7:04 pm
around the world to interfere in venezuela's affairs and create a crisis in the country had a lot to do with the current situation this is the russian ambassador who would give the new fools with one hand you are grabbing venezuela by the throat introducing new sanctions and destructions 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 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 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
7:05 pm
united states took action to sanction ships transporting venezuelan oil to cuba. and soon it president trumps direction the united states will announce additional action to hold cuba accountable for its malign influence cuba's relationship with the bowl of varian government in venezuela has been a longstanding cuba has set 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 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 one wedo the individual declared to be president by the united states the self-proclaimed president of venezuela 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 some forces simply
7:06 pm
blame the venezuelan government and are calling for its elected president the doura to step down however other forces look at the united states and other 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. lawyer and political activist kevin zeese a believes that u.s. economic sanctions against venezuela are one of the key drivers for the country's plight. this is a crisis brought by two things u.s. economic war these coercive economic threats and the drop in oil prices those are the two reasons why there's an economic challenges that is really the united states wants to profit from venezuela more oil john bolton the national security can director has said to well companies that you hope said us
7:07 pm
well companies can profit from the koch brothers were fine as well fineries. exxon wants to get back into it as well b.p. the u.k. wants to get back in there as well but venezuela because of the u.s. sanctions is reaching out to other countries to make the dr its oil trade oil is very important as well since the one nine hundred twenty s. it has been the top source of foreign currency so it's very important for them as well to continue its oil trade in order to help its economy recover from the attack by the united states. high stakes brags that someone has been held in brussels where twenty seven e.u. leaders have agreed to give britain until the end of october to approve a deal for leaving the bloc well let's cross live right now to peter all over who has been following the story for us it's been a long day for you peter but it was going to go into the night but the good news is they wrapped it up just a bit ago what do we know right now. well it's not wrapped up just yet what is
7:08 pm
confirmed right now though it's being called a firm by the european council president is that the twenty seven. nations the their leaders that was sat around a table having dinner trying to thrash out a solution have agreed to offer the united kingdom an extension of article fifty an extension of the break that deadline until the thirtieth of october of this year now there will be a stocktaking it's being called basically a how are we coming along review that will take place in june now that the deal is currently being put to to reason may the u.k. prime minister she was excluded from those talks they they talk about them too not to them when it comes to the exit talks so she's going to have that deal put to her very likely she will accept it she went into this meeting saying that she wanted an extension no further than june thirtieth well i guess she will be able to accept that stocktaking as a dead deadline of sorts what this does mean though is that the united kingdom will
7:09 pm
have to field candidates in the upcoming european parliamentary elections what we really can see this is though is a win for a minute on the french president what we understand from diplomatic sources is that he was the only one isolated in the room who was against a real long term extension to article fifty donal to skim self and many other leaders what we're wanting a universe somewhere even wanting longer than a year of an extension to this crowd went in saying he wanted a short extension and nothing more than not well what we've got is what you tend to get in these type of situations you get something in the middle so we've got a bit of a medium length extension there what happens here though is what the reason the date is being picked of the thirty first is that's the end of the current term of the current european commission it means that it's if the year if the united. elect
7:10 pm
me it does seem like there may be a lot of candidates put forward for m.e.p. that are there to basically say no to brussels very euro skeptic anti brussels candidates that they will be gone and won't have a say in the election of the next european commission and of course the replacement to the european commission are interesting enough just before i came to talk to you the u.k. electoral commission also announced that the thirty first of october is just enough time for them to be able to organize a second referendum should that ever appear on the cards what this ultimately slope is that allows the european union members to say we don't push members out and now the ball is back in the court of the united kingdom for the m.p.'s in westminster to try and work out how they're going to leave if they're going to leave well we're expecting to hear i would say very shortly it's always tempting fate it might be
7:11 pm
a bit longer than that. because the european commission president. the european council president about how. conferences gone we'd also expect that after that's done we'd hear from to reason made the u.k. prime minister about what she's going to be bringing back to the british parliament on thursday and what she's going to have to put to m.p.'s it's all still up in the air but that's the extension we have at the moment it's not the one year we were talking about a few hours ago it's also not the couple of months that to reason may entered into . today's summit wanting herself as usually with things in europe it's somewhere in the middle all right archies peter all over and bill berlin we know that as the story develops you'll be there for us to cover it certainly better than some of the most riveting shows that we have at this point in time with all the changes and how quickly it's coming about thanks for being with. all right benyamin netanyahu has scraped out a record fifth term as israel's prime minister after
7:12 pm
a hotly contested election details in just a couple minutes. when lawmakers manufacture consent to consistent to the public will. when the ruling closest to protect themselves. with the flaming. lips be the one. to ignore middle routes to. the real new. proposal relies on competition competition means that if you're winning ideas or
7:13 pm
winning companies you survive if you don't yell survive best survival of the fittest is competition but if you have a corrupt social bank who is willing to finance dodgy deals then it crowds out the good company and they end up with a lot of bad companies and it crowds out of competition and you end up with a with a with a crony capitalism. a welcome back this is our team international israel's benyamin netanyahu has managed to clinch a victory in the country's general election and will now serve as a record fifth term as head of the government the opposition conceded defeat on wednesday evening but also issued a stern warning to the prime minister. we did not win in this round i respect the voters i respect their decisions but i look around and see the ultimate tool
7:14 pm
for victory in the next round i want to inform likud and netanyahu and the coalition we're going to make your lives hell we will turn the knesset into a battleground. all right although netanyahu came out on top in the end it was a tight run race in the prime minister's likud party and the centrist a blue and white alliance of his rival benny gantz won both won thirty five seats but likud is expected to form a coalition government commanding a sixty five seat majority in the one hundred twenty seat knesset one leader in particular was quick to applaud netanyahu success. i'd like to congratulate b.p. that looks like that race has been won by him and maybe a little early but i'm hearing he's won it and wanted a good fashion show he's been a great ally this election has been a referendum on mr in a time the ows personal profile of mr in
7:15 pm
a time you know is under has been indicted conditioned upon a hearing where he can state his own defense and therefore you know that's very much what this election has been about and analysts here are saying and i joined them that that is not enough to win an election having said that it is going to take a substantial amount of mr netanyahu is time however even if the hearing his ability to defend himself in a hearing even if he fails in that effort legally he is entitle to continue as prime minister until. a trial and some potential conviction which would take a good couple of years so there are there it is it is fully within the confines and the sanction of israeli law that a sitting prime minister can continue to rule to leave the country even if he's
7:16 pm
been indicted. almost a voter's probably only took a short walk to the polling station one israeli entrepreneur traveled all the way from san francisco bringing more than one hundred ex-pats to mark make their mark rather in the election. as an israeli citizen i have the moral duty to comment and . state my voice and i felt like this is a very crucial election. to actually go ahead and make their fourth not just to kill myself but to be to organize a group of people who could actually come and vote my expectation was that we could bring. we could increase the number of voters. in general and show some kind of like an example for everyone to go out and vote and by that increase participation and hopefully more let less extreme government coming up with these election. all right prior to the vote
7:17 pm
israeli pm a valid to extend to sovereignty in the west bank by an exciting illegal settlements there something that was hailed by the right wing but raised many concerns among palestinians they say regardless of the election result israel's approach towards them will remain the same. as palestinians we see no change in the all the israeli parties and all these name of success of israel against palestinian rights and interests whoever the winner is in the israeli election we will be under occupation and these governments will change nothing for us. we think that the u.n. action and what is coming next from the new government probably be headed by the extreme right of he will only present police teams with more land stolen more killing more violations neglecting the palestinians international legitimacy israeli elections in general were competition between the right and the more extreme right as far as policies towards palestine is concerned what netanyahu did
7:18 pm
is that he secured the right of the fundamentalists the rise of the fundamentalist right in israel the students of that. group that is known for its fascist and racist views that was outlawed in israel 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 hard line their policies towards palestinians will be in a nutshell it will be a platform of no no to palestinian rights note that a palestinian state no to the one nine hundred sixty seven borders or international law and certainly no to a future promising any prospect of peace just more oppression this possession and i mix a sion while palestinians are expected to surrender and accept their miserable fate under this formula. a diplomatic dispute is brewing over the construction of
7:19 pm
a memorial museum at a former nazi death camp in poland warsaw has rejected several requests from russia to take part in the project was having an angry response from moscow here's archies medina cultural. subway bore was a nazi run killing center and any town secrets very few survived to average taliban scream chorus. 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 where could they run everyone rushed to the bulk wash fences and there they were met with the
7:20 pm
fire of machine guns and rifles many people died from the bullets the rest were driven into the gas chambers the fires were burning into 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 rolled over the death camp six hundred people exhausted yearning for freedom rushed forward sheltering her a in this single impulse the jews of russia and. the netherlands and from the czech is a vacuum in germany united it was only then that the tower guards realized that something was wrong in the camp and opened fire.
7:21 pm
unlike auschwitz 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 concerned that the part. if as history are now being over look at the group this is a matter for the whole of europe to rule in the so people come when i leave. russia and french it would also be other countries and that's what you know. this pain and loss of people who were tortured or died so that we never repeated 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 it was unfairly sidelines and the design of the museum especially as a soffit soldier was behind the here roy grew fault and escaped for sabi war the committee behind the project includes representatives from slovakia the netherlands
7:22 pm
poland and israel as the construction of the museum moved forward paul and opened the betting for those who 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 ince ministry of culture and national heritage say it's a logical decision the international steering committee maybe now to miss decision about continuing the cooperation between its current members who have already worked together for ten years in order to smoothly complete advance works on the
7:23 pm
new moon morial site the cultural standoff aside as high time average one as remembered for their suffering and bravery let me remind you of something where seventy thousand versus the liberation of the. after is broken a death camp was observed in poland. putin was not invited and given the fact that it was liberated 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 the of the inmates there in the horrible mass murders that took place there. alright wiki leaks claims that its co-founder join us and has been the subject of a u.s.
