4:01 am
live from russia eleven am here in moscow now my name is kevin i would hear the latest half hour update for you and if you're getting a big briefing this morning predicts it is first to get the latest twist in terms of that that it went on all night the european union is allowing britain's prime minister a new breaks of the extension this time until october thirty first after ten so you summit held until the small hours of thursday morning the leaders came to an agreement eventually but issued a warning to the u.k. not to misuse the time. this extension as flexible as i expected it. and so a little bit shorter than i expected but there's still enough. to find at first for salusa aleutian nice to not waste this stuff i have to leave. my joke on the first of. so
4:02 am
my guess would be the true reason if not the most social because if i have to leave to be thought i. will it breaks it wasn't already a horror show filled with gruesome ghouls and scary characters it does seem that the new deadline for article fifty the brags that deadline will be the thirty first of october how when this was hammered out at a deal into the well late evening in the early hours of thursday morning we understand there was a an agreement to have a much longer extension being granted to the united kingdom however it was the french in a manual micron the were the ones saying that they wanted a shorter extension otherwise they wanted the u.k. to well make some pretty big concessions including giving up their seat on the european commission while they remained
4:03 am
a member state they were told by john claude younger the current european commission president that was definitely not going to happen what it means though is that the united kingdom will have to field candidates in the upcoming european elections the reason may arrived in brussels saying she wanted an extension only until june the thirtieth now it seems that with running on into october 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 there is huge frustration from many people that i had to request this extension the u.k. should have left the e.u. by now and i sincerely regret 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 time table
4:04 am
is clear sense to this agreement we preserve the well functioning of zia european union i see we fix a deal and all those years of consequences before the first of november which will be zero rival of the new commission so for me this is a good solution. i think that in order to give greater leeway and room to the u.k. decision making process the decision we've taken today is a good one but that's the extension we have at the moment it's not the one year 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 so with a new deadline set there's a host of options on the table for the divorce from the european union first of parliament can still a dub some agreement deal and leave the e.u. at any time or it can do the complete opposite revoke article fifteen even cancel bragg's it six months could also be enough time for
4:05 am
a general election or another referendum on brecht sit with a prime minister's next move next today is to brief the house of commons that's happening thursday afternoon u.k. i mean peace stephen wall for believes this new deal is far from what the people in britain voted for. this is about the fundamental decisions of whether the people of our country should be asked to vote on something and our politicians take the exact opposite decision politicians over people not people over politicians i don't think it's what most people expected three years ago when they voted to leave and i think it's going to cause an awful lot of upset and anger and huge disappointment in the political process and our politicians or the key fundamentals of leaving the european union was that we would not be broken trolled by the european union laws and as a consequence we could even have our own laws which would diverges way from the european union a custom union doesn't do that secondly we'd be able to negotiate our own trade
4:06 am
deals a custom union doesn't allow that so in all the key points that we argued that would mean independent nation we like that canada or australia or new zealand or india or brazil or all these countries in the world we will not be like them we will effectively be a state in the european union run by the european union but perhaps we just no representation at the table. u.s. vice president my pencils called on the united nations to revoke the credentials of venezuela's ambassador the demand came at a heated security council meeting it's seen as another show of support them for washington but opposition leader one guy i don't know who declared himself interim president to the south american country back in january. this body should revoke the credentials of venezuela's representative to the united nations 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. to field
4:07 am
if you have the power in your hands to expel your enemies from the united nations those that you do not like indicates to me that you don't understand the charter of the united nations and the purposes and principles of the united nations so stop interfering in the affairs of other states you will only gain respect from that which was a duty but you don't like it when others interfere in your affairs no one likes that. meantime a battle venezuelan president nicolas maduro still has power and still has control despite u.s. economic and diplomatic ongoing pressure russia's ambassador to the u.n. says events at the security council rather attempt by washington that regime change caleb maupin full of the session in more detail like pets 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 adds with a venezuelan father and his sons and i'll never forget when
4:08 am
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 of the. and nodded. to the you could you in the commuter we have already seen it in other regions of the chilling stories about the suffering of people in iraq and syria and libya from witnesses are based in the west that is after that the real suffering began in those countries and still hasn't stopped do you want the same in venezuela 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 we would use it with one hand you are
4:09 am
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 the venezuelan government criticized forces around the world for recognizing 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 pointing out that one great oh and his his self-appointed government doesn't control a single street within venezuela itself when it comes to the situation in venezuela and who is responsible for 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 there are people
4:10 am
leaving venezuela absolutely that's true because u.s. economic destabilization and sanctions have laid rock to the economy billions of dollars literally confiscated and sanctions we should remember sanctions are a weapon or literally because of sanctions venezuela. is receding now. it's been reduced eighty percent your 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 art of all street why should that to force for peace the law i was completely unjust economic demands. a different story but kind of similar of a mike pence wasn't the only want to use the word tyranny toward florida state's u.s. secretary of state might pompei a branded north korea's leader
4:11 am
a tyrant but when pressed stopped short of using the same label for egypt's hardline president. there's a difference to mung leaders you you might call them tie or you might call them authoritarian but but there's a fundamental difference and therefore a fundamental difference in the way the united states should respond there you have it dictators worldwide now is a good time to order someone to take notes it isn't about how many innocents you kill how repressive you are or how much you steal you'll be relieved to hear nuna it's all about how many favors you do for america it's a great honor to have the crown prince with us of saudi arabia has been. a very great friend and a big purchaser of equipment and lots of other things and one of the biggest investments of the united states is there are i guess it's your big investment is buying stock in companies and various other things in the united states and
4:12 am
creating jobs and all known to be in the world's heading capital arguably the most massaging istic nation on earth led by kings to win elects a nation maya in alleged war crimes and atrocities in neighboring yemen all forgiven if you buy enough american guns contrast saudi arabia with cuba for example a whole lot less sexism mudda war but also not enough trade deals with the us verdict tyrants for decades cuba has tried to create client states across our region. while normal countries export goods. cuba exports tyranny and strong arm tactics it's the same story for every government foolish enough to ignore america's interests those who would otherwise be called strong leaders become tyrants because madeira is a dictator with no legitimate claim our rocket man is on
4:13 am
a suicide mission for himself and for his regime the level of corruption wealth among our a leader shows that iran is run by something that resembles the mafia more than a government is another friend the united arab emirates ruled by monarchs with the opposition kept on the verge of extinction thanks to a local phenomenon where activists tend to magically disappear says human rights watch the u.a.e. is a good friend of america the u.a.e. is only one of three countries and the only arab nation to participate with the u.s. in six coalition actions over the last twenty years afghanistan libya somalia bosnia kosovo the one nine hundred ninety gulf war and the fight against isis the rwanda another pow ruled by paul kagame in for twenty years now an experienced
4:14 am
talented dictator and whom says h r w many opposition figures have gotten themselves killed incarcerated exiled or tortured very effective it shutting people up mr president to you mr vice president. you have shown great vision in your efforts to create a single nation in which all citizens can live freely in securely. the thing with american interests is that american interests america benefits and the other guy well at least he doesn't get labeled as a tyrant and gets a pass on all the dictator wish things he wants to do ask the people of where the us propped up a brutal murder up to see who was in power for more than thirty years. from the. road.
4:15 am
we can go on and on but you get the gist it's simple and effective message to everyone with a radical terrorists you do what's good for america you serve american interests by gardens stocks political favor and you can quite literally get away with murder. speculation is growing over a photo of the city's president bashir this morning it's news coming in reports are spreading that he could be about relinquished or is be removed by the military after thirty years of rule the world is expected to make a statement in the upcoming i was probably it's possibly imminent let's go to a regional correspondent across the. morning what is the latest coming through from there then. well as you say we have heard from the sudanese armed forces that they will issue an important statement and they have asked residents to
4:16 am
wait with hearing with porter that statement could be made in the coming minutes now it has raised one of two expectations either the sudanese president omar bashir who's been in power for the better part of thirty years has already stepped down or he has been removed by the army there are unconfirmed reports and i must stress of these reports are in need that he has stepped down and their top regime officials have been arrested by the army now this follows more than. months of antigovernment protests against the president who is wanted by the international war crimes tribunals that has been carried out for he's current whereabouts are unknown these anti-government protests started back in december they were initially protests against the spiraling economy that they soon grew to include cause for the president to step down and there has been a sit in front of the military headquarters that includes the presidential residence in hock to now another call way in tal to a few hours ago for people to make their way there and join the city in and
4:17 am
thousands of people have been in the on big including women and children many of whom have been holding up the v. sign the victory sign with organizers saying that they will stay there until the regime is replaced by a civilian transitional government now this is the worst crisis that sudan has faced in as it has been deadly clashes that have left twenty two people killed so and urgently a solution is being sought and as i say we are awaiting that the military statement which we have been told he's about. the situation is really heating up doesn't it will be across the breaking news as it happens rather day is there more developments coming keep crossing for us thank you paula it's seventeen minutes past eleven. leavened coming up after the break donald trump cole's other movie report on russian collusion is an attempted coup just one of the stories ahead.
4:18 am
i remain very much opposed to military intervention i am opposed to it because i fundamentally do not believe it is in us interest there are several issues at play in venezuela one is the terrible terrible humanitarian state into which venezuela has fallen under the regime of the first of which i was told that alone in my
4:19 am
opinion is not a justification for an american invasion. sorry for france next to a new study has shown a nebulous of anonymous twitter accounts being used to forward the ideas the french president and his ruling parties come out including the promotion of candidates for european elections partly is despite strict legislation against fake news an anonymous accounts announced by a man whom across the beginning of the year sheila dube and ski reports. president maccarone hates fake news and the manipulation of social networks to protect our democracy is we have to fight against the ever growing virus of fake news that it's a referendum that has been manipulated manipulated from the exterior by a lot of what we call fake news you have an account in the bahamas no i don't have
4:20 am
an account in the bahamas i may regret it but that is an example of what we've talked about it is typical of what we call fake news in the news i've decided that we will change our legal arsenal to protect a democratic life from fake news a new bill that will soon be drafted to that effect in particular he likes to point the finger at russia russian boats and anyone considered to be a russell file his government is even passed strict laws to combat the manipulation of information but now it seems his party lover public amash has been cool with his hand in the cookie jar and investigation discovered that love the public on march attempted to manipulate twitter traffic ahead of its meeting of its top candidates in next month's european elections it points to cost of accounts tweeting and retreating well above the average take this account opened in february two thousand
4:21 am
and seventeen that is broadcast nearly fifty four thousand tweets also me a fairly doesn't even seem to remember her name that could suggest that the account isn't only one person but is actually run by multiple people the study found that this could also be the case with many other accounts in the uk or in this sphere saying they're being used seven days a week from seven am until midnight did someone mention a troll factory. there are according to or so. has over four and a half thousand accounts of this kind and they generated sixty eight percent at the retreats ahead of that meeting by love the public on marsh candidate the study described that as a demonstration of strength the goal being in the logic of pure propaganda the creation of
4:22 am
a mass effect if we believe the research. party is doing more than just clamping down on nasty social media content he's manipulating it for his own game show or do risky arty paris. dog trying to slam the investigation into russian interference in the twenty sixteen presidential election describing it as an attempted coup against him. it was it illegal investigation it was started illegally everything about it was for a few every single thing about it there were dirty cops is what people. told me you look at least and peters brought these people and this was a and it ted did this is this is simply takedown of a president trump statement comes the same day as attorney general william testify before the u.s. senate bugg claim during the hearings that spying by u.s.
4:23 am
intelligence agencies was carried out against trump's campaign. well for the same reason we're worried about foreign influence in elections we want to make sure that . during the election i think spying on a political campaign is a big deal so you're not you're not suggesting now that spying occurred because you could i think there was a spying did occur yes i think spying did occur independent lloris has president trouble has good reason to think that will approach was launched to undermine him. but there's some basis to what he said i mean there was a censure there was what i doubt now an attempt to undermine and we can and if not overthrow him through a pitchman an elected president who we may not to see who may not like and that is something more dangerous than perhaps even trump so he has a basis to say although he did he did he does tend towards hyperbole that there was
4:24 am
an attempt to undermine him and to overthrow him in a sense if they had succeeded but unfortunately for them for the f.b.i. and the others involved in this the miller vest a geisha turned up empty there was no there there and as peter struck that one of the f.b.i. agents of volved in this mess said in one of his text messages to be true elisa page was working for a department as well so of the agency so there was an attempt to do this trump is going to make what he can out of this. obviously for political reasons so i wouldn't go over to that extent of rhetoric but i think he has some he has some basis to say this yes. some twenty four or more in just a recap of the breaking news has come in it's kind of stepped up a gear in the last hour or so news in from sudan about the sudanese president the fate of him reports cover the could be about already has relinquished or is being removed by the military after thirty years of rule the military is expected to make a statement we keep hearing in the last couple hours imminently we'll keep you updated on that seem tens of thousands of people been maintaining
4:25 am
a protest outside military headquarters this in some of the demanding his removal it looks like a developing story where the people to keep you updated on an r.c. dot com and don't forget download are up as well for now though this morning at eleven twenty five on the butt moscow time thanks for watching out international with me every now and. oh and. will. it. will.
4:26 am
be. break said countdown. us veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. were going after the people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the wellbeing of their own soldiers either there are already several generations of them so i just got this memo. that says we're going to destroy the government in seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with their money others. if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for a war and surely we can risk some discomfort. for.
4:27 am
hello and welcome to walter to many in the american policy community and donald trump is a total disgrace and tiller since he proposes to bestow the american values on yet another foreign country. in the eyes of his critics to discuss that i'm now joined by former american ambassador it's a pattern john feely ambassador it's great to talk to thank you very much for it's a real pleasure now you made quite a splash resigning from your position last year as citing the difference in values between you and president trump and valleys especially american of ours
4:28 am
a very broad concept the russians it is sometimes difficult to grasp was there anything specific that made you quit. there were a number of factors nobody decides to leave a thirty year professional diplomatic career based on just one a vent in my case i was very concerned during the election about the rhetoric that i heard the president using with regard to building a wall on our southern border i had served in mexico twice i knew the country well i knew how well and green we were in terms of our economy in terms of the flow of goods and people legitimate goods and people across the border as well as illegitimate drugs and human smuggling but i also knew how important how vitally important mexico is to the united states and vice versa so i was very concerned about the wall i was with them in the wall doesn't mean cutting diplomatic or trade ties with mexico does a well the president has threatened to do many many things
4:29 am
but threatening and doing are two different things and what was my catalytic moment was had nothing to do with the wall it had to do with the riot curd in charlottesville there were neo nazis who marched and sadly one woman was killed by somebody who ran a rover with a car and the president did not condemn it. and that is what triggered me to say if he doesn't condemn the neo nazis then i don't believe that i can represent him over she i have a sense that you also had the issues for of his. personality because in one interview you compared him to the losser rafter who sees every unknown person as a threat ready to kill anyone who doesn't show him deference and so with claim that the united states has little tolerance for challengers i mean they have the history of the united states in latin america provides many of examples don't you think
4:30 am
that trump reflects some pertinent. characteristics of the united states as a country the style of it's a gauge meant in the neighborhood around the world i would suggest to the putin doesn't accept challenges very well either that's not to be married if you really mean marriage can be very very different styles i think i disagree i think they have a very similar style and the difference is not very bombastic tromp this bomb bashed but it's that idea of not brooking dissent of not accepting when there is criticism of shutting down media outlets in russia or in the united states calling it fake news and shouting everybody. so i think they're very similar but they have different styles but ok but doesn't own style reflects something about the way the america historically.
