2:03 pm
nations. at a church in brazil we spoke to families who had fled. the deprivation in venezuela. and i'll never forget when a father looked at me with his two young boys standing at his side and said how hard it was as a father to come home at the end of the day and say. we're not eating today. and as he said it is two little boys looked up and nodded. to the you could you in the commuter we have already seen in other regions of the chilling stories about the suffering of people in iraq to syria and libya from witnesses are based in the west on the what is after that the real suffering began in those countries and still hasn't stopped do you want the same in venezuela. now mike pence is remarks went on to invoke the second world war saying that the usa and the rest of the
2:04 pm
world failed to take action against dictatorship in germany and that resulted in the second world war now russia spoke following the united states and the russian ambassador and made the point that essentially the situation in venezuela can't simply be blamed on the government that interference by the united states and efforts by countries around the world to interfere in venezuela's affairs and create a crisis in the country have a lot to do with the current situation this is the russian ambassador offering. we would use it with one hand you are grabbing venezuela by the throat introducing new sanctions and restrictions that prevent the country from developing normally with the other hand you are picking the pockets of venezuela you want to shamelessly expropriating venezuelan assets in western banks now it's also important to note that when mike pence spoke at the beginning of the meeting he referenced the government of cuba he accused the government of cuba of propping up the venezuelan
2:05 pm
government of supporting it saying that it had exported strong arm tactics this is somewhat like sounds like pence said in reference to the cuban government. for decades cuba has tried to create client states across our region. while normal countries export goods cuba exports tyranny and strong arm tactics last week the united states took action to sanction ships transporting venezuelan oil to cuba. and soon a president trumps direction the united states will announce additional action to hold accountable. ford's malign influence now cuba's relationship with the bold varian government in venezuela has been longstanding cuba has sent a number of doctors to venezuela who have then been providing medical care in low income areas furthermore cuba's literacy volunteers were key in the early efforts of the bolivian government to wipe out illiteracy in the country now there are also
2:06 pm
remarks from mike pence criticizing iran and other countries that have a relationship with the bowl of air in the republic of venezuela now venezuela under the un rules had the right to address the body after the un member states had spoken the venezuelan government criticised forces around the world for recognizing a wand wedo the individual declared to be president by the united states the self-proclaimed president of venezuela who is not recognized by the majority of countries in the world i criticized the fact that this individual's being recognized pointing out that one grade zero in his his self-appointed government doesn't control a single street within venezuela itself so as the meeting concluded it was pretty clear that there are very strong differences among the international community when it comes to the situation in venezuela and who is responsible for it some forces simply blame the venezuelan government and are calling for its elected president maduro to step down however other forces look at the united states and other
2:07 pm
countries and look at their efforts to create a crisis in the country and undermine the elected government so there are clear differences all eyes were on the security council chamber as this meeting took place. thanks for bringing us up to speed on my kind of moment in new york. could be a long evening ahead in brussels to resume a has just made her case to extend the u.k.'s exodus from the e.u. to june the thirtieth she's now sitting out the rest of the summit discussion will be e.u. the other twenty seven leaders decide the fate of the date our europe correspondent peter all of her is across the all stakes bricks at summit in the belgian capital. well the one of the first leaders to arrive was the one that all the focus is on at the moment to resume a the british prime minister turned up she said that she was hoping that she could represent her country represent those voters that voted for brakes it but really what she did in a very short interview she walked down the red carpet was past the blame for the
2:08 pm
the failures really we've seen so far from herself and her government and on to the u.k. parliament i know many people beatrice straight to the summit is taking place. because the u.k. should be used by now and i greatly regret the fact the parliament is not being able to pass a deal that would enable us to be misused and also the way that i and the government continue to find a way forward all twenty seven e.u. leaders need to sign off on an extension now to resume a wants to see an extension to live thirtieth of june however a lot of other leaders want to see a far longer extension one of those leaders though has spoken out the big he's going to need in the europe yes of european leaders are going to need something in reply for that longer extension that france is a money well as the french president arrives in brussels though he was talking about about unity about saving the project and everything that went with that.
2:09 pm
we must remain united as i believe it's important for the viability of the european project that's what's at stake it's essential that nothing compromises that situation we have the european renascence to preserve and they don't want to come and hindered it's the time for decisions is now well if money were in mcallen is being tipped as the bad cop of the big major members of the e.u. twenty seven really the good cop perhaps could be german chancellor angela merkel to reason may with here in berlin and in paris in fact on tuesday for talks with both of them but before the german chancellor left berlin she did say this. although she was open to talks these breaks it's because ca sions these constant breaks that summit's they can't continue indefinitely i think the extension should be assured as possible it up to be long enough to create a certain calm so we don't have to meet every two weeks to deal with this same subject we are expecting an extension to be granted this evening i would say at the
2:10 pm
moment it's looking unlikely that it would be the reason may want to extension until the thirtieth of june nobody wants to be back in brussels for another emergency summit in a few weeks a few months time what we may well see put on the table in offered to the united kingdom is a one year perhaps even longer extension for them to well from what i've heard from serb diplomats is to hold a general election or even hold a second referendum i think i've said this before but it's going to be a big night when it comes to break that tonight in brussels and i'll be keeping an eye on for you all through the evening here on r.t. while theresa may ways to see if her pitches pass the test economics professor garet jones says the beyond the talks with brussels to reason may might have a breakthrough sit on that impasse if she meets the demands of the opposition labor party. could be damaging in the case of a no deal not only to the u.k. but also to many european countries on the mainland in the european union
2:11 pm
particularly those that do a lot of trade with the u.k. so all ireland france germany the netherlands denmark and so on and so there will be an extension maybe of a few months maybe of up to a year there are no discussions going on between the government and the labor opposition party in the cape and there may be something to get out of those they're discussing particularly issues surrounding the customs arrangement that would exist after a break so it is very much demanding a formal customs union that is some people within the government would be attracted to that but others such as liam fox the foreign trade secretary is arguing that it's really a free trade agreement that we're after with the ability to make outside independent trade deals with party countries so a lot depends on the nature of those discussions and how they pan out whether an agreement can be brought to bear within the time that the extension allows.
2:12 pm
israel's benjamin netanyahu has clinched victory in the country's general election and will now serve a fifth term as head of government the prime minister's already been congratulated by the us president and hailed the historic result. oh. this is a night of tremendous victory i was very moved that the nation of israel once again and trusted me for the fifth time already tonight i have started talks with the heads of the right wing parties our natural partners i intend to be the prime minister of all israeli citizens right or left jews and non jews alike all israeli citizens it's already been put in a coalition together for the last few weeks some of it behind the scenes some of it in front of the scenes he quoted a lot of controversy for reaching out to a very far right racist group at the same time however it could take at least a month if not longer for him to solidify his coalition it is important though to
2:13 pm
mention that there was a very strong showing from his main rival the former israeli defense forces chief benny gantz who for the first time has come forward with a political party the blue and white party now they are neck and neck with him in the polls but they are likely to form as major a coalition as netanyahu but what this does mean for the prime minister is that you have a more united opposition he won't perhaps be able to act so freely you also need to face the american president donald trump deal of the century there trump is likely to oss can call consolations and of course don't forget the corruption charges that netanyahu faces this is new territory for israel what will happen when in fact he is an indicted if he is indicted when those charges come forward that could take a long time but at the same time it will be a headache over the head of the prime minister the arab community here in israel which numbers around twenty percent of the population is internally divided and also at the same time there's a sense of despondency in terms of how i would israelis view the potential for
2:14 pm
elections to change they face when i travel to election polls yesterday particularly in arab neighborhoods they you having people who actually turning out and they say that they feel that they need to be some kind of change that there was a call by many arab leaders arab citizens to boycott the elections we discussed the election and what it could all mean for israel with political analyst day altering communications expert. one cannot be indifferent to the. international state of the whole deal rises that on the whole has opened with india with china. with africa. and these things which are hard. to ignore what netanyahu did is that he secured the right of the fundamentalists the rise of the fundamentalist right in israel the students of the kahana a group that is known for its fascist and racist views that was outlawed in israel
2:15 pm
and and considered a terrorist group in the united states these will be the allies of benjamin netanyahu in the upcoming government and they will be competing on how hardline their policies towards palestinians will be. a diplomatic dispute brewing over the construction of a memorial museum at a former nazi death camp in poland was rejected several requests from russia to take part in the project and this is and i'm going response from moscow here's our teens medina caution of. some a bore was a nazi run killing center and an intense secret very few survived to average talent and scream horrors.
2:16 pm
another unit arrived once they were already undressed they apparently understood where they were being taken naked and all in fear they ran away but we could they run everyone rushed to the barbed wire fences and there they were met with the fire of machine guns and rifles many people died from the bullets the rest were driven into the gas chambers. the fires were burning until late at night that's all flames illuminated the evening black sky with its terrifying lights the whole camp and the surrounding territory. like thunder the screams of people rode over the death camp six hundred people exhausted yearning for freedom rushed forward shouting here a in this single impulse the jews of russia are in poland the netherlands and from
2:17 pm
the czech it's a vacuum in germany united it was only then that the tower got realized that something was wrong in the camp and opened fire. and like there is nothing left of sabi bore the extermination camp was destroyed by the nazis after the uprising and trees planted to conceal evidence it ever existed but there is concern that key parts of his history are now being overlook the this is a matter for the whole of europe after all in the so people come here not only. russians dutch french they were also people from other countries and that's what unites this this pain the loss of people who were tortured there and died so that we never repeat the polish government started construction plans back in two thousand and fourteen for a new visitor center at the site of the former death camp russia says that was
2:18 pm
unfairly sidelines and the design of the museum especially as a soffit soldier was behind the here roig revolt and escape for sabi war the committee behind the project includes representatives from slovakia the netherlands poland and israel as the construction of the museum moved forward paul and opened the betting for those. wanted to take part in setting up the museum interior but again all three obligations sound by russian museums all private entities were not approved by war sell polish russian relations are complicated and certainly when it comes to world war two they were complicated so i think the poles rather take control themselves of the narrative they're afraid of the russian narrative and they also don't want to give russia too much credit for liberating poland you can use history as a weapon and the poles haven't weaponize in history as a as many people have been doing some may call it historical amnesia some like paul
2:19 pm
ince ministry of culture and national heritage say it's a logical decision the international steering committee made even now to mississippi continuing the cooperation between its current members who have already worked together for ten years in order to smoothly complete advance works on the new morial site the cultural standoff aside as high time average one as remembered for their suffering and bravery let me remind you of something when the seventieth anniversary of the liberation of the auschwitz death camp after its broken out death camp was observed in poland a lot of reporting was not invited and given the fact that it was the raided by the red army i mean this is quite quite outrageous i would say so what we're seeing now is a continuation of this policy which is trying to. keep the russians out of participating in any. effort to present the history of sobibor and the suffering of
2:20 pm
the of the inmates the horrible mass murders that took place there. with more and more candidates vying for a shot of the twenty twenty us presidential election democrats are looking for ways to oust the republicans from the white house and one of the controversial issues being put forward is a bill on reparations for african-americans for the enslavement of their ancestors but a recent poll suggests that only twenty one percent of voters would actually support the move if adopted it would intel an official acknowledgment of the legacy of american slavery and compensation payments to those still affected by discrimination as a result we have to recognize that everybody did not start out on an equal footing in this country and in particular black people have not. and so we have got to recognize that and do something about that and give folks a lift i believe it's time to start the national full blown conversation
2:21 pm
about reparations so that we can as a nation do what's right and begin to heal there are massive disparities that must be addressed so we're going to do everything we can to put resources into distressed communities and improve lives for those people who have been hurt from the legacy of slavery conservative commentator anthony bryan logan and attorney and author receptus and for their respective corners when i discussed it with them earlier. you could have identified the former slave master and a former slave right at the moment but we're now winds are in fifty years past a particular point in time who's going to pay people who did not have slaves nobody i left a day in twenty nineteen was a slave back then so what do we gain pay for who is going to pay we're right again pay it's no more than a campaign promise from democratic hopefuls trying to get some kind of attention
2:22 pm
now you're ok with the al lists and that's the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard they provide economic restitution to those people now if i came into your house mr a.b.l. and i sell a thousand dollars from you and then i died or if i saw a million dollars from you and then i'd die would you say oh well reason die so that money doesn't matter anymore no he would go talk to my children children are still living off the benefits of that million dollars just because somebody is grand days though it doesn't mean i'm responsible for it if somebody is granddad was so you know a killer and then they found out one hundred years later you go after the kids and say ok you get to go to jail now or you get to pay back some money because of what your grandfather d. makes no since you know who did it you should have been able to catch him why they were alive punish him why they were alive we want to focus on is the economic harm that was done to black people if we really break down with slavery was people were brought from across the water to work and that was free labor that what we have
2:23 pm
here in our racial years hundreds of years of systematic distant discrimination and shutting out of act economic access the black people and that has to be repaid if we're going to blame the government and us a you don't know everybody is a laugh right right and even know nobody is allowed right now it's only nineteen that was a laugh bathing and to and then a thing about it is who's going to pay it you're talking about a government the government is funded by the people that means me that means you will pay for it so how does it make any sense like i say it would have been more let me present. and there you are mostly slave women parisians would have been do which is at the end to slavery not right now it makes no sense to so argue me it displays no logic here america's never even study the effects of slavery on black people they never said down and said we know that as a government we think with this this experience but we don't even know how far that experience reaches because no one's ever study it how much do we owe black people
2:24 pm
no one's ever studied and why because the government has literally buried it had it paid out everybody else and turned it back on the black people in america who hate it anyway i would i do too long to just striving to be a dad and their hand and one example either out in tears. they paid money when whether in. years. that's irrelevant the point is the how about you are going to guess you didn't marry too many years to go to your spouse of thousand years i'm going to get married to it won't point do we say we're past lavery we're. now because the buck stops here hopefully my generation will stand up and say the buck stops here so we don't have to go on with this any longer. wiki leaks claims that it's co-founded union a song has been the subject of a u.s. led spying operation taken back to twenty twelve reporting from london has any society. well tensions have been escalating over the past few days off to wiki
