it was one of the richest companies certainly and now it's one of the poorest coming countries of the world company not country did a slip of the tongue exposed president the ship hijacked by migrants who were pulled from the mediterranean arrives in malta more than one hundred people are on board including children. and surely they are not castaways they are pirates you know the muslims and an online campaign demands a u.s. drugmaker return billions of dollars it allegedly overcharged for hiv medication. from moscow on calling new center in the russian capital with your news this hour

first for you with venezuela entering another phase of political crisis the country's government has barred opposition leader from holding public office for fifteen years or so himself has rejected the decision it comes after announced a new plan to oust president dura and called for a fresh wave of protests the us president donald trump meanwhile has reasserted america's opposition to the current government in caracas while accidentally rebranding venezuela as eagleton arm of explained. 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 if done properly and with with democracy would be incredible there was one of the richest companies certainly and now it's one of the poorest gump. because 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 all 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 ones 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. ground there was 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 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. the all options are out all just so you understand all options are off another thing how a business. it's 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. truck has absolutely no interest in the lives of the average person. interested in. money. a course truck 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 and russia in turn has lashed out at trump following his calls for its troops to leave caracas saying

the russian military advisers will remain there for as long as the venezuelan government needs them. the turkish ship seized by migrants in the mediterranean sea has arrived to malta the vessel is now under the control of the maltese armed forces while the one hundred migrants were on board including around forty miners refugees were picked up on wednesday by the merchant vessel at sea bird when they learned they were being returned to libya they hijacked the ship and set course for the minister to tell you're so vain a has declared the incident an act of piracy. it is the first case the first act of piracy of delinquency on the high seas with immigrants asking for help was that 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 at least coalition government to set a goal of curbing migration into the country while the european union's announced it will suspend my. time for told that have rescued thousands of refugees and

asylum seekers instead 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 political analyst nicola berkovic told me last hour that he thinks the european union's migrant policy is still not effective enough. and of course they're looking for better conditions they think that they have been brought to believe that by rowing in europe we will have free social security they will have nice houses they will have a very conditions than those they are having today so that is why some of them are ready to risk their lives the lives of their loved ones and their families and some of them are paying a lot of money to get over here so they are desperate i think this shows that the european union has no policy the european union policy towards these massive migration flows is not working it's not working it's because that is the catastrophe for the migrants it's a catastrophe for the villages and towns which are agreeing these migrants because

they have no means to treat them because the european union doesn't know about the state and this not know how to tackle this fundamental issue which is one of the main concerns of many european peoples today. online campaigns being launched against the u.s. drugs make a list of inflating prices of an anti hiv drug by thousands of dollars and it turns out the company doesn't even own the patent for the treatment of more pain as the story. all across the american political spectrum almost everyone seems to agree that prescription drug costs are too high we will never stop flaming for our children our seniors and those in need of prescription drugs and working families who cannot afford the escalation of class the drug lobby is making but the big companies couldn't care less about the government's opinion gilliatt 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 that high 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 guilty of 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 for profit in the united states 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 might help her. but. now there's another famous case of the chief executive 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 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. 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 truvada 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 r.t. new york. british m.p.'s will be back in the commons chamber on friday to vote on the so-called withdrawal agreement to reason that deal and specifically addresses key issues such as the irish border and if it's approved the u.k. would extend breakfast until the twenty second of may this comes after a decision clouded another vote on wednesday options to try and get the brakes in process on the straight and narrow they'll turn it into range from

a second referendum to revoking article fifty and staying in the you for two more years. president 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 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. it is a 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 with no deal at all that is now what's on offer and if we

pressurize a lot of the m.p.'s if point 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 and. then leave in the european union with a hopper but the price for to raise a may is to cut short her premiership she's announced her intention to step down as prime minister but only after she's delivered breaks it according to downing street the p.m.'s concession came during a closed door meeting with fellow conservative party 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 compete our historic duty to deliver on the decision of the british people and leave the european union with a smooth and orderly bright set you guys opposition leader jeremy corbyn was quick to react to the news saying may's proposal was about party management not in the

best interest of british citizens he also added that a switch of government should be left to the public to decide we asked people in london what they think about the prospect of to resume a stepping down. we're going to give notice which monkeys in charge of the six frankly i don't think. parliament has a sense of yourself whether it's actually sitting in the p.m.'s chair is going to be dealing with. it becomes that we really. don't want to say. she's going to resign if she can get a meaningful vote through i don't mean the meaningful that's going to go through so what she did is she going to resign or was she not no one knows. but i going that the director of the risk analysis group and you know why i think the british public at large is unsure of where to go from here. what happens after tomorrow is what really counts are we going to have a second appear second chance to vote on this is article fifty going to be revoked

at least temporarily until people can i think that's the key question that's what hopefully will be answered in the next weeks to come people have a lot of different mixed emotions about what turned into what we do see i think is confusion in what people want to see for example the petition that was online that calls for article fifty to be revoked but at the same time we had as it was reported almost a million man march for a second break through a referendum so i think the people themselves if you can if they do if we do not want to happen they need to come with one aligned message instead of two separate things we truly want the same thing in. a new poll suggests the findings of u.s. special counsel robert miller on supposed russia collusion has 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 according to the poll almost half of those surveyed to some extent believe the trump or colluded with russia during the twenty sixteen presidential campaign opinion was split if

democrats in congress should continue digging into trump including those alleged ties with russia or end it and finally an overwhelming majority say the findings of the report hasn't changed their mind at all we spoke to you spoke directly to some people on the streets of new york. do you still think that trump colluded with russia. 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 is involved it just seems strange to me people don't like him because he's a beach guy well what is the media been saying about it for the past few years it's always been looted he's definitely clued into these anything looted therefore it comes out he has included everyone still believing that so happened you know obviously there's if you watch innocent b.c. they're not going on air and saying god we got a wrong we're really sorry we're going to go back and fix that you know who you

trust us or we're going to go under the hood and get this right they're actually just basically doubling down on this and moving on to a new. idea which is that the thing that's important is obstruction and not collusion the real beginning of the problem was the beginning of the trump campaign what every single pundit in the universe dismissed as laughable the idea that dollar could win the nomination what was what's interesting about that is that we were journalists total left audiences totally unprepared for the possibility that trump could when they constantly told us that it would a ship in the conspiratorial one fit better than what they'd been told. sometimes decision to recognize israeli sovereignty over the golan heights to get a wave of condemnation at the un security council on wednesday the territory which sits between israel syria jordan and lebanon was seized by israel in one thousand nine hundred seven and then formally annexed in one thousand nine hundred one

morning to close allies voiced a staunch opposition to the us president's move saying it sets a dangerous precedent. 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 council resolution four nine seven. sidesteps not only one of the norms of international law but also the security council resolutions we are concerned that this unilateral decision not only complicates the prospect of finding a comprehensive settlement in the middle east by pleats to instability in the region and trumpeted in this tradition 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 the 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 the golan heights either it will always be either sovereign territory we thank the united states for just the new story proclamation this there plague many others it has taken before all showed their willingness of the united states to honor reality on the ground there's a couple of dangers one that does a really dangerous precedent that anyone any country can take another land by force but it's also i can trump look very isolationist he's on his own here really this is israel in one or two other countries in the us of course but all the nonaligned movement countries have rejected this this move as has the e.u.

for instance as well as to remove the the alleged an exciting even though there was a referendum in crimea the alleged time excitement and the accusations against russia. years ago after the coup in kiev but this being the referendum the people of the golan the thousands of people but only druze i think syrian druze have had no say on this matter at all so they're still living in our occupied territory which is now being recognized by the american 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 has more than twenty five thousand troops in the prefecture hundreds of personnel have been convicted of serious crimes there in recent decades including rape we spoke to one of the women working with victims. there is a man i wanted to create survivors units because i know our feeling is 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 did you 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. in has not caught up with the times today to be able to accommodate the cases that we're seeing in to adjudicate successfully adjudicate cases that we're seeing but this is this is not a negative light it's been shown on our military and this is a positive that we we don't want this behavior happening americans for time the military bases located in a densely populated area the host around hof of all american troops stationed in japan resentment towards u.s. troops is steadily growing in recent years in paul two to the allegations of widespread criminality although the u.s. and japan are in the process of relocating the base to a quite a part of the island many of its inhabitants want to go altogether.

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 that they have a boys 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 a 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 then they can if they decide to they can pursue justice and. to not be scared to do so. feds in syria are appealing for an international tribunal to prosecute islamic state members of the syrian democratic forces which is largely made up of kurdish fighters the club the terror groups final enclave have fallen on saturday or five thousand militants are reportedly being held in kurdish detention centers all their relatives have been sent to a separate refugee camp and many of the suspected fighters and their families are of foreign origin we spoke to a journalist who has visited syria a number of times during the conflict about the crossroads facing the kurdish minority. there's a lot and all the syrian government has regained all its territories except in a loop is 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 the kurds want the creation of kurdistan but it hasn't been a good start to climb led a series of offensives which weaken the kurds and gave him control of the region in syria there is a kurdish controlled area ridge of are ruled by the syrian democratic forces but this is just a label in reality it is under the y.p. g a branch of the p.k. k. to give themselves a better image they associate with christian and arabic militias who fought. against islamic states and created the syrian democratic forces but in reality everything is controlled by the y p g y 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 the syria would like to have control over some economic areas so i believe there will be a negotiated solution like the question is how much of an insult to me the syrian

government will be ready to give to the northern part of syria just over thirty five minutes from now after the kaiser report. breaks it killed joan. seems to do crack when i was a low kid my dad he was like a bust at the sonar guy like what i needed when i was a baby boy i had a bad childhood. there's always been single mothers in african-american community service and slavery. i think it's more in chinese teenagers having kids then you

faithfully implement from the inside venezuela things look different we're going to announce sanctions against petroleum to venezuela so sudan famously have a son of the moment who's moved out of some fast political battle to stay on the moon yet the puppy from the moment the focus of the hose story is a new mix of cold in henry kissinger to. tell him that it will not be tolerated in america. terms of economic and social system could take hold and therefore the policy would be to make. the chilean economy scream so once an economy of venezuela.
