i. i i. i. i. i. i. i. think that we will no longer grant any exemption we're going to zero shinton says that it will no longer exempt any countries from its sanctions on a rainy and oil imports suggesting its own crude and that produced by gulf allies as the. french police are accused of cracking down on press freedoms after arresting reporters during the weekends yellow vest protests. and us democrats

pledge to present a united front to impeach president trump after news the unredacted version of the miller probe on russia collusion will be introduced to congress on may the first. company this evening this is r.t. . oil prices shot to six month highs ahead of the us announcement that it will scrap exemptions on around crude imports secretary of state might pump confirmed that washington will not extend waivers the data granted to eight countries. that will no longer grant any exemptions for going to zero. going to zero across the board seems like washington d.c. is looking to escalate its campaign against iran to isolate iran now in his

announcement pompei all bragged that iran has already lost about ten billion dollars and he said and his remarks that he emphasized basically that nobody should be doing any business with iran that any nation or entity interacting with iran should use its diligence and err on the side of caution the risks are simply not going to be worth the benefits if you don't abide by this they'll be sanctions now it's been about a year since the trumpet ministration unilaterally withdrew from the j c p o a the p five plus one nuclear conclusion that basically pulled the united states out of the nuclear deal that had been made with iran and now we see that there have been eight countries in the world they were granted waivers from the u.s. sanctions and allowed to continue buying iranian oil in exchange for the fact they were reducing it those countries were china india japan south korea taiwan turkey italy and greece those waivers are now being taken away the united states is

announcing there will be no exceptions there will be no iranian oil they are saying no one should do business with iran and the countries who want to make up the difference should either buy crude from the united states or they should buy it from saudi arabia or the united arab emirates both the kingdom of saudi arabia and the united arab emirates have assured us they will ensure an appropriate supply for the markets and of course united states is now a significant producer as well. i can confirm that each of those suppliers are working directly with the runs for more customers to make the transition away from iranian crude less disruptive now the people's republic of china which imports quite a bit of oil from iran was certainly not happy to hear this announcement. was opposes unilateral sanctions and low u.s. jurisdiction china's cooperation with iran is transparent and the g eight summit and should be respected now turkey has also voiced opposition to this announcement

saying it rejects this unilateral move from the united states we're waiting to hear from the european union which has long been an advocate of the nuclear deal and a critic of the way trump unilaterally withdrew the united states from it so we're waiting to see further reactions that we've seen the reaction on the international oil markets this is a dramatic move from the united states. ruptly video agency to the streets of tehran to get iranians reaction to washington's latest make. i get more behind if you want to process but we shouldn't rely so we know well we have to get all of this took so supreme we decide we should do you this is an opportunity over the last ten years we have found ways that allow us to keep exporting so i'm not at all worried in this respect kind of runs on oil exports but pressure would marry raining and it's us who are bearing the brunt in response to the us may have iran a certain to block the strait of hormuz the world's key oil artery transporting

more than a third of international crude fod is a professor of political communication at the university of tehran told us this is no empty threat. if iran is not able to sell oil iran is not able to use this state of almost no other country the u.s. government is not running the ball. over two hundred independent countries what us is asking this country is illegal internationally us congress can dictate to american companies about their international trade the u.s. government or u.s. congress can make it to other countries what to do this is the height of arrogance and this is what we have seen in the trump administration the height of u.s. money the u.s. government is why elating. countries like china india and south korea japan and other countries are buying. journalist organizations

have condemned french police have to reporters were detained on saturday during the twenty third consecutive weekend of your live s. protest. devinsky takes a closer look. well the two independent journalists were among the more than two hundred individuals who were detained by police arrested in act twenty three the names are gassed by the glance and also lexis kurland we know that the paris prosecutor has said that they were arrested for participation in a group to commit violence or degradation now the interior ministry has been talking about the arrests of these journalists they said that the police c.r.s. these officers are out every week they're out to try and make sure that there is safety for the demonstrators and the journalist carry out these protests and also to cover these protests that have been happening there since november every week since november here in france but that statement from the interior ministry then

goes on to say that if journalists are deemed to have committed an offense then they are likely to also be detained and arrested by the officers on the ground now the national union of journalists in france sees that as being just right and it has gone even further saying it believes that some journalists are being specifically targeted. there is a question the merging is their determination to intimidate journalists we have an impression some of them are being targeted since the yellow vest movement appeared the number of incidents targeting journalists when they're filming or photographing how has the walk the press and limits the coverage of events which represent crucial public interest. what journalists have been confronted with for months by security forces over the yellow vests movement is unprecedented outrageous and very dangerous they interfere with birken all possible

ways journalists are not given access that press cards are taken away they're told we don't care about you cause you won't get through their equipment just taken away and broken their shop was empty right guns as if by mistake obviously by accident then kneecaps of broken they attacked and injured in various ways this has been captured in numerous videos and photographs we have received already more than thirty complaints. it's now five months since this protest movement began twenty three consecutive weeks of protests and every week thousands of offices are out and streets to try and control this protests last saturday at twenty three there were some sixty thousand officers deployed across france to try and control those protests and we've also seen the protesters turning on the police in recent weeks specifically on saturday where there were protesters filmed screaming at the police go kill yourselves let's take a look at the violence that marred yet another protest by the.

so what can put out the fire of these protests that have been going on for so long in france president michel in hopes of the speech he's due to make on thursday to outline his response to the big debate this is the debate that they started to ask people what their issues were in france will actually call the protests will it well i'm not so sure because so far nothing has been able to stop these protests. but a trump is suing a democratic congressional committee for trying to obtain these financial records for the past decade claiming the demand is politically motivated that's after the

democrats requested an unproductive version of the report be passed to congress on may first part is now considering whether to start impeachment proceedings against trump. it may be that we undertake an appeal nonetheless i think what we are going to have to decide is a caucus is what is the best thing for the country waters wholly and castro have said we should begin proceedings to impeach the president are you there yet i can foresee that possibly coming that there is another information there not only on obstruction of justice but also on collusion or conspiracy whatever you want to call it to move forward with impeachment on this president of the report says there was no rush of collusion during the twenty sixteen election campaign but couldn't determine whether their own was or not obstruction of justice committed by the president sees new carens been addressing how the lengthy investigation ended with cools to evict him from the oval office. for the past two years robert muller and

his special reports have been the darling of news fodder miller's celeb status skyrocketed after he was tasked with answering one simple question have donald trump cheated his way into the white house with a little help from his friends in the kremlin what followed was two years of soap opera sized scandal and intrigue with bizarre rumors salacious gossip plot twists and an enviable cast list the anticipation for the premiere of the final report was like waiting for the latest tarantino whatever grisly tell it was about to divulge it was going to be all kinds of golden globe star good the thing is what dropped was a box office flop the people wanted scandal and humiliation they wanted shock and horror they wanted house of cards what they got was mr bean the first official trailer of the much anticipated report was released by the general prosecutor

william barr in march and it was savaged instead of the explosive finale promised what they got was the equivalent of they woke up and it was all a dream in one thousand eight hundred nine a.g. barr refused to release the department of justice legal opinion choosing to release a summary report and it was later revealed the characterized parts of the union in the summary and pay as they like weight we paid thirty million dollars for that on a quest to seek out the scandal the democrats for an uncensored version of the report if there is juice in that report the dems are going to squeeze it out imagine what kind of sauce could be concealed under all those redacted pages but is it possible to breathe new life into a dead well maybe it is the director's cut of the mother report will include deleted scenes along with mothers and bars comments and under the sexed up new title and obstruction of justice. it's the same report same investigation just with

some expert editing thoughtful repackaging angling for at least a couple of sequels before the twenty twenty alexion takeover i have called on to house to initiate impeachment proceedings this is an invitation to congress to say you can do it using the impeachment power we want to remove him from office by gaining back our democracy and electing a democrat president you know i wouldn't support it. no i don't think with the elections coming up we'll have an opportunity to voice what we want to have in the next four years with no mind to him to be impeached because it would destroy the people. and it wouldn't do any good i don't think it would necessarily be good for keeping the country more unified there's a big partisan divide meanwhile larry king host of the politicking show here on r t

spoke with the former foreign policy adviser to trump's presidential campaign that's george papadopoulos he was the first person charged under the motor investigation and he pleaded guilty on october twenty seventh you can watch the full version of the interview on our website on the dot com for now there is a preview. did you have a russian connection that's the that's the million dollar question that my answer is i've never been to russia i've never met a russian official in my entire life and actually all of my work leading up to my work my time on the campaign was very hostile to russia because i was in the energy business and the last thing you're doing as an american person is promoting russian interests why did you believe well look at the time i pled guilty i had been violently arrested at an airport ok i was under sealed i go i will go well i had seven f.b.i. agents essentially rushed me off of a shuttle bus at an airport after i hadn't slept in thirty hours i'm thrown into

the back seat of a tinted black s.u.v. thrown in a prison cell without understanding why i was being arrested and i basically plead guilty without understanding exactly what the real case was against me what do you make of the whole mole investigation in my couple sentences i believe the more investigation was designed for one reason the one reason only and that was to cover up surveillance abuse by the obama administration on people like myself mike flynn manna ford and carter page but unfortunately that's not going to happen because the president just a couple days ago or maybe last week was on hannity and hannity asked him a couple questions are you going to pardon papadopoulos and flynn he demurred and he said look it's a sad situation a look we'll get back to that later but right now the most important thing is declassifying all this feisty material the three zero two and figuring out how this entire investigation started.

east the sunday bomb attacks that left two hundred ninety people dead and hundreds more injured in sri lanka were carried out with the help of an international network according to government officials we do not believe these attacks were carried out by a group of people who are confined to this country there was an international network without which these attacks could not have succeeded. special forces also blew up a van near one of the targeted churches witnesses reported to have been punk since the explosion and if. that wasn't anything we heard a loud bang and we fainted that solar remember we heard

a loud explosion and everything collapsed we managed to protect the children but when i came here i found out that my son in law and my son had died. i wish to express my heartfelt celeste our sister christian communities affected one that was oppressed with all the symptoms of such cruelty foreigners. didn't hear any conflicts conflicts in this peaceful island however there was a warning issued by the national chief of police. days ago and this negligence show that. this wouldn't if it was taken into

account and taken seriously all those casualties would have been avoided this is a national disaster because this scale i mean if you look at the map and the locations of the hotels and the churches. in eight places eight places court naked and today they declared the police declared seventy eight visit me didn't bumps were found this is a lot this is a national catastrophe and staying with international more news after this break.

seems wrong wrong just don't call. me. yet to shape out to stay active. and engaged in the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. trump said many times that you know we got there are advantages you know with the embassy to jerusalem the mission of jerusalem is our capital and said that there will be some painful things that israel will not like either so this is why i think the palestinians should come with open. minds to the to the negotiations.

back scores of british euro skeptics will be elected if brussels forces the u.k. to hold e.u. parliamentary elections next month the stark warning coming from britain's trade minister. the last thing the european partners want fifth to disrupt if and resentful u.k. members of european parliament if british m.p.'s again reject reason made spriggs divorce till next month the day after the vote the u.k. will take part in e.u. parliamentary elections meanwhile top level disagreements over the u.k. taking part in those elections have been voiced that the use parliament i fear that it will continue and certainty i fear that it will prolong the indecision and i fear most of all that it will alter the backs of mass into the european union

and moreover that it will poison the upcoming european election has the right. to take. actions i also can't agree to establishing a second got to go to membership. if you will for an independent member of the european parliament thinks the rise of u.k. euro skeptics could force brussels into a rethink in bragg's it talks. if you get fifty euro skeptics or even thirty euro step to which i think would be a reasonable number you have to see where the concern is for the european they know that this election is a big election and for the european union because they expect and the polls are showing that about one hundred sixty to one hundred seventy euro skeptics will come from germany sweden italy hungary poland and if you have thirty british any p.s.

the number there for could be up to about two hundred and two hundred opponents of the european union could make a lot of trouble if they do see large numbers of euro skeptics all joining up together creating problems in the legislative process delaying or slowing it down or maybe even stopping it and that will give an impetus for the council of the commission to perhaps say maybe we can renegotiate in some way so that we can get these euro skeptic brits out. vietnam is demanding justice from the agro chemical giant monsanto after a series of u.s. court rulings awarded millions of dollars in damages to the american victims of herbicides dioxin a highly toxic element of the so-called agent orange herbicide he's widely against vietnam during the war has been linked to birth defects cancerous and other major health problems.

through her. in an open letter the vietnam assessing. of victims of agent orange us the us court to reopen a previously dismissed lawsuit against monsanto the cessation believes that the recent us court rulings have set a precedent on center itself which is now part of the pharmaceutical giant admits responsibility for creating agent orange but not for the damage associated with it . vietnamese having an historical case will add weight to its claims in one thousand nine hundred four a class action lawsuit was settled out of court to compensate u.s.

soldiers he suffered from agent orange of ten years a total of almost two hundred million dollars in cash payments were distributed working out of the around three thousand eight hundred dollars per trip. investigative reporter dave lindorff believes for courts to rule in favor of american soldiers but not for actual victims of vietnam would smack of double standards the u.s. what for i think over a decade. of vietnam veterans who were getting the same kinds of illnesses that the vietnamese people are getting because they handled it and because it was sprayed on them and finally they won and the government now accepts. fourteen diseases and. ill mints and cancers are presumptively caused by exposure to agent orange so you know for the u.s. to do that for its own soldiers and then not do it for the people who were actually the targets of this mess to spring of defoliants is is simply

the most incredibly double standard behavior you can imagine and there's a lot more vietnamese who are suffering from agent orange than there are american veterans. about with updates on the top stories in just over half an hour's time i hope to see that. when we all make this manufacture consent instant to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round of lives only the one percent. we can all middle of the room signals. i mean real news is.

what politicians do. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to. have to go right to the press this is what before three of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of our. best suit. what is a bit coy and big coin is magic coming up in the new type of digital currency decentralized digital scarcity chancellor i'm bringing a second bailout for a bank that's called that got us a lot for a reason to coining it still hopes will be

can we even remember the events of a century ago and if so why is that we went out in search of people who view russia's nine hundred seventeen revolution as a global event. festival we went to visit a leftwing ideologist and famous french philosopher. so. maybe it's not supposed to know that your books focused on the bust of teeth. and the. difficult for me to address. the what is your idiot but jiko pretty cheeky feet as if to pose. yeah. your post ben clearly proved beyond a reasonable mon the loquat but a little present in a push should be doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo you know these two don't. need to preclude. elliot
