a result of briggs and says her own party this is just the latest in what's been a very turbulent few weeks in westminster for alternative view on the brics saga do check out those latest episode of in case you missed them. yeah yeah loud and clear yeah well hugh we've been counting down here for ever waiting for news in the imminent arrival of little baby brags that now little baby brags it's g.-u. date was meant to be the twenty ninth of march but doctors insists i think that maybe to do just that he 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 has 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 brags that according to one source he was last seen in nice with this stroked. 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 out the baby could just pull out now some have called for the baby to stay where it is rather than risk about such

just look at the crowds out here whew so much anticipation people want to know when baby brags it is going to be delivered and of course many are concerned about the risk of a still. the dark side of america's presence in japan and how the one for us. maureen is giving the rape victim is that a voice thanks you that ought international. you know world of big partisan movies lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath and

shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. make this manufacture consent to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round certainly the one percent. nor middle of the room sick. welcome back to the program and waddle thirty's in japan face

a public backlash on the results referendum on us when it should bases on all canara to american women to helping victims of sexual assault by u.s. servicemen in the country and john perry told us why she started the group. they're raising better i wanted to create survivors unite and it's because when my you know our family was going through we went through our 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 that's the positive that we we don't want this behavior happening. before ten minutes your base is indicated in

a densely populated area and a host many hoff of all american troops stationed in japan locals have been outraged by the behavior of u.s. troops who've been involved in numerous crimes over the years ago the u.s. and japan have been locked and of bytes of a way to relocate the base for more than twenty years many wanted off the audience altogether. 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 foreign nationals in whatever country they are no our military station and. i want them to know that the employees that these these survivors of abuse sexual abuse by our service members if 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. if they decide to they can pursue justice and. not be scared to do so. new polls suggest the findings of special counsel wrote move on an edge to russia trump collusion has had little effect on americans on sunday the two

year long investigation concluded that there was no sign of any conspiracy between the american president and the kremlin according to the poll though almost half of those surveyed to some extent believe that trump boys team did clude with russia during the election campaign opinion was split if democrats and congress should continue digging into trump protruding those alleged ties with russia or end the investigation and finally an overwhelming majority say the findings of the report hadn't changed their minds at all and we spoke to some people on the streets of new york to get their opinion. do you still think that trump colluded with russia. year you know he's a traitor i don't trust their report my 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 isn't involved it just seems strange to me that people are dollar i can because he's a rich guy well what is the media been saying about it for the past two years it's

always been a clue to the stephanie clue to get these everything loaded and therefore it comes out he has included everyone still believing that so happened in the mainstream press is completely given the. standards in reporting this story i mean. new york from the new york times to 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 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 pollution russian pollution and people are watching it 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. the decision to recognize israeli sovereignty over the garden heights has seen the u.s. roundly condemned during an emergency un security council meeting it's

a disputed area that straddles israel syria jordan and lebanon which israel addict from syria in one hundred sixty seven even washington zone close allies opposed this latest move. this decision is of credit 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 council resolution four ninety seven thank you should you put aside steps not only the norms of international law but also the security council resolutions we are concerned that this unilateral decision not only complicates the prospect i find in at camp or hands of settlement in the middle east by pleats to instability in the region trumpeted ministration 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 dowd with a vast expanses 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 they go and hide either it will always be either heard of sovereign territory we thank the united states for the just then you started problem asian or this there plague many others either thinking before shoulder their willingness of the united states to honor reality on the ground were instead a recruiting regionals but really it's undermining that really seems to be. pretty much universally being criticized. undermining our. international our 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 it true in the increasing isolation that. the united states will achieve its getting cozy with israel but it. seems to be little by little or so yet still has traditional european allies. you're watching all the international join us again in thirty minutes for more global news updates. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the multiple different clubs on one hand it is logical to go home field where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective i'm used to surprising people and i saw one on t.v.

. i'm going to talk about football not for you or else you can think i was going to go. by the way ways and such like here. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic developments only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

on the phone lines. they cling to the meaning of the money for someone who is you know better than well some consistency that. was. just as. she was you me. just in. general. i know my last book you go to the british i've been roughed up. by me. if you. take.

the. ukrainian presidential elections 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 to broach the cops to come speak to. greetings and salutation as a famous french journalist and critic once wrote the more things change the more things remain the same well lock watchers here in the united states and surprisingly the republican press is having their usual privileged. castro feet over a homosexual black man i'm not going to jail while the other side of the political

fence the democrats press corps they're playing their favorite sunday afternoon pastime of moving the goalposts and all that russia has blown up in their faces and once again lost in all this right and left lunacy our issue. important issues like the war in yemen now entering its fifth year the atrocities in this tragic conflict between the hooty rebels and saudi arabian led coalition continue to mount this week the new york times reporting that the a hospital in yemen supported by save the children was hit tuesday by a deadly airstrike the charity officials blamed on the saudi led coalition and attack carried out on the war's or anniversary located about sixty miles from the city of saddam reports say that the coalition missile struck a gas station just yards away from the hospital entrance and at least seven people were killed including four children children this latest attack ads even more tragedy and loss to a war that the united nations has called the world's worst manmade humanitarian

disaster but what my friends what is led us to this point were a war entering into its fifth the year that has killed thousands displaced millions in and put an entire country on the brink of collapse still goes on without any real change in policy by the countries directly beating it. let's find out by watching the hawks. that that's. what they like that i got. them on the watch in the hawks i am tyrrel winter and on path allowance.
