the life from moscow of daniel hawkins thanks for joining us this hour. with venezuela continuing to grapple with a dire economic crisis and intermittent power outages adding to its woes the country's opposition leader is calling for a fresh wave of protests this comes after the u.s. president on wednesday again stressed his opposition to the moderate government and even accidentally rebranded venezuela hugo start off as more. you can take a man out of business but you can take the 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 would be incredible . as one of the richest companies certainly and now it's one of the poorest gulf

countries that there 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 y. do 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 to gain we've sent hundreds of millions of dollars worth of aid to the border who will take the. his people starve than take the ira gets going even from a political standpoint even from a dictator standpoint of the scale it was why dose support is not more duros who set those trucks with aid on fire but perhaps just an honest mistake by an employee right as former duro he did lead aid 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 russia to get out.

i'll say see 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 business representing the capitalist class in the us and what they want to lay hold in see an enormous. trump has absolutely no interest in why the average person. interested in. money. a 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 a complete violation of international law and of the un charter. a turkish ship allegedly seized by migrants in the mediterranean has now arrived in malta local security forces earlier boarded the small time car and guarded it port near the capital letter more than one hundred migrants on board including twelve children other fiji's were picked up on wednesday by the merchant vessel at sea but when they learned they were being returned to libya they hijacked the ship and set course for europe four people have reportedly been arrested italian interior minister mottos salvini called the incident piracy. believe. it is the first case the first act of piracy of delinquency on the high seas with immigrants asking for help but 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 italy's coalition government set a goal of curbing migration into the country while the european union has announced it will suspend maritime patrols that of rescue thousands of refugees and asylum seekers instead it plans their patrols and close coordination with libya which is the main starting point for refugees and migrants trying to cross the sea from author africa to europe we spoke to london metropolitan university senior research fellow george somewhere who thinks that the migration crisis is nato's fault. well i think it's the the problem the europeans are going to have is that you have this very powerful forces. within your. welcoming the migrants i'm sure of that the initial response of the maltese all storage is will be we are not letting anybody in. but you know.

the human rights the amnesty international the george soros crowd will say by god this is inhumane european civilization is coming to an end these are people fleeing from most horrific tortures and other 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 tally ends to say no. and online campaign has been launched against the u.s. drug maker accused of inflating prices of an hiv drug by thousands of dollars it sounds out the company doesn't even own the patent for the treatments more pain has 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 lobby 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 ca to protest the guilty ads pricing their new combination therapies strike though there is no valid reason for it to be priced it's purely greed and profit driven by their new h.i.v. drug provide up. wrought 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 u.s. 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 bears

a huge problem with access to expose your profile access for profit in the united states to prevent h.p.v. infection 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 our time. but. now there's another famous case of the chief executive of turning pharmaceuticals martin squarely jacking up the price of darrent prim and anti parasite medication five thousand percent from its initial cost of thirteen fifteen and when pressed in congress to justify his reasoning mr scraggly seemed to laugh in their faces i want to plead with you to use any remaining influence you have

over your former company to pressure 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 says. who can get the drugs now justice was served but in another fashion the c.e.o. mr lee 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. british m.p.'s will return to westminster on friday to debate a motion relating to brics it rumors are circulating online to reason may's divorce could be put to the test for a third time this comes after a decision clouded another vote on wednesday eight options to try to get the bricks of process on the straight and narrow it wanted to seem to get a second or a friend revoking article fifty and even staying in the e.u. for two more years. present try to remind ourselves what we've decided to do nothing was i think the public will look at on these proceedings in. amazement it's. my will be completely bemused by what 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 threats that crisis over the last few months and we have feel.

the tears 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 a big city in the european union as we've just heard with a deal or we've no good at all that is now what's on offer and if 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 seen 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 this came as the reason why and now it's to her intention to step down as prime minister but only after she's delivered brick sets now according to downing street the p.m.'s concession kings' in a 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 bracks set the u.k.'s opposition leader jeremy corbyn was quick to react to the news saying may's proposal was party management and not in the best interests of british citizens but also added that a switch of government should be left to the public to decide. we spoke to people in london what they think about the prospect of the reason may stepping up going to give matters which monkey see george frankly i don't think i see it for yourself whether it's actually sitting in the p.m.'s chair is going to be dealing with hopefully. if. we really. want to. see a prime minister. she's going to resign if she can get a meaningful vote through i don't mean it's all that's going to go through so what

she did is she going to resign or was she not no one knows. economist johnson nelson mccausland a former social development minister in northern ireland think that the reason may's proposed resignation will not solve the brics crisis many bricks of tears will be encouraged by her announcement that she is going but the position 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. for you is only acceptable whether she still is or whether she goes the problem for them remains that the bike stop is deeply deeply problematic the british approach to bring suit has been entirely governed by party politics mrs ney has sought to keep the conservative party together by proposing a kind of compromise arrangement that to some extent at least satisfy the hard line

breaks the two years and also the remaining years and soft bricks answers within her own party this is just the latest in that what's been a pretty turbulent few weeks in western is that if you're fed up with the conventional bricks and narrative check up on the workers latest episode of in case you missed it for alternative look. yeah yeah loud and clear yeah well hugh we've been counting down here for ever same 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 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 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 truck has all. 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 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. to the dark side of america's presence in japan and how the one for you. us marine is giving the rape victims their voice we're back in just a few moments. in a world with big partners. and conspirators it's time. to dig deeper to hit the stories that made history media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the back 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. private companies that have got a lot of v.c. venture capital funding are ready to go public this year i saw the last they're all going out at 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. 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 crash. the program tomorrow and women have launched an initiative to help people on the japanese island of okinawa who've been sexually assaulted by u.s. military personnel washington's got over twenty five thousand troops in that area

hundreds of mis have been convicted of serious crimes there in recent decades including rape we spoke to one of the women working with the victims. they're raising that i wanted to create survivors' units because when my you know our feeling is 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 with this is this is not and negative light that's being shown on our military and that's a positive that we we don't want misbehavior happening america's first time a military bases located in a densely populated area that hosts any hauffe of all american troops stationed in

japan resentment towards u.s. troops aesthetically grown in recent years paul due to a series of wadi publicized breaks and kidnappings the u.s. and japan are in the process of relocating the base to a quiet spot of the island many of its inhabitants want to go on all together. just. for that 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 our military station and i want them to know to be able boyce that these these survivors of abuse sexual abuse by our service members it occurs to have a voice and that 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. decide to they can pursue justice and. cannot be scared to do so. a new poll suggests the findings of special counsel role of mood on alleged russia commissioners had little effect on americans on sunday the two

year long investigation concluded that there was no sign of a conspiracy between the american president and the kremlin now according to the poll most half of those surveyed to some extent believe that trump or his team did collude with russia during that presidential campaign opinion was split on the question of democrats continuing digging into trump collusion including those that had to ties with russia or in the investigation finally an overwhelming majority say the findings of the report haven't changed their minds at all we spoke directly to some people on the streets of new york do you still think that trump colluded with russia. year you know he's a traitor 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 isn't involved it just seems strange to me people are gone 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 looted he's definitely clued into these everything loaded and therefore it comes out he has excluded everyone still believing that so happened the mean stream press has completely given up. standards in reporting this story i mean the new york from the new york times to washington post to c.n.n. and especially in this in d.c. . the other news networks and they have just been all over each other trying to beat each other with the latest rumor and skinner wanting to ring 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. heard say in syria appealing for an international tribunal to prosecutors law mixtape members of the syrian democratic forces which is largely made up of kurdish

fighters the clare the terror groups final cut of it has fallen on saturday more than five thousand militants are reportedly being held in kurdish the tension sentence while their relatives have been sent to a separate refugee camp many of the suspected fighters and their families are of foreign origin we spoke to a journalist who's visited syria a number of times during the conflicts about the crossroads facing the kurdish minority. that you like a lot and all the syrian government has regained all its territories except in. a matter of months before the government takes back control of the province now the kurdish issue in northeast syria is also on the table because the kurds want the creation of kurdistan but it hasn't been a good start as you lead a series of offensives which weaken the kurds and gave him control of the region in syria there is a kurdish controlled area has. ruled by the syrian democratic forces but this is

just a label in reality it is under the white p.g. branch of the p.k. k. to give themselves a better image they associate with christian in arabic militias who fought against islamic states and created the syrian democratic forces but in reality everything is controlled by the why p.g. why p.g. has no support it is alone and incapable of resisting the syrian army so will there be a conflict between them i don't think so the north of syria would like to have control over some economic areas so i believe there will be a negotiated solution the question is how much of an ontology the syrian government will be ready to give to the northern part of syria there's the headlines this hour join us again and thirty minutes for the latest global news update.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic developing. and going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. i think the numbers mean something they've mad at us with over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime happened to. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be rich eight point six percent of the world market rose thirty percent some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and fifth when he rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one

billion dollars a all you industrial park but don't let the numbers over. the only number you need to remember one one two three four commit one and only boom. officer. joe had to get up off the ground yasser began to pay him down. not hurt them folks on the sounds of kind of fighting him soon i mean grown man like mislead especially the officer who. threw his or tried. to push the away from the officer. tired of his crew. they obviously did a kind of lunge for the weapon once missed and then when it happened on tree swung at the observations didn't hit him i never saw any contact me to do any kind of went back to where they were so the officers back here there try again fifteen feet apart at this point and that's when the officer pulled out his gun and he did it on

three. the tense situation in venezuela is still all over the news the problem in venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been frayed only implement inside venezuela things look different we're going to announce sanctions against petroleum to venezuela associate. in a school bus on up a moment to. get out of some political battle psionic move to keep. the moment the focus of the who story isn't new makes him cold in henry kissinger to tell him that it would not be tolerated in latin america. an alternative

economic and social system could take hold and therefore the policy would be to make. the chilean economy scream so want snowmaking the economy of venezuela screed. oh i am x. times or this is the kaiser report never forget to watch the kaiser for if you need a reminder just put one of these on your head walk around and you're like oh i am i doing this oh i got to watch the kaiser report you know it works trust me right stacy i might say i see your future in your future is watching kaiser report in fact the headline reads good fortunes the us psychic industry has grown fifty two percent since two thousand and five to reach two point two billion dollars in revenue last year thanks to wider acceptance of the supernatural report finds you

know i think that's a good metaphor analogy whatever for the u.s. economy whereby you know they all look for this fed speak of what the fed says and and what my future looks like oh i get to buy another two hundred fifty million dollars apartment in new york city thank you thank you for cutting rates this year well you know i've given a storable precedent for this after world war one the carnage was so bad and there was such a horrific murders and trenches of gas warfare and that we had a rise in america and around the world of spiritual ism so people were trying to make contact with their dead grella to they couldn't justify their means they couldn't see you know what the point of all this horrific murder and war was about and you have this incredible rise of spiritual ism and it's very well documented and houdini went after the spiritualists a very ancient story so this is the kind.
