day of debate leaders of the member states agreed to give britain may until the end of october to secure a deal on drugs that. crisis talks at the u.n. security council see russia and the us lock horns over venezuela with america's vice president giving a blunt assessment to the caracas envoy. with all due respect mr ambassador you shouldn't be here. you should return to venezuela. until nicolas maduro that his time is up. it's time for him to go. interfering in the affairs of other states. gain respect from that because if you

don't like it when others interfere in your affairs no one likes that. all right and israel's a. victory winning a fifth term as prime minister palestinians are already concerned it will lead to further rights violations in the occupied west bank. right broadcasting live from our studios international i'm glad to have you with us . at a high stakes bragg's it's a summit has been held in brussels where the heads of twenty seven you governments have agreed with britain to delay bragg's it until the end of october here is how e.u. leaders. called younger commented on the latest developments. flexibly expect it. so

a little bit. about that. to find the best possible solution each to not waste. i have to believe. my joke the first of. these so my guess would be the true reason if not the most social because if i have to leave to be thought i. well if brags that wasn't already a horror show filled with gruesome ghouls and scary characters it does seem that the new deadline for article fifty p. breaks that deadline will be the thirty first of october how when this was hammered out a deal into the well late the evening the early hours of thursday morning we understand there was an agreement to have a much longer extension be granted to the united kingdom however it was the french

in a manual micron that were the ones saying that they wanted a ship much shorter extension otherwise they wanted the u.k. as well and we made some pretty big concessions including giving up their seats on the european commission while they remain a member state they were told by john called you're going to carry on european commission president on that was definitely not going to happen and what it means is that the united kingdom will have to field of candidates in the upcoming european elections they'll be taken place next month but we do understand as well as the reactions back in the united kingdom some of to reach the maser own party are absolutely furious with her she arrived in brussels saying she wanted an extension only until june the thirtieth now it seems that with voting on into walked over and then having to put forward candidates for the european elections there's a lot of people in our own party calling for her head but as leaders were leaving

the summit everybody pretty much was saying this was the best. deal possible the best compromise that could be come to know that the risks huge frustration for many people that i had to request this extension the u.k. should have left the e.u. by now and i sincerely regrets the fact that i have not yet been able to persuade parliament to approve a deal which would allow the u.k. to leave in a smooth and orderly way but the choices we now face are stark and the timetable is clear thanks to the reason we reserve the word function of. the year european. by the week because of you and all the years of. the focus of the we we do arrival of even before that with the british parliament will sit on the first day but then they go off for their easter break with a lot of people suggesting that to reason may may not even be the prime minister

when they come back may not be the leader of their party a lot of other people suggesting that this amount of time well we could see a general election we could see a second referendum on whether the u.k. wants to well leave the european union interestingly enough as soon as the announcement was made that the deal had been reached the u.k. electoral commission announced that this was roughly the right amount of time for them to be able to organize a second referendum but what this is this is what the european union do they come to compromises that's what the whole idea of the organization supposed to be about and it gives them the ability to be able to say that the e.u. hasn't forced out a member state and it puts the ball firmly back in the u.k. scorsone says if you want to leave you're going to have to agree somehow between yourselves to the deal that's already being agreed that withdrawal agreement it's been said time and time again that is the withdrawal agreement it isn't going to be

reopened and that was mentioned throughout this summit. so that leaves us with the options we've had for quite a while now either the extension which we have now to try and find a solution for an orderly exit of the united kingdom the other option one of the other options is that article fifty is revoked essentially counseling breaks that that would come with its own set of problems the third option well is that the u.k. leaves without a deal or not is the well that's the solution that nobody really wants not the u.k. not the european union because that is going to cost a lot of money and a lot of heartache it's basically imagine back in the old days when people would sail in the months run to the end at the end of the market just set there be dragons that is you know deal. with venezuela zam going power struggle sending the country sliding deeper into crisis russia and the u.s.

have clashed at the u.n. security council over how to tackle me up if. i give the floor to the representative of russia you have you have the floor and turn on going for us the order of the of this week puts the rumors to mr president you can turn your ass round as many times as you wish but i would take as much time as i need. while the fifteen member body that leads the united nation convened in the security council and the meeting began with presentations by u.n. officials describing the crisis in the country then when member states began to speak mike pence the u.s. vice president represented the usa and gave remarks harshly critical of the venezuelan government he told a heart wrenching story of an interaction he ad with a venezuelan father and his sons from there he went on to call for governments around the world as well as the un itself to withdraw our recognition from the door

and recognize one kwaito as the legitimate govern. meant the legitimate head of state of that is layla now there was a response from the russian ambassador who pointed out that the usa has quite a habit of telling the heart wrenching stories in order to justify its interventions let's take a listen 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 too little boys looked up. and nodded. to the you could you in the commuter we have already seen it in other regions these chilling stories about the suffering of people in iraq syria and libya from witnesses are based in the

west on the that 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 his remarks went on to invoke the second world war saying that the usa and the rest of the 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 that as well as affairs and create a crisis in the country had a lot to do with the current situation this is the russian ambassador 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 are 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 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 with all due respect mr ambassador you shouldn't be here you should return to venezuela. and tell nicolas maduro that his time is up it's time for him to go. it is time to . stop interfering in the affairs of other states you will only gain respect from that which was you but you don't like it when others interfere in your affairs no

one likes that. 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 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. sara flounders of the anti-war international action center believes u.s. sanctions are to blame for venezuela's collapsing economy. there are people leaving venezuela absolutely that's true because u.s. economic destabilization and sanctions have laid wreck to the economy billions of dollars literally confiscated and sanctions we should remember sanctions are a weapon or literally because of sanctions venezuela is receiving now they it's been reduced eighty percent their essential medicines that means even

basic things like insulin are now in short supply to cause them as well or their purchase what they did purchase for years on the world market and it's become a routine weapon on the part of all street why should that to force for peace that comply with completely unjust economic demands. israel's at burnie i mean who has managed to clinch a victory in the country's general election and will now serve a record fifth term as head of 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 for victory in the next round i want to inform netanyahu and the coalition we are going to make your lives hell we will turn the knesset into

a battleground. although netanyahu came out on top in the end it was a tired run race the prime minister's likud party and the centrist blue and white alliance of his rival benny gantz 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 c. to knesset one leader in particular was quick to applaud the netanyahu success. i'd like you graduate to be that it looks like that race has been won by him maybe a little early but i'm hearing what it wanted a good fashion so he's been a great ally this election has been a referendum on mr in a time the aus personal profile mr in 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 has 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 been indicted. well most voters probably only took a short walk to the polling station one israeli entrepreneur traveled all the way from san francisco bringing in more than one hundred ex-pats to make their mark 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 call 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 to increase our participation and hopefully the more let less extreme government coming up with these election. on prior to the vote the israeli pm valid to extend sovereignty in the west bank by illegal settlements there something that was hailed by the right wing but raised many concerns among palestinians they say regardless of the election results israel's approach towards

them will remain the same. as palestinians we see no change in the end all the israeli parties and all these names 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. so we think that the u.n. action and what is coming next from the new government probably be headed by the extreme right 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 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 a memorial museum at a former nazi death camp in poland warsaw has rejected several requests from russia to take part in the project eliciting an angry response from moscow here's artie's mundine a coach of. sabi bore was

a nazi run killing center and any town secrets very few survive to average talent and scream course. another unit arrived once they were already undressed they apparently understood where they were being taken naked and all in fear they ran away the way could they run everyone rush to the bob watch 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 into late at night it'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 from 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 in one thousand. it was only then that the tower guards realized that something was wrong in the camp and opened fire. 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 concern that key 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. russians french and also people from other countries and that's what you know this pain the loss of people who were tortured there and 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 was unfairly sidelines and the design of the museum especially as a soffit soldier was behind the here roy group fold 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 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 made eighty nine amiss 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 new morial site the cultural standoff aside as high time avril one as remembered for their suffering and bravery let me remind you of something where seventy thousand verses of the liberation of the auschwitz death camp. after his

broken house death camp was observed in poland latin reputing 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. wiki leaks claims that its co-founder julian assange has been the subject of a u.s. led spying operation dating back to two thousand and twelve reporting from london here's artie's nisha setting. well tensions have been escalating over the past few days off to wiki leaks tweeted that julian assange could be expelled from the ecuadorian embassy within a matter of hours or days and now speaking at

a press conference in london weekly said here in chief says there's been an extensive spying operation against julian assange within the and the sea itself this material gathered contains gigabytes of recorded phidias and already a material and photos as well monterrey songes every mason every visitor now these documents were shown in the press briefing there were also copies of legal notes from his lawyers and also video recordings of doctors assessing a ship a songe and taking blood except tra let's take a listen to the wiki leaks editor in chief about what was actually obtained. a covert. the extensive spying operation against the us within the ecuadorian embassy earlier as ours has been living you know sort of the . truman show like situation inside the embassy what we have to establish is

that security cameras were used more the tour is every move. i would like to share it with the truck administration i feel familiar with the truman show the truman show where truman's every move is watched and recorded it's now this was all and covers because the documents and allegedly emerged in spain and we used by a group who contacted wiki leaks and threatens to publish them citing their own terms and conditions few weeks ago we learned that some individuals in spain. where . the information that they have much of torture all false documents relating to julian asserts that got a. email back from the individual but to the phones of those. where he said. this look too real. surprise the prize is from three million euros it was photographs of julian so at the embassy this situation looks

for the photographs there we can accept a tear in chief decided this was a matter for the police a full investigation has been opened some is currently being handled by legal team who say this is a serious extortion case following this new discovery that this demonstrates exactly how much surveillance julian assange is and with his lawyer saying it's a huge violation of confidence and a violation of privacy as well. india's general action starts on thursday but in the lead up a new player seems to have entered the political arena facebook the social media giant is being accused of interfering by blocking pages it considers to be dissin from asian countries donald quarter comments. facebook has been on fire lately removing thousands of pages it considered to be inauthentic and the target of their latest campaign meddling in india's upcoming elections as indians prepare to fruit

in the general election for the seventeenth look so facebook and family of apps continue our efforts to help make sure the elections are for and free from interference both from and domestic with almost two hundred fifty million users in the country facebook's regulation of political content has a wide reach earlier this month they removed over seven hundred pages marked fake and although only fifteen were promoting the ruling party prime minister modi took a big hit and that's because those dozen or so pages had almost two and a half million more followers than the rest and who's helped at facebook in the list to fight that election meddling domestic and foreign and american. think tank called the atlantic council even its own employees were surprised some within our community may view this partnership with skepticism we would expect nothing less

and encourage more in fact a healthy skepticism is a vital part of digital resilience but how healthy is that skepticism really. dig and this isn't the norm and it is right america. again and soon our modern. indian journalist a bit i or me try lodged a criminal complaint against facebook accusing the social network of waging a war against india he claims the tech giant is trying to interfere in the internal process of the election at the behest of foreign powers really. you know we're going to run the not this is. the use. this is the evidence. and you are one of the.

pieces. the atlantic council receives millions of dollars from the u.s. state department nato and washington's allies abroad could it be that some of that foreign funding is finding its way into a social media campaign against meddling both domestic and foreign why. the students in this crash. were going to. far far off that. this is. i think he did base you know. you don't need to. make. this. now that does it for me i will be back in thirty minutes with a look at your headlines you are watching r.t. international that was.

what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. somehow i want to press. you to go right to the press this is what the before three of the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the water. when trying to american foreign policy at its core is it really about furthering national interest is there an ideological foundation that is the driver we are told .
