i use this is. the. but israel is opposition leader one why dog calls for another day of anti-government protests heavy clashes were reported on the outskirts of the country's capital caracas tuesday while president nicolas maduro says the government has quashed the coup attempt. some are calling a new cold war meantime the u.k. government looks to make the house of lords declare all business ties with russia and china saying it's just about making politics more transparent. russian national jailed in the u.s. for working as an unregistered foreign agent has been fielding reporters' questions for the first time since the arrest explained how she was briefly quizzed by the investigation and how she coped with solitary confinement.

good morning eight am here in moscow this wednesday may be the first time kevin zero in half an hour of those stories coming in more detail than first calling for a final phase venezuela's self declared interim president is calling for another day today of anti-government protests after initiating a so-called military uprising in the country's capital the opposition leader has the full support of america once again with the u.s. secretary of state my pompei or even suggesting venezuelan president nicolas maduro was ready to flee the country but was stopped by russia. literally. getting prepared to go mr pointed out of the country before the start stop really at the direction of the russian he had an airplane on the tarmac he was ready to leave this morning as we understand it the russians indicated he should stay we know that

there were senior leaders inside the madeira government that were prepared to leave however that site was branded as fake news by the country's foreign ministry while president durham selve said he dedicated to venezuelans and has no intention of leaving russia's also saying washington is launched to disinform ation campaign so the massive clashes we saw yesterday sweeping the country choose day with unrest breaking out on one guarded bridge near the venezuelan capital caracas gunshots were fired into a glass to deployed as protesters threw rocks at the authorities local health services say more than fifty people were injured. president would do was launched a probe into what he calls an illegal coup attempt just a word of warning next the following which is disturbing. was. i. was i was.

like. when plato. people. today brave soldiers brave patriots brave people who are following our constitution i'm sure i'll call you today the armed forces are standing behind and the constitution. or your. current economic world nicolas maduro said several people are already being questioned he singled out the ringleader of the uprising prominent opposition figure leopoldo lopez he's no claim to solomon the spanish embassy in caracas lopez

is the founder of the valan todd party the part of the glider leads he is seen as one of the key figures behind why does move to claim the presidency to thirteen years in prison back in twenty fifteen for inciting public unrest back on choose day he was reportedly freed from house arrest by his guards meantime the united states has banned its airline companies from flying over venezuela because of political instability is part of a string of sanctions imposed by the latin american country recently a senior correspondent were galatea flips what washington really means when it says it stands with the venezuelan people. what a day why do so brazen attempted coup the violence on both sides the people even why do hanging and especially strange was what the united states had to say about it we need venezuela ruled by the people of venezuela not by extra

forces do you think he may have missed the irony this the bolton who's done his damnedest to ensure regime change in venezuela whose country has championed regime change sanctioned venezuela frozen billions in state funds threatened it with invasion now he's saying no one should meddle that it's up to the days whelan's to decide course not what he meant is no one but america all options remain on the table and would be a big mistake for me dora and those supporting him to use force against innocent civilians mr bolton's deficient of innocent i think defers from the classic meaning look at these demonstrators with guns shooting at troops and police i suppose the bullets of full of love to if you dare hold these innocents accountable says mr

bolton we might invade between the lines as thomas call a status where with you america will stand with you until freedom and democracy are restored by and can do yes. the venezuelan armed forces must protect the constitution and the venezuelan people it's a stand by the national assembly and illegitimate institutions against the use of haitian of democracy the united states stands with the people of venezuela what do you know they stand with the people never mind the sanctions and the misery for millions that they've caused a question is which people exactly did you say you stand with the few hundred machete gun wielding fellows that tried to stage a violent coup or the thousands upon thousands who concurrently marched in support of the venezuelan president maduro against this coup this is clearly not

a coup we recognize one goh i don't know as the legitimate interim president of venezuela and just as it's not a coup one the president of the united states gives an order to the department of defense it's not a coup for wind why don't you try and take command of the venezuelan military your own father mr bolton one by do who was never elected doesn't control the military or ministries or anything he is the president but nicolas maduro the actual president supported by millions the military the ministries he's not the president see what i mean by strange it's almost like the bitter and banal things didn't go according to plan it's just rolled the united states in the venezuelan conflict outcasts. i think other one american militias are probably quite nervous about the whole situation nervous as well with their own populations

would see this as american even if it's under the you know. it's not the americans directly intervene don't see the americans being behind this and the legacy of what america has done across latin america what this shows each. time service or cold call good revolution where the united states and the west hasn't succeeded you know he's quite well why zeeshan has come and it seems to have gone. he seems have let the dynamics slip a little i'm here is very important if you want to call for an overthrow of the existing presidents you know the momentum and he's lost momentum american are working on a very much on the front foot here they've got. bolton trump a lot of very hawkish neo conservatives out playing front and center and talking the talk of a smooth transition of power now we hope that this does not result in the loss of lives but there were some footage earlier on social media showing some armored

vehicles running running over the horrific pictures running over protesters in the streets now we don't know whether these are. i don't foresee if we don't know which side those. those protesters are demonstrators around so we have to handle stuff very carefully but there is already bloodshed there's already violence in the streets and i think this is going to be a really really difficult time. until you can sentiments for the washington protest this is a running event as one of the embassy in the capital blaming the u.s. for the ongoing crisis embassy staff left the building last week complying with the u.s. imposed deadline the activists say that blocking the consulate to prevent new program stuff from entering we heard from one of the protest and. 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 instilled a billet government of venezuela can find another protector for this building or

intil the tragic history she stops trying to orchestrate this clue 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 these poor and we are not going to tolerate it. seems no money's good money at least not leave the government's pushing for change in the house of lords which would force peers to declare whether or not they're in business with russia or china says it's part of a bid to make the political system more transparent as polly boyko reports this morning. what's more dangerous than dirty money red money from russia there are fears it could be flooding britain's upper house of parliament the house of lords the sunday times newspaper has done some digging it's published

a list of what it calls moscow's men the lords benefiting from russian rubles. just like employees the lords have to declare their business interests and official register but unlike their colleagues in the lower house they don't have to say how much those business interests have them although the government is said to be thinking about changing that security minister ben wallace has warned that parliamentary rules need to be changed for the sake of greater transparency in countries this seek to undermine the west target vulnerabilities in the politics and media the u.k. has a strong mainstream media that gives us better resilience the most but i'm certain that one of our we points is where we like transparency in our political system now a group of british politicians is pushing for a new law to counter foreign influence. britain needs

a foreign agents registration act we need to know the individuals and companies that lobby or act politically on behalf of other countries and their proxies including those in international sanctions lists we need a publicly available list of p.r. agencies reputation management firms and others who do this work nice to include m.p.'s and members of the house of lords some of whom have links to russian businesses the house of lords is an ancient and uniquely british institution the peers in there are an elected they've been selected by their political parties sometimes they blog controversial or unpopular bills drafted and signed off on by the government and m.p.'s many of at a loss to risk careers and they tend to say what they think r.t. contacted the lords singled out by the sunday times for their response to

allegations that the moscow's men. if you say someone is moscow you're really insinuating that they're almost a paid. paid. lobbyist for four for the russian government which is. a completely untrue and deeply offensive lord truscott was similarly unimpressed i do not intend on wasting my time doing interviews on stories i regard as total rubbish by the tarnished murdoch press which if it can't find a story makes it up the times in the sunday times never let facts get in the way of trying somewhat desperately to push their respective circulations with a dose of hysterical russian phobia but it looks like the government is determined to root out the bad or should it be read seeds from the british political

field. because more is art international with me kevin zero in next story 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 the first time since her arrest. in years. or so i didn't expect the sentence to be so harsh not having registered as a foreign agent i got the same eighteen month sentence as a passenger. data to the chinese government i think that's absurd. you gotta quit your good you think i was confined to my cell which is very hard from a psychological viewpoint i made every minute count so i had a sheet of paper to write down my schedule and tasks the only way not going crazy in prison is to keep yourself busy all the time. i love it i mean i accepted the plea bargain because it came with a maximum sentence of five years otherwise it could been fifteen years i think any

sensible person would have done the same. but i'm not irish you're not really ready robert mueller as team talk to me for about five minutes in total as everyone knows i wasn't mentioned in his report which has no relationship to my case. rushing in that i don't know what will i do after i return to russia time will tell you i think i work in teaching which. robert and his father was listening to a q. and a session and shared some thoughts of his own or his daughter's case. no 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 but she has already endured enough if it wasn't for the agreement with her lawyers and the debt for their services maria could probably have gone home by now she can't just leave

the us without paying and it shouldn't be that way in the meanwhile the amount of the debt is constantly growing as the lawyers continue their work but i can't say for sure what sum of money will have to pay in the end as her lawyer said such a harsh punishment for the offense she's been accused of could only have been given to a 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 spend long periods in solitary confinement and 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 banging their heads against the wall being kept in solitary confinement for a month and she was kept for longer than that is very tough with you a lot more stories ahead after the break we're talking weaponize gossip no less a lot of mileage and i'll check it out how people around the world celebrating mayday this may the first.

we have no political agenda here we just if it if it costs more to get out you get when you get it out that's a loss it's a minus sign that's it you can't figure that out you think there's a political agenda. you're blinded by. you know world of big. lot and conspiracy it's time. to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the

truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. again good morning to international cambridge university in the u.k. has launched an inquiry into how the eight hundred year old institution benefited from slavery jim in the colonial era. it is only right that cambridge should look into its own exposure to the prophets of curse the way but during the colonial period we cannot change the past but nor should to seek to hide from it cambridge university is not the only institution looking into its imperial past either other prestigious universities across the u.k. and u.s.

men doing the same for years facing up to their history and the potential gains they're made back then cambridge is main rival oxford faced a long dispute over a controversial statue of a nineteenth century colonias but claimed it would have faced severe financial cuts had it had to remove the monument meantime the university of east london tried to set up a one hundred million pound fund for reparations over slavery send the money should be put aside to support ethnic minority students of america harvard to remove the word 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 almost two centuries ago we had opposing views on how actions in the distant past should be tackled today. 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 and glasgow for taking this initiative and i think other institutions like the british museum the british library all of the colonial artifacts that there are. in britain as a consequence of colonial plunder should now be in an act of our reparation returned to their 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 that. though 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 pay 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 the familial resources taken up dropped in another either surrender treated what he was horrendous for hundred for four hundred years he saw what i said in prisons he saw president in history is impressive lead in modern times so if you say that europeans were involved so president as allies are most nations like gonna of already sell their reparations schemes gambia the same way sierra leone all of those of had reparation an apology schemes the last twenty five thirty years so britain is really just catching 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 ever happen again but for you to come up with a scale of slavery or african slavery was bad that bracelet a very it's kind of stupid it's silly cambridge university the asli looking into their history and if they want to necessarily having gone and not being very polite or 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 says sure there's no need for us to be paying money to some black people which black people would be would it be please don't do me. the dishonor of coming on here and speaking from some morally elevated position that doesn't exist. the washington post is warning american journalist to act responsibly with information leaks after the tories are using this kind of source themselves as caleb maupin explains why so-called weaponized gossip and anonymous sources in the

affiliate news these days. with the twenty twenty presidential elections set to start dominating our headlines pretty soon the media is running crisis protocols in case wiki leaks gets back up to its old tricks so should sensitive or insider information be published what if it has an impact on the vote well the washington post has you covered ensure it don't publish weaponized gossip there if i remember the psni down number saw is the source of the hack and it's not to mention and be transparent with news consumers don't publish things before verifying them double check your sources that sounds like pretty standard journalism but apparently in the age of trump that is not common sense among the press corps anonymous sources seem to be a big trend when it comes to inside scoops about the white house anonymous sources reportedly from the mother team an anonymous source telling n.b.c. sports the new york times citing anonymous sources the again these are all anonymous sources it's important to note that n.b.c. news has not confirmed this is

a washington post report cites anonymous sources and some of this information has been almost the definition of weaponized gossip let's review some of the reporting about u.s. president donald trump that president trump called attorney general jeff sessions mentally retarded ape was a trump using the n. word and a much lighter note this even though some white trump demands a two scoops of ice cream while everyone else at the table only gets one now some of this information actually turned out to be blatantly false so why was it ok to publish it without verifying it well apparently the source was someone inside the u.s. government not wiki leaks so fact check your independent sources but not anonymous figures within the u.s. government. maybe there's another idea out there remember it's illegal to possess these stolen documents it's different for the media server that you learn about this you're learning from us it may be time to start thinking you know sort of the books about how we can prevent russia from meddling in our elections in that vein

consider this admittedly radical idea. american journalists should take a pledge to not report on the contents of a hock and social media site should remove from the networks any news stories discussing how material how the job of a journalist is to dig into facts ask bold questions and try to determine the truth that made us see if also it however for some in the american press the rule seems to be don't dig into facts that are inconvenient of course journalists should be careful and check their sources but that's not what the washington post is talking about or what many journalists confiding to the post are considering doing what they're doing is talking about the examining the motivations behind the source and then considering maybe not even publishing factual information if the source and their motivation are considered not just shady but contravening american national security imperative in the washington post relies routinely on unnamed sources and specifically unnamed u.s.

officials when it's all unnamed sources and their us officials we as the readers of the news consumers or as citizens are supposed to put our blind faith in us officialdom in the u.s. government in order to believe that those sources are correct and i think most of the public does not trust their government to six past eight mosco time this wednesday pretty pictures show you know when this bulletin why not this may be the first pick just all to come in from around the world know the very different ways people are celebrating measures taken good to get a big holiday for a lot of these people colorful pictures of law even from the philippines this bring them full screen should we go in the gallery the people about a look at this now what do we go of the is the drug it is of the devil so i think oh big teeth could it be the philippine president rodrigo to take not very flattering with those teeth certainly a lot of people out on the streets that we can have more pictures coming in throughout the day of course showing you how people are so brave to this day some say it's a day of work as some say it's simply

a day of spring this. sun coming up in some parts of the world the flowers start to grow again these are live pictures of people on the street from manila manila. for the heat this may be what you are doing today have a great day and thanks for watching off the international. they can come and blow our brains out at any given time if we can't really do anything actually america is the only country in the world where you can kill people. wore it legally get away with. all the fire crawls stillbirth all the trouble here's the point it's hollow flying to k.k.k. what exists because america wants it to exist they have the biggest terrorist group

to ever operate in this country and they're dead to me they're worse all the people who destroyed the world trade centers of the scroll why. what is it going to coin is magic internet the new type of digital currency essential lies digital scarcity chancellor i'm bringing a second for a bank that's called the genesis blog for reason to call me a civil disobedience a source of optimism because i can control my own financial destiny it's just a new way of coming to consensus it's a game changer in the human history and this is columbus discovering the new world this paradigm shifting technology that transforms economics and finance in

a heartbeat the apollo eleven landing. to the moon with max and stacy. underwater. i mean we did. all your ego to zero zero zero zero zero zero zero ft deep. i was in los angeles it was march of one nine hundred ninety one. i go over and i look out the window and there they are. so i was arrested and that day our father and i wanted her to bring a bargain. i understand she areas not somebody

and i could probably wouldn't shoot at me but just to savor all the scam not as that's not my daughter so she wouldn't do this. and as a result they were under. i could not plead guilty to everything that they accused me of. not guilty alternately i was convicted for conspiracy and dire received twenty four year sentence there's a way in which you have to see the conspiracy law as a very important tool of law enforcement if the crime is selling drugs and some men in miami sells twenty kilos of cocaine to an undercover agent you want to ask who is the seller working where does the money go if the money goes by.
