of the party that leads he is seen as one of the key figures behind why doe's move to claim the presidency lopez was sentenced to thirteen years in prison back in two thousand and fifteen for inciting public unrest but on tuesday he was reportedly freed from house arrest by his guards of his comes amid mass unrest in the country after one called for a military uprising in venezuela describing it as the final phase and now top officials in the usa he has their full support. i'm monitoring the situation in venezuela very closely the united states stands with the people of venezuela and their freedom as thomas call a status where with you america will stand with you until freedom and democracy are restored by and can do yes today the interim president who would do announce start of a person. the government foolish supports the venezuelan people who in their quest

for freedom and democracy democracy cannot be defeated. almost immediately after one white house call clashes broke out on the guarded bridge near the capital caracas local journalist morris out of god is in the midst of the unrest. that. people right here. when. he should be there is a. military lawyer. people. like him are even here. today brave soldiers brave patriots brave people who are following our constitution i'm sure in the cool today the armed forces are standing behind the people and the constitution.

if you like. the best. part. local health service is now put the v. number of injured out of seventy one from tuesday's rallies in venezuela earlier my colleague calling bray spoke to artie's brag about the latest developments in the country. i dare say there will be casualties there we don't have any concrete figures yet we had. the opposition backers of one why do the self-proclaimed president of israel. shooting at security forces we saw security forces prove mcdougall military members police driving vehicles into protesters threw things and things a very ugly and it seems both sides are culpable here you know no innocents but things have calmed down a little bit after the opposition tried to storm a military base they were beaten back we shouldn't machete wielding opposition

demonstrators charged down the fence we saw. army soldiers shooting in the air thousands of promo doodle demonstrators showing their loyalty to the government showing their backing to the current government of venezuela for a bigger effect for a few more military units to defect to join his cause unfortunately for him we haven't heard of any other units any of the troops. joining his cause the minister of defense of venezuela has said that the army remains loyal to. and that these defectors will be arrested. cowards stand firm in defense of the constitutional order and peace of the republic assisted by the law reason and history always loyal never traitor. speaking he

was from abroad whose good meetings were was international well and international reaction has been pouring in led by the united states which reacted literally within an hour of. those call for an uprising saying that they fully back him on the other hand we've had mexico for example staying out of it none of their business we've had turkey the president of turkey at the un coming out very strongly condemning foreign meddling intervention and that is really saying that it's the venezuelan people that bus the side who leads them the united states who has threatened venezuela threatened with. military action presumably john bolton said that if that is really the forty's use force to crack down on these demonstrators he reminded them that the united states still you know has all its options on the table so the military one as well is also ironically enough

called for other countries to stop interfering in lots happening in that is we need menace will ruled by the people of venezuela not by extra little forces now that very strange coming from the united states government which is the first to recognize one why do as the president of venezuela he sanctioned it is frozen billions upon billions of venezuelan government money to sanction state companies that has left the government and the able to pay to pay people to provide assistance to provide medical care and it has promised to keep ramping up that pressure until they get what they want which is from a duel to leave and. to become the official president of venezuela so you know mixed messages certainly from the united states. protesters have

surrounded the venezuelan embassy in washington d.c. blaming the u.s. for the ongoing crisis the embassy staff left the building last week after u.s. imposed an after u.s. imposed deadline passed and activists say they have blockaded the embassy to prevent new program staff from entering we heard from one of the activists inside the compound. but we are here twenty four seven living in here sleeping here working here from the day during the day in order to maintain our presence here in the building and as a interim protective president intil be billet the government of venezuela can find another protector for this building or intil the truck to distribution stops trying to orchestrate this could do so what this is about the u.s. government this is about known to us imperialism saying no to us intervention in the affairs of other countries saying that the us has no right to overthrow the

government of another country we've seen it before and we are not going to tolerate it again. maria buton of the russian national jailed in the u.s. for working as an unregistered foreign agent has been answering reporters' questions by phone. i did not expect a the sentence to be this harsh for not registering as a foreign agent i got the same sentence as the person who's sold secret information to the chinese government it was the same sentence eighteen months i think it's absurd it was maria's first abrogating to view since her arrest in july last year she was uncertain question via telephone from a detention facility in the us where she is now being held uncertain questioning as handed to her in advance by different news outlets including r t the first one was

the most over this one why at all maria pleaded guilty instead of insisting on her being innocent and as you remember last friday she was sentenced to eighteen months in jail for failing to register as a foreign agent off the she had pleaded guilty in december and she explained today that it was a commonsense choice between two evils since i accepted the deal while the maximum sentence would have been five years otherwise it could have been as much as fifteen so i think any sensible person would have done the same thing but there was also a question about the connection between me. and the molar team this is a group of special investigators investigating russia's alleged meddling in the us elections of two thousand and sixteen of the name of the team was mentioned by the federal judge to sentence maria to eighteen months in jail and the question was how

was the ria connected to their investigation and here's her on people from the miller's team talked to me for five minutes total and as everyone knows i was not mentioned in this report in any way. a there is no relation between my case and this report the whole questioning took five minutes total the closer folders and never called back and never came back there were several questions about challenges mary has been facing in a prison emotional intellectual physical psychological and that she had tried and actually had managed to invest the time and attention facilities to educate her spending time the libraries reading and learning but she said that the main goal was to keep her safe and to save her mind i made every minute count so i had

this little sheet of paper with my schedule so i put my socks on and it's this is the only way not to go crazy is to get busy i exercise for an hour and a half pull ups and whatever you could do in a small so reading of course. marie you're already served nine months out of her eighteen month sentence and there was a question about what she's going to do when she's finally freed and she said she hopes that once she is released she will be immediately deported to russia and she's right now thinking about a teacher and career. father was listening to the q. and a session and shared some thoughts on his daughter's case with us. the loss for us for our family and i have no doubt for her colleagues and friends too it's hard to come to terms with this prison sentence which in our opinion is unjust

considering the conditions she's been kept in for the past nine months she has already endured enough as her lawyer said such a harsh punishment for the offense she's been accused of could only have been given to russian national so our family in the russian state take the view that all this has to do with the anti russian sentiment that has arisen in the us recently she spent a long periods in solitary confinement i'm glad she is so resilient because judging by the conversations i've had with her plenty of inmates struggle to cope psychologically in solitary confinement some even bang their heads against the wall being kept in solitary confinement for a month and she was kept for longer than that is very tough. cambridge university in the u.k. has launched a two year in corrie and the eight hundred year old institution benefited from slavery during the colonial era it is only right that can bridge should look into its own exposure to the profits of course the way but during the colonial period we

cannot change the past but nor suit to seek to hide from it. cambridge university is not the only institution looking into its imperial past other prestigious universities in the u.k. and u.s. have done the same in recent years facing up to their past and the potential gains that they made cambridge's rival oxford faced a long dispute over a controversial statute of one thousand nine hundred. colonialist but claimed it would have faced severe financial cuts had it removed the monument the university of east london tried to set up a one hundred million pound fund for reparations over slavery saying the money should be put aside to support ethnic minority students and in america harvard has removed master from its academic titles and georgetown students voted in favor of reparations for the descendants of nearly three hundred slaves sold by the university in the nineteenth century we heard some opposing views earlier on

whether paying out reparations now is the right way to atone for crimes of the distant past. these decisions are very much long overdue and one would have thought that a country such as britain coming to terms with his colonial past would have made this these sorts of efforts much earlier but nevertheless i do applaud. cambridge. go for taking this initiative and i think other institutions like the british museum the british library all of the colonial there are. in britain as a consequence of colonial plunder should now be in an act silva reparation return today countries of origins look no one can argue that slavery was a good thing it was an horrendous thing. course we should learn and teach our kids

and educate ourselves indeed about the horrors of slavery let's just remind ourselves though there we were the first to abolish it i don't think there's any nation in the world that has a nod to being enslaved or being involved in the slavery trade including the continent of course of africa itself but i think this idea of paying reparations is ludicrous please spare me the horse a shirt this wasn't me or my generation or did it did this we do need education people need to be aware of it but who would you give the money to africans living in this country africans in africa we're talking about four hundred years of slavery we're talking about are people robbed of their religion their language their culture and their familial resources taken up dropped in another island surrender treated what he was horrendous for hundred for four hundred years he saw western interest in this he saw all resit in history is impressive lead in modern

times so if you see that europeans were involved so president like arnold nations like ghana of already sell their. peroration schemes gambia the same way sierra leone all of those of had reparation an apology schemes for last twenty five thirty years so britain is really just catch you know up i understand what slavery was and it was horrendous what i'm saying is we're now yes lot but yeah make sure we educate make sure nothing like that can happen again but for you to come up with a scale of slavery african slavery was bad that bracelet a very it's kind of stupid it's kind of silly cambridge university of the asli looking into the history and if they want to necessarily having gone and i'm not being very well making yourself look absolutely silly cambridge university should be congratulated for looking back at what they do but there's no need for the whole say should there's no need for us to be paying money to some black people which

black people would be would it be supporters of us presidential hopeful bernie sanders are saying that they could vote for donald trump unless their men secures the democratic nomination that story much more after this short break stay with us . you know world big partisan movies lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the

hawks. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to confront cation let it be an arms race in his own spearing dramatic to follow the only silly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. and. welcome back this is our team international now supporters of us presidential hopeful bernie sanders have launched an online campaign for him to be the democratic nominee in the two thousand and twenty election they warn of that

otherwise they will vote for donald trump parties kill him up and as the story. on the surface donald trump and bernie sanders seem like chalk and cheese polar opposites although trump has got to be defeated donald trump is a pup a logical lawyer really embarrassed his loss every single day crazy bernie he's crazy is a bed bug but you know he doesn't quit crazy bernie i tell you i got to hand it to bertie sold out to the devil so here's a shock for you donald trump is genuinely concerned about bernie sanders especially his nomination by the democrats in two thousand and twenty the democratic national committee sometimes referred to as the d.n.c. is again working its magic in its quest to destroy crazy bernie saunders for the more traditional but not very bright sleepy joe biden here we go again but this time please show a little more anger and indignation when you get trump has good reason to be

concerned back in two thousand and sixteen twelve percent of bernie sanders supporters turned against hillary clinton and they ended up voting for donald trump donald trump wouldn't be sitting in the oval office without them and new polls show that history could repeat itself twenty six percent of bernie sanders supporters would not vote for elizabeth warren in the final election despite the fact that she has similar policies to her democratic rival and this growing overlap between trump and burning supporters seems to be a growing phenomena i'm seventy eight and have been waiting for bernie oh my life if it's not burning my vote goes to trump out of pure spite now i can believe that i have some trump voting friends who always said that if trump wasn't running they'd vote for bonus sound as easily they have a lot of voter overlap even another democratic candidate in the race brought it up it just kind of turns you against the system in general and then you're more likely to want to vote for the system which could lead to somebody like bernie could lead

to something like we've been finding out of people here in new york have noticed this trend i'm sure a lot of people are. fed up with our current dysfunctional government people are fed up with their traditional politics over the last twenty thirty years just think because he's an outsider and he's against the system and he was like the year he was treated very badly during the two two thousand and sixteen election politics in the united states is taking an interesting turn seems that now a days voters are less concerned about what you stand for and what you represent as a candidate but rather about how loudly you speak out against an establishment with many detractors kaleb mop and r.t. new york. asteroid mining set to become the next frontier in the aerospace market as countries like the u.s. japan and china invest millions of dollars in the search for rock minerals and precious metals and now it seems germany is joining the mission to reach previously untapped resources several years ago the us it became one of the first nations to

begin encouraging private companies to invest in space mining if successful it could shock the markets back on earth for gold silver and platinum the small but wealthy e.u. state of luxembourg saw potential in the extraterrestrial project investing twenty eight million dollars in a u.s. firm and berlin is now rolling back some of its legislation to attract companies to fund explorations we heard from the founder of one of the mining corporations who says that the sky is not the limit. when you talk that kind of this late me aren't a lot of book. about six knots not stopping one germany's protect what interest is not things that mating because obviously space meaning is an energy market so our main competition undercut and then just like he senses planted explosives where the only needing to see twenty teams but they were moving into the

they say to their companies we you know we give you certain rights or we listen your liabilities if something happens in our space that affects other satellites or other countries then that logic doesn't really apply there really is no sustain. the u.s. has been accused of manipulating travel procedures in order to hinder russia's participation in the united nations the russian foreign ministry made that claim after washington refused to issue a visa to the head of a russian delegation on disarmament russian scientific expert was due to attend a briefing on the use of chemical weapons in syria united nations says that they are looking into the issue and he's going to do you know culture has more. the reason behind such a harsh statement coming from russia's foreign ministry is the fact that they had a fresh as defense ministry research institute meet the brooklyn ski was denied a u.s. visa now he was supposed to travel to new york and there at ten and

a un security council session he was do you to brief the council on russia's account of a suspected poison gas attack in syria now the ministry added that the u.s. authorities were obviously seeking not to allow objective information about what happened in syria to be heard at the u.n. and as it turns out such situations are becoming quite common now the. opposite follows quite a similar visa denial to the had of the russian delegation of a un desire moment commission in march at the ministry now believes that the us site repeated the tries to prevent true information from spreading by preventing a prominent chemical expert from going to new york the us government was clearly trying to prevent objective information on the incident from being told from the un tribune grown blissfully putting the blame for it on the syrian authorities washington doesn't want the international community to understand that last year's

american aggression against syria was carried out under a febreze it it predicts the attack on the city of duma which is located very close to the capital damascus took place in april twenty eighth scene and right after that so u.k. u.s. and france launched more than one hundred missiles against what they say were syrian chemical weapons facilities and now last month inspectors from the organization for the prosecution of chemical weapons said that a toxic chemical that was used in the attack was a likely chlorine syria rejects all of these findings and the russian military also . sad that it has found no trace of chemical weapons used when they inspected parts of the city and at the same time the u.s. has been blaming repeatedly the syrian government for being behind the attack now r.t. has requested an official comment from the u.s. state department on this developing story but we haven't heard any response as of
