democrat school new u.s. attorney general to resign accusing him of being terrified to refuse to testify for his take on the report. may day celebrations across europe a lot of clashes between police and protesters. following mass protests rests venezuelan president nicolas maduro says a coup has been averted opposition leader one of his u.s. packers though insists no material with i was being accepted all guests discussed the issue. of the human power by the national committee six million people voted for nicolas maduro last may in

a free and fair election that i observe you know how many people voted for won by done. the morning live from moscow well it's you know it means a national ondine who cleans review all thanks for joining us on the program. the us democrats keeping up the pressure on outside the general william ball demanding he now testify before the house judiciary committee often he was grilled in the u.s. senate over his handling of the report boss says he will skip the hearing on thursday with the chair of the judiciary committee and let me tell you general terrified. i understand why he wants to avoid that kind of scrutiny he is terrified now is terrified of having to face a skilled attorney. released a four page summary of the report which states of the between donald trump and

russia as for obstruction of justice voss said the special counsel had failed to reach a conclusion on the matzah it seems the democrats have still got over the fallout from the report. explains. the democratic party is on the warpath and all who stand between them and their goal of ousting donald trump have a target on their forehead either join with them or step down this attorney general lacks all credibility that your desire earlier yes. he should step down or should resign and if he does not resign he should basing impeachment proceedings also he does need to resign to step up william barr he is the next target in between the democrats and their goal of impeaching donald trump why well he released the bob muller report showing no collusion with russian special counsel found no collusion by any americans in ira's illegal activities testifying before the senate bar was

forced to answer questions about misleading the public and standing in the way and the democrats picked up on one key phrase in bob mahler's letter that being public confusion about key aspects of the investigation the democrats thought they had him with this one but not so fast i asked him if he was suggesting that the march twenty fourth letter was inaccurate and he said no but that the press reporting had been inaccurate feels like the seeds of a cover up are here there are still many questions tonight for instance why president trump and so many people in his orbit lied about their contacts with russia i don't need them over report to know he's a traitor i have the t.v. but hope springs eternal for the democrats next to the stand obstruction of justice president trump in gauge interest. russian of justice and of his kind of president too. to my reading of the. mother report almost certainly obstructed justice or did you find that to be persuasive act of obstructing justice. no

but options still remain on the table for the democrats one perhaps being the fact that the report was redacted perhaps the bombshell the democrats wanted was simply cut out of the report the public version has been estimated to have only ten percent redactions volume two has only about two percent redactions for the public version some ninety eight percent of volume two dealing with obstruction is available to the public think it's mostly backfiring on democrats right now because it's making them look absurd i mean again when you go from rush's interfering in american elections all the way down to well the tourney general didn't accurately summarise the finding the special counsel in a way that the special counsel liked enough i mean it's becoming stupid now i don't think this is really damaging trump's credibility it's just turning this whole thing is even more of a joke than it already was they're actually going to continue this nonsense i think

they've just backed this losing strategy and are going to keep on backing it just as just about as long as they possibly can and you know they've already lost this debate and they're still fighting it it to to me it's just kind of a joke you can't deny that the democrats have drive they've got a goal they've got persistence that is here in abundance and with their eyes on the prize in two thousand and twenty we can expect that the democratic party will keep chasing tails kaleb up and r.t. new york. my day was celebrated around the world though in some major cities the occasion was mobbed with street violence in european capitals from paris to butt in demonstrators clashed with police.

a lot of correspondents. in paris some. rest first hand. well may day started with violence the food the protests the official protests even began those protesters tried to move from the mall printers up towards plastic italy as a result of that the police blocked them off about half a kilometer away started firing tear gas and pushing people back and used that opportunity to make arrests of the black blocks we have seen tear gas used to cannons use trying to put out vehicles that have been set on fire by some of the protesters and you can see a huge huge security force all around the perimeter all over this area we saw some of the protesters looking like they were trying to make

a barricade here something that we've seen them do elsewhere in the route as a result of that some of the mobile police forces came in with their batons hitting them and taking them away and detaining people. i so there's the file and we know about the injuries what i would like to tell you is about the security service seven thousand four hundred security personnel only duty in paris to try and keep a lid on this violence and i can hear behind me i it sounds like we're getting from reuters come up as more of the protesters who are here full this may day protests are making their way to the end of this procession but let's not forget the protesters are both been damaging property in fact we saw a medical faculty with the university of so bone that had its two smashed once again another protest in paris that's descended into violence and chaos this is the

anti for rally yearly event where tens of thousands of left leaning activists come to central bilin and march through its streets people they just don't want to go away and we see the police detaining the instigators and basically trying to clear out this square and this story they had. a helicopter flying overhead that helped the police pinpoint. the wrongdoers the demonstrators are unhappy with the actions of the police was was thousands of people tens of thousands of people have shown today on t.v. for activists and they've been chanting lots of anti capitalist slogans and. of course the police is telling people here to disperse us basically what they're

trying to do is they're trying to clear the square because the march is over officially. at least eighty people were injured in clashes in venezuela on wednesday that saw for opposition leader one of his supporters to stage the largest protest in the country's history. the venezuelan president nicolas maduro spoke at a may day rally calling for a day of dialogue to be held he also notes that an illegal to attempt in the country had been put down over the us security advisor john bolton claims quote it was efforts to depose did not amount to

a coupe. the lies and intrigue that they tried to use against us have failed the coup attempt has been defeated this is a trial for truth loyalty and on a. clearly not a coup we recognize one go 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 one why don't you try and take command of the venezuelan military and the u.s. might object to the coup however if we turn to the dictionary the word is defined as a sudden violent and illegal seizure of power from a government our guest debated whether that's what's being attempted in venezuela. the u.s. supports coup d'etat is all the time this is another example that one has no power under the constitution of venezuela the fact the us recognize him recognizes him is

of no import the u.s. recognizes him because he has already agreed to privatizing venezuela's oil in the interest of u.s. companies that's why the us recognizes him and that does not make him with the opinion of the united states is no the only opinion for all other fifty countries recognize why go as a legitimate president ninety percent of venezuelans do support also while you go there are legitimate president this is an unfolding coup that the us watched to push forward and we have to remember by the way the us supported the coup in two thousand and two against hugo chavez and we're reluctant to call it a coup back then the fact that the us wants to use some antics to cover up what it's doing doesn't change the fact that this is a coup when people say you know a seizure of power illegal seizure of power the basic definition of a coup that key element there is not illegal because. bill has

a legitimate power who recognized by the international community overwhelmingly recognized by international community and by the minister alone people who goes out in masses of people are on the streets supporting the dura that's undeniable there are people there that support him i have friends there contacts that support him you never hear their side or store use never what you never hear from them in the press and so you get one side of the story and that is tantamount to misrepresenting destroy the reason science or do not justify the line in common the basic qana me and the three million plus innocents escape in venezuela for other country. i did not start when this actually started this started way before that six million people voted for nicolas maduro last may in a free and fair election that i observed you know how many people voted for wango i

don't know. how defense secretary gavin williams off the allegedly leaked secret plans involving chinese telecom shot tallboy. strongly denies it was him. and frankly. should go away it should sure took blood by to pay tribute to the help said this feds are going to answer my you know no one you were great using that kind of casual like the world united behind forgetting that one time if you please answer the question we came together with our allies and why it was optional you wish to interview china natured because you won't answer the question good luck with the african open shot project. i can no longer have confidence in you. for the fans and a minister in my cabinet and ask you to leave her majesty's government.

i strenuously deny that i was in any way involved in this leak and i'm confident that a thorough and formal inquiry would have vindicate my position. wiki leaks founder julian assange has been sentenced to fifty weeks of prison that's a lot more stories after this short break. you know we're big a lot and 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks. we have no political agenda here we just if it if it costs more to get out you get when you get it out. a loss it's a minus sign that's it if you can figure that out you think there's a political agenda. blinded by.

welcome back to the program because leaks founder julian assange has been sentenced to fifty weeks in prison in britain for skipping bail back in two thousand and twelve that's what sort refuge inside the ecuadorian embassy in london in an effort to avoid extradition to sweden he was facing sexual assault allegations at the sentencing the judge slammed the wiki leaks is the liberal to tempt the delay just this week leaks editor in chief kristen roughs and criticized the ruling suggesting it was disproportionate given the nature of the case. it was my impression that the judge had written the. decision and written before she heard the mitigated roger there was absolutely no consideration given to the very very convincing mitigating factors in this case so it's. over and we are shocked and saw it was arrested last month following ecuador's decision to revoke his asylum status that's after you spent nearly seven years holed up inside the country's embassy in london is also

a wanted man in the us where he's been charged with conspiracy to obtain classified material hearing on a u.s. extradition request is due to be held on thursday i guess debated what might be next. far as i'm aware the idea that sweden is going to reopen an investigation and issue another european arrest warrant is speed pretty theoretical at the moment if it did it's actually up to the u.k. home secretary to decide which extradition request takes precedence leaks from within the government official deeks have indicated that there was a deal at the trump administration offered a favorable trade deal other economic benefits including debt relief to ecuador if it. was handed over and that is what appears to have. happen but we haven't actually got that absolutely confirmed and obviously we're unlikely to because

neither the top administration nor the ecuadorian government will want to admit it unless we have a whistleblower who will leak the memo we won't know for certain but i suspect that it's all about a deal with the u.s. that led to. being evicted from their could or an embassy in london in the end the u.s. will get what they want they're the biggest bully and they're going to be the one who will fight to bring them to the states there are so many powerful entities they're trying to take him. to silence because they're afraid of the great journalism hundred percent accurate journalism he is now and for the past decade and that is a real threat to the powers that be. the u.s. military stopped publishing its regular reports on the amount of territory controlled by different forces in afghanistan reports were previously made by the

special inspector general for afghan reconstruction or signoff the special post created by the congress was responsible for monitoring u.s. activities in the country cigar also conducts criminal probes the work of the special inspector was criticized by donald trump who said that such reports cannot be published. kind of stuff is just we're fighting wars and they're doing reports and releasing it to the public so the public believes the enemy the enemy we just reports a study every line or they should be private report and be locked up and if a member of congress wants to see you don't want to read the u.s. has been gradually reducing the amount of information it makes public in afghanistan over the last two years in twenty seventeen it stopped publishing data on casualties last july attended assessments on the role of afghan government forces. the u.s. war in afghanistan has cost more than a trillion dollars since the invasion. in two thousand and one it's claimed thousands of american and afghan lives and afghan presidential candidate is now

calling for the u.s. forces to be held accountable for the devastating toll of the conflict. any criminal act by in his severely or military personnel of the united states on a toll will have to be brought to justice through their competent legal of politics he strongly argued that justice process should not be politicized afghans have been victims of human rights violations over the past almost four decades. of peace activist kathy kelly who believes the u.s. government doesn't want people to know the truth about what's happening in afghanistan. the united states pentagon certainly doesn't want the advise the united states popular is it doesn't really care about consent or assent to the war

where they want is the money and if you are just people who truly understand what a disaster is failure and catastrophe is now going on eighteen year war in october to be the eighteenth year what this has represented in terms of failure and destruction i think people wouldn't choose to create these extraordinary sounds and money that people need the information and here in the united states isn't that well not that people are supposed to have exactly this kind of information. operations for victory day you're in full swing in russia and this year high end russian car manufacturer or us will the. latest model that's the same eight cabriolet at the minute she prayed in red square it's expected to carry the defense minister in front of the troops artie's ragas the earth took it for a test drive. and soon a lot of pretty things i catch as starters. everywhere.

a ride unfortunately and try only as passengers. there is different versions of this cause that's the cabaret which which is specifically designed for the parade made victory day parade then there's a sit down with shahzad many of whom. see the number of times they're also making an off road vehicle s.u.v. potentially also available to the public later on this too this is in the calling of the cost of the prize is going to be pretty steep. well that's the headlines for the south going on the grounds coming up next the join us again in thirty minutes for the latest.

with no make this manufacture consent to stick to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. when the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. i mean the real news is. any head of state to be leader flatow. is there a shuttle looks funny that we often see this well you know i mean it will soon miss it just like he was drinking in the suit so where he will use it even though we

mostly focus on that a little aspects that are clogged generally don't discuss the object side it was no interest to us he was there still pranksters you know therefore we tried to do something floyd landis you know played joe the suit. this is a stick from the water bottle phone in the stomach of the fish the brand is part of the coca-cola company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that let's tell consumers there are the bad ones there are the litter bugs are trying this way industry should be blamed for all this waste the company has long promised to reuse the plastic. soon six. that seems cool sets their classes christie cost me on my end only thing you don't

lose at a special projects funded me. on i'm your best bet is the end of a footy team but for now the mountains of waste only grow higher. position folks go through a period of sort of total war but suppose it's fresh blood if. you will boil to the minute that it was my job to. lose them is its appeal to all of the good of that all you won't see this that they're going to bring an enemy at us that it's a. bad feeling almost all. of them but well it was pretty but growing closer to home and will grow if you stay at home which could go on and on we don't know but i come. here to your room you're learning you don't need to storm the lead here so my look down from moods bears are doing
