8:01 am
live from our international news center this is our t o one welcome to the program my name's union we begin with breaking news venezuela's self-proclaimed interim leader has called for a military saying the scribing into the final phase the government meanwhile says it is quote putting down a small coup attempt by army traitors who are working with right wing opponents who declared himself a leader in january after disputed elections was flanked by soldiers on a highway near the. base in the capital caracas also there was another prominent opposition figure leopoldo lopez who's been on the rest since. twenty
8:02 am
fourteen in a three minute video posted online why don't claim he is not getting military support. those today brave soldiers brave patriots brave people who are following our constitution and answering the cool today the armed forces are standing behind the people and the constitution. the government in caracas is calling people to stand with what it calls venice with those glorious armed forces are not to yield to provocation it's also accusing neighboring colombia of plotting the op rising one point those been courting support from the united states on a number of european nations since making his first move in january invoking the venice will and constitution he claimed president maduro all but stole the twenty eight thousand election to cling to power since then the merger of governments face pressure not least from the washington which it accuses of meddling in its affairs
8:03 am
and plotting a military intervention let's cross live now to political analyst chris bambery chris good to have you on the program so there we heard of one quite always calling for a military operating he seems to think he's got the military i'm not sure the majority or at least some of it on his side what do you think is change why has he come out all guns blazing this morning. while it see what he's gordie's doesn't seem to be a serious military coup under way in caracas or anywhere else i think what this shows is forced with the sort of color coded revolution by by the united states and the way it has succeeded you know who's popular mobilize ation has come and it seems to have gone and he seems to have let the dynamics slip and the damage here is very important if you want to call for an overthrow of the exist. presidents you
8:04 am
know the momentum and he's lost momentum the second place and what it shows and therefore i think is a hint of desperation about this the secular national is that really the crux of the matter the whole issue of venezuela is the loyalty of the army because the army is central to the maintenance of the existing with dual regime they are a lion the army that is a strength it's also weakness on the wrist and voted with differences within the army that has to be the case but the stars far it seems that the army has stayed with the do rule and it doesn't seem to be splintering with significant and crucial sections breaking away to back this back its attempt in the last hour just lazy is sorry i just want to talk with the international picture for a little bit because you know if there is going to be violent military means by glide zero two. zero zero do you think other countries will step in because we had before as you well know what fifty or so countries backing could he still kind in
8:05 am
their support if we're seeing dead bodies on the grond military fighting against each other a civil war in essence. well the interesting thing is the silence from washington paris london and madrid all over all this i mean just just imagine in. the cattle and president appeared in front of a bunch of armed soldiers announced he was launching a military opera seemed to break away from spain complete his styria in brussels and in madrid and people who didn't sing rightly this threat of violence will see any of this and more at the moment so i think firstly i think we have to proceed here is utterly amazing this man is basically say years as you see he wants to institute a civil war to overthrow the existing government he's back to the recognized as the president by the by the west the united states there were inquiries about this though the danger here is the reference to colombia is colombia one side of
8:06 am
venezuela no the new right wing government in brazil is creating a strategy of tension work both states and i think the americans will stand by it will want troops on the grown but bostitch who come in under the pretext of trying to you know we've heard this so often been peacemakers of trying to solve the situation if violence erupted and even greater scale and venezuela let me add to that chris because very interesting article on reuters over the last number of days reporting that the head of the notorious u.s. private security firm blackwater has been pushing to the ploy a private army and as you're saying your tongue but colombia he's talking about latin american soldiers really backing up this attempt to help overthrow material why is he winning in. well i mean obviously you can make money obviously the united states once the overthrow of the duro isn't particularly keen to intervene direct
8:07 am
way with its military and i think also what's the use of mercenaries is what you're talking about here is one post watcher i think also the reference to latin american troops lamp american recruits is interesting because what we've seen over the last five six years is a shift in latin america if you recall five six years ago all latin america was seen to be moving to the left that's been reversed you know to shift towards the rights in most extreme what case being in brazil so the americans must be quite confident that you know either they could get colombia brazil to intervene directly in certain circumstances or you could use those countries as a base ears for operations intervention into venezuela which is what the venezuelan government i've been seeing is happening in colombia in particular. to expand on that area saying they're christian venezuela's foreign ministry is accusing directly colombia of being behind attempt would caracas mix such accusations with.
8:08 am
evidence and theoretically i put it to you what would other latin american nations stand to gain from the european topple. i think other one american missions are probably quite nervous about the whole situation nervous as well when their own populations would see this as american even sunderland. and it's not the americans directly intervened in see the americans being behind this and the legacy of what america has done across latin america but come back to colombia when the enmity beating caracas. is very deep and you know there colombians accuse the shabby stirs of a lot of help in the far careers in the war which is now come to an end converse way as well venezuela have consistently said that right wing sections of which exist right wing seats in the military form of the tree have been intervening into into venezuela so there is absolutely no love was here and i were thought you know there is some truth behind the smoke of this that you know colombia is involved it
8:09 am
would like to see the overthrow absolutely of madeira so it's it's a crucial hour of united states here in this push to overthrow. and reverse of the revolution just summing up chris before we go what is driving this conference by one quite zero to make this move. was out in there's a hint of desperation that in turn away in venezuela his attempts to stage a color coded revolution has not succeeded so he's reduced to trying to instigate a military coup but secondly i think it's always been the case that in washington. and its satellites in latin america there have always thought that the best way to overthrow material is to try and win over a section of the military to launch a push to overthrow it so mean they've always been looking at as i say what the crucial institution of the venezuelan state which is the military it is in most states but in this country i mean iniquitous of venezuela the military is absolutely central to how that country functions it's not just the military force
8:10 am
it's been a crucial social force and it's been crucial to the success of shove a. and it is excessive would do so if they could break or for the key component of the venezuelan majority that would strike a real would get into that which must be ambition of washington a must be an ambition of. chris thanks for coming the program reacting to our breaking news today chris palmer a political analyst live on the program. all right moving on for a nod a u.s. army veteran has been arrested and charged in california over an alleged bomb plot according to the justice department the twenty six year old was planning it must occur on christians and jews here killing often with well you know. federal officials have raised an indictment for an individual who has just arrested named mark stephen domingo now this is a u.s. army veteran who served in afghanistan is now charged with attempting to carry out a large scale terrorist attack as revenge for the incidents in new zealand the
8:11 am
shootings in new zealand at the mosques that killed a number of individuals that apparently motivated mark steven domingo to plan to carry out a terrorist attack in los angeles and take the lives of scores possibly hundreds of individuals here is some of what the indictment says in online posts and in conversations with an f.b.i. source to express support for violent jihad a desire to seek retribution for attacks against muslims and their willingness to become a martyr according to the affidavit following an attack on a mosque in new zealand a march thirteenth domingo posted that must be retribution now the f.b.i. says it used confidential human sources to acquire information about domingo essentially began when he was posting on internet forums calling for revenge and retribution for the new zealand attacks and from what i understand federal officials first began talking with him on the internet then they set up in person meetings in those meetings he expressed a desire to attack
8:12 am
a rally that was set to take place in california he purchased. hundreds of nails and these nails were apparently to be used in an improvised explosive device they were to be shrapnel that would then be detonated and kill everyone in attendance if possible now from what we understand he is now in the hands of federal officials and he will soon be appearing in federal court to face charges for planning this large scale terrorist attack now people are looking at these incidents the shooting in christ church in new zealand the recent incidents at synagogues across the united states the attacks have taken place in churches and noticing a disturbing trend where places of worship seem to be targeted by those intending to carry out terrorist attacks and acts of religiously motivated violence so we'll be waiting to see what happens next as the individual mark steven domingo twenty six years old u.s. army veteran is set to face these charges after being apprehended. yes something else we know domingo is alleged to have said he would swear allegiance to weisel if
8:13 am
the group were in the united states it comes amid growing international fears about planned i saw terror and we've got lots of reaction this lots of different reaction one voice was from brian terrible indeed from the voices for creative nonviolence he's of the view these threats are inevitable i come of u.s. military activity abroad. this is. most likely a posttraumatic stress of the. of this war and also it's the training that. that he received a report came out that the united states and its afghan allies are killing more people than the taliban it shouldn't be a surprise it's that. he is acting as he was trained you know to lose the horror of this of these wars can't be kept at arm's length it can't be kept in south asia
8:14 am
can't be kept in in the middle east we will be suffering here in this country the facts of training people to kill and putting them in situations that are absolutely in human. living on a russian student who attempted to join islamic state in syria has spoken to r.t. shedding light on her motivation and the consequences of her actions she's been released on parole after more than two years in prison and is now giving some cautionary advice to anyone who seeks to follow in her footsteps. because. i want to show myself not as i was probably a regional issue but as i really am that my story was a peculiar lesson not given all about isis but about just simple relationships with my family with people this is my deeply personal story the story of my family i want to tell and show. people myself and not be afraid of me i just think that what
8:15 am
happened to me was also related to my low self esteem and certainty in myself and it turns out that women hold on to their husbands and go there they hold onto them so much that they may not even understand their ideology they do not understand why to go there their husbands say so no discussion and is very important to believe in yourself your words mean something if he says you have to go so what who cares what he says and i thought a lot at that moment about what was happening and why it was happening actually very difficult thoughts they go round and round and round sometimes it takes you to the point of depression because you can't get out of this g.h. and you don't want to think about it you want to turn away and run but it is still there and i understand that i can't leave this story behind me it will always be part of me we're back in ninety seconds and counting.
8:16 am
you should. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want to. have to be right to be close this is what the book for three of the four can't be good. interested always at the water's edge. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic to follow only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.
8:17 am
seventeen minutes into the program welcome back government has bombed all types of face covering in public as a security measure it's in response to the easter sunday terror attack which took the lives of over two hundred fifty people the move is under the country's sizable muslim community who say it's targeting women wearing islamic fields here all marty we discussed whether it's a prudent move or risk further inflaming religious hostility in the region. let's get real you know over two hundred fifty people have been massacred in sri lanka and the i fully support the sri lankan president for this temporary security
8:18 am
measure i imagine a scenario where the security forces people who are covered up and then could say that would you know who they where their identities are not clear to us so that kind of allows for the muslims to move freely across the society if those women had their faces shaded by a head covering then clearly a c.c.t.v. image would show nothing so there is a logic to this if you follow me you know it's just it's just be explicitly enabling security services ted don't have i end of the jewels in the act of or planning to carry out massacres in this instance of hundreds of christian people christian people so i think it's reasonable why not support it as the head of human rights watch has only argued it is a needless restriction what you do was this sort of creates a sense of helplessness among the muslims they might feel that one by one
8:19 am
our rights have been taken away fundamental rights it's been supported by the largest muslim group insure like it so where is the argument muslim supported sure like and supported i supported who wouldn't support it but then we also talking about the individual rights the rights of women to follow their specific religious obligations and where does it stop who is going to be. compromised by the very act of trying to make sure that security services can check the visibility of those people who could potentially be able to carry out a terrorist incident but see reason for doing that there could be the islamic hard line conservative argument but having said that the state has the responses. realty of looking after the interests of the masses on the basis of that it can take these messages but this should not become a long term because if it does lead to give isn't between sri lanka's
8:20 am
multireligious religious fabric so it is not indicative of islamophobia across the international system this was an attack by radical muslims or christians it slaughtered them in their hundreds and you're talking about islamophobia c'mon this is nothing to do with islam phobia this was christian a phobia not all muslims are terrorists i absolutely agree with this one but on this occasion all the terrorists were muslims you deal with it. after a year in the financial wilderness saudi arabia has been assured back into the fold some of the world's biggest firms give riyadh their seal of approval last week an investment forum there last year they boycotted the similar gathering over the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi our senior correspondent murat guest if reports. the smell of money can be intoxicated or even a year since the gruesome murder of washington post journalist jamal has shoji and
8:21 am
the worldwide condemnation over a saudi official suspected role in it but it seems enough money can sway anything throughout last week who's who of the financial elite hunkered down together at a saudi financial summit i find it's a very important interesting place for us to build a relationship the transformation of the region has been quite amazing the list of speakers and those in attendance was impressive top dogs from banks including h.s.b.c. morgan stanley j.p. morgan chase. former e.u. prime ministers the vi p. real deal now juxtapose that with the conference the saudis held in october dubbed davos in the desert at was talk sic c.e.o.'s investors made their excuses
8:22 am
left and right and center but not for long because the u. resistible smell of money soon returned the factors issues in the press does not tell me i must run away from a place ironic given that he said that at the ritz hotel in riyadh where eighteen months ago dozens of saudi dissidents and royal rivals detained apparently tortured and forced to give up billions of dollars to the king so who cares if an outspoken journalist was butchered and dissolved in acid who cares if saudi arabia just executed thirty seven men reportedly for political reasons crucifying one of them those saudi billions could be just the thing to make america great again. saudi arabia very rich country we defend them. when.
8:23 am
they have nothing but cash. you know here people wanting to cut off saudi arabia they've bought four hundred and fifty billion dollars i don't want to lose them i call the game i like the king. i said king. we're losing our defending king and you have a lot of money. the it's bad for business is bad for everyone so perhaps goes without saying that with some things it's best to forget like murder torture mass executions and depression i mean put yourself in the very very expensive shoes the c.e.o. of investment firm black rock manages more than six trillion dollars in assets trillion for reference the u.s. government budget for next year is just under five trillion talking about trillions
8:24 am
of dollars human rights and well just people generally become a little less important that's not to say the c.e.o. of blackrock is a bad guy now mr fink was recognized last november by the crisis response group the international rescue committee for his spirit and passion for humanitarian causes real people guy charity and all that said the smell of money of trillions does crazy things to you so no you can go on boycotting and criticizing saudi arabia but the guys with the money hold the strings they're interested it's business as usual. ok we're going to go to peru. shortly but first a reminder of our breaking news from venice we left where a self-proclaimed interim leader one wind chill has called for
8:25 am
a military all pricing the official government meanwhile has branded a traitor and said it's no quote putting down a small tent which it seems was plotted by neighboring colombia we will have more coverage on reaction the coming hours here on r t. next in the program though a hard hitting look at black america fifty years on from the end of segregation or documentary dead long starts in the woods. tees holiday to the international memorial awards twenty nineteen are now open for entries the media professionals are eligible whether you are a freelance journalist work for all terms of media or part of a global news conference to participate in sunday's show published works in video rich. go to award dot altie don't call them to now.
