5:01 am
get him in 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 one. none. you're watching the live from moscow. you're very welcome with us on the program. now us democrats keeping up the pressure on attorney general william demanding he now testifies before the house judiciary committee saw after he was grilled in the u.s. senate over his handling of the report says he'll skip the hearing on thursday with the chair of the judiciary committee the attorney general terrified. and you stand why he wants to avoid me is terrified is terrified of having to face.
5:02 am
any of back in march released a four page summary of the report which stated there'd been no collusion between donald trump and russia as for obstruction of justice boss said that the special counsel had failed to reach a conclusion on the matter so during his senate ruling the attorney general claimed that didn't think he misrepresented the special counsel's report some of the senators questioning him didn't buy that. it's very clear with me that he was not suggesting that we had misrepresented his report i feel your rants are just purposely misleading and i think others do too now the american people know that you are no different from rudy giuliani or kellyanne conway or any of the other people who sacrificed their once decent reputation for the grifter and liar who sits in the oval office being attorney general of the united states is a sacred trust you have betrayed that trust america deserves better resign
5:03 am
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 is attorney general lacks all credibility for years i really do 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 russia a 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
5:04 am
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 so. rings eternal for the democrats next to the stand obstruction of justice president trump in gaijin obstruction of justice and of his kind of president to. to my reading of the. mother report almost certainly obstructed justice or did you find that to be persuasive act of obstructing justice . you know but option still remain on the table for the democrats one perhaps being the fact that the report was redacted perhaps the bombshell the democrats
5:05 am
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 so ninety eight percent of volume to 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 trumps 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
5:06 am
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. was so low in chief in a song just back in court if only via skype from the u.k. jail. judges will consider whether to grant the request into the united states where he faces a charge of conspiring to hack a classified government file this comes just a day after assad was sentenced to fifty weeks in jail for skipping bail back into a twelve. sought refuge inside the ecuadorian embassy in london in an effort to avoid extradition to sweden where he was facing sexual assault allegations at the sentencing the judge slammed the wiki leaks founder for his deliberate attempt to delay justice leaks editor in chief kristinn hrafnsson criticized the ruling
5:07 am
suggesting it was disproportionate given the make sure of the case it was my impression that the judge had written the. decision and written it out before you 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. when i was arrested last month following ecuador's decision to revoke his asylum status after he spent nearly seven years holed up inside the country's embassy in london and a wanted man in the united states 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 our guests debated what might be next for assad's. the idea that sweden is going to reopen an investigation and issue another european arrest warrant is pretty theoretical at the moment if it did it's actually up to the u.k.
5:08 am
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 of economic benefits including debt relief to ecuador if. it was handed over and that is what p. . has to 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 you know 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 the songs being evicted from their kid 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 ones that will fight to bring them to the states there are so many powerful entities
5:09 am
they're trying to take him. to silence because they're afraid of the great journalist a hundred percent accurate journalism. for the past decade and that is a real stretch to the powers that be. may day rallies in major cities around the world were mobbed by violence protesters of all stripes clashed with riot police. in europe and the capitalists were prominent in the may day violence correspondent
5:10 am
shot at the ski and he goes down and witnessed the unrest in paris on. from a day started with violence the food the protests the official protests even began those protests is trying to move from the more printers up towards plastic it's really as a result of that the police who walk them off about half a kilometer away stone seats firing tear gas and pushing people back and used that opportunity to make arrests of the black blocks we have seen tear gas used move 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 that battle was hitting them and taking them away and detaining people. i
5:11 am
mean 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 trying to keep a lid on this violence and i can hear behind me i it sounds like we're getting some rightists 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 protest is a bozo bin damaging property in fact we saw a medical faculty with the university of so bone that had it too smashed once again another protest in paris that's descended into violence and chaos this is the ante for a rally yeah something of a yearly event where tens of thousands of lives leaning activists come to central bilin and march through the 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
5:12 am
square and this free. they had a helicopter flying overhead that helped the police pinpoint. the wrongdoers the demonstrators are on happy with the actions of the police was thousands of people tens of thousands of people have shown today ninety five activists hand they've been chanting lots of anti capitalist slogans. 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. but it wasn't just europe that soran rest on may day the venezuelan capital saw antigovernment protests turn ugly just
5:13 am
a day after an alleged killer attempt by the opposition was put down some eighty people were injured in the latest clashes. the venezuelan president nicolas maduro spoke at a may day rally calling for a day of dialogue to be held he also confirmed an illegal coup attempt had been put down however u.s. security advisor john bolton claim is there never was any attempted coup. yet dealt the lies and intrigue that they tried to use against the failed coup attempt has been defeated this is a trial for truth loyalty and. clearly not
5:14 am
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 one why don't you try and take command of the venezuelan military and the us want to project 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 august's debated whether that is 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 u.s. recognizes him and that does not make him with the opinion of the united states is
5:15 am
no the only opinion for all of the 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 u.s. wants to use semantics 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 doesn't key element there is not illegal because. doesn't get him in power recognized by the international community older will mainly recognize the international community and by the venezuelan people who goes
5:16 am
out in matches people are on the streets supporting the door of that's undeniable there are people there that support him i have friends there contacts that support him you never hear their side worst or 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 destroyed their recent science or do not just if i decline in common the basic common me and the three million plus in this one it's gaping venezuela for other current. no 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 do you know how many people voted for want . none just off a short break we'll go live to london where our correspondent pointed booker will bring us the latest on a song's use us extradition hearing see you in just a few moments.
5:17 am
you know world big movie. and conspiracy it's time. to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than we need to be smarter 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 then you get when you get it out that's called a loss it's a minus sign that's it you can't figure that out you think there's
5:18 am
a political agenda. you're blinded by by. the program the u.s. military has stopped publishing its regular reports on the amount of territory controlled by different forces in afghanistan the head of the watchdog responsible for monitoring this says u.s. citizens will now know less about their country's successes and failures in the region when the reports are made by the special inspector general for afghan reconstruction otherwise known as. now this special post created by congress was responsible for monitoring u.s. activities in the country also canucks criminal probe was well the work of the special inspector was criticized by donald trump who slammed the idea of making it
5:19 am
public. kind of stuff as we're fighting wars and they're doing reports and releasing it to the public now the public is the enemy the enemy retards reports a study every line or they should be private report and be locked up and if a member of congress wants to see it going to read over the last two years the us has gradually been reducing the amount of information it makes public on afghanistan in twenty seventeen it stopped publishing its data on casualties last july it ended assessments on the role of government forces in the country as well now the latest rollback makes it even harder to track what territories currently under the control of the afghan government or the trend of reducing information on afghanistan comes against a backdrop of u.s. talks with the taliban and the worsening security situation in the country now the u.s. war in afghanistan has cost more than a trillion dollars that since the invasion took place of course back in two thousand and one is claimed thousands of american and afghan lives and afghan
5:20 am
presidential candidate is now calling for the u.s. forces to be held accountable for the devastating toll of the conflict in any criminal act by any civilian or military personnel of the united states on a tall order to be brought to justice through their competent or part it because we are strong. justice process should not be politicized africans have been victims of human rights violations over the past almost four decades of peace activist kathy kelly will leave the u.s. government doesn't want the public to know the whole truth about what's happening in afghanistan. the united states pentagon certainly doesn't want the advice of the
5:21 am
united states populace it doesn't really care about consent or assent to the war what they want is the money and if you are just people who truly understand what a disastrous 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 pay these extraordinary sounds and money that people need the information and here in the united states isn't that well not that people a space to have exactly this kind of information. to go back to a story we brought just a little a hearing is underway at a london court where wiki leaks founder julian assange legal team is expected to challenge a u.s. extradition request with editor in chief christine have some had this to say the head of the ruling. the image of faith leaders just to feel that i have faith in
5:22 am
the people. in the people who are here for. we really are growing up and people who understand the issues well correspondent philip clark who is just outside the court well polly. updated a lot of media interest obviously in this case what can we expect from the hearing today. well it's a sound versus the u.s. government today because this is the preliminary hearing and it's all about whether the british authorities should allow the wiki leaks founder to be extradited over to the u.s. to face computer hacking charges that the u.s. has accused julian assange just conspiring to hack a u.s. government computer with chelsea manning and that was of course just prior to the leaking of the now notorious iraq war logs that was that trove of classified document that was released back in two thousand and ten among which there was that harrowing video of u.s.
5:23 am
soldiers appearing to kill civilians in iraq now joining us on she isn't here in person today he is he will be appearing via video link in the court room here but he was in another london courtroom yesterday he was sentenced to almost a year in prison fifty weeks behind bars for skipping bail back in twenty twelve when he initially sought refuge in the ecuadorian embassy here in london have a judge there was pretty strict with him there isn't much of a sense of clemency when it comes to a song here in london the judge said that julian assange should so publicly flouted the nor he evaded justice for seven years in full view of the media scrutiny as well while he was hiding in that ecuadorian embassy now from julian assange on his side he and his legal team of said the entire time that the reason he had to. flee to the ecuadorian embassy was because he was wanted for questioning over
5:24 am
allegations of sexual assault in sweden which julian assange has always maintained that he was worried it was a precursor to a u.s. extradition request now after seven years in the embassy the statute of limitations on those swedish legal proceedings may have expired but last month after. julian assange just relationship with the ecuadorian hosts broke down he was dragged out of the ecuadorian embassy here in london he was arrested by british police and he was slapped with a u.s. extradition request so in true a staunch style the hearing today has attracted the media circus since attracted a lot of very vocal supporters of his and he is a pretty divisive began as some see him as a journalist a freedom fighter for some he's seen as a computer hacker regardless of how he's seen there is a sense that what happens here today and how this legal case unfolds could have why
5:25 am
he did repercussions for press freedoms as a whole because if julian assange can be pursued by the u.s. or even extradited over to the u.s. for publishing classified documents that could have implications for journalists and whistleblowers anywhere in the world if they publish us material. that's the concern put a book thanks for bringing us the latest polly in london waiting for that court ruling. well let's join us again in thirty minutes for the latest global news updates will see that. what is calling the coin is magic and the new type of digital currency decentralized digital scarcity. i'm bringing a second for a bank that's called the genesis block for
