presidents. discuss the unrest in venezuela and the potential nuclear deal career in an hour long phone conversation. congresswoman says that washington is partly to blame for the turmoil in venezuela the six new state slams comments as the sky. french interior minister has been accused of lying after claiming mayday protesters attacked staff at the paris hospital. facebook's accused of censorship after banning some prominent right wing commentators for alleged hate speech.

is joining us this evening this is. the leaders of russia and the united states spoken by phone trying to find common ground on some key global issues including venezuela trump said that the conversation with limited putin had been positive had a very good talk with president putin probably over an hour and we talked about many things venezuela was one of the topics we're talking about a nuclear agreement where we make less and they make lasts and china is frankly also we just got the possibility of a three way deal or sort of a two way deal. and i've already spoken to them they very much would like to be a part of that deal so a long talk from the first floor but when you think of it and realize that it is the two leaders of two of the world's superpowers discussing the most pressing issues on the agenda well it doesn't sound like that long anymore so what did they

talk about we do know that the talk was highly heavily dominated by the situation in venezuela and certainly a lot for the two leaders to discuss as especially it's not just two leaders but two geo political rivals in this sense because russia of course is supporting nicolas maduro the incumbent president saying that he is the legitimate ruler who was elected and washington supporting one why dole and trying to oust nicolas maduro so obviously vladimir putin and donald trump try to look for common ground and we do know that they have agreed at least on one thing and that is if any transition of power was to take place in venezuela it should be very very peaceful soul no arms no interventions nothing of the sort it seems that lattimer putin and donald trump do see eye to eye on that also they discussed the situation in north korea and that is particularly interesting of putting put in context because vladimir putin did me to north korea's supreme leader kim jong on just last week

and we also know that. did somewhat to vent his frustration with the way washington chooses to do diplomacy with his country and vladimir putin apparently made something of a promise to pass those concerns to the american side of course no way of telling whether or not that was done during that phone conversation also the situation in ukraine got into the spotlight during the talk and worldwide i'm appalled and did make an emphasis of the minsk agreements it should be implemented that there should be more focus on how these agreements are. being implemented and it is of course something known as the minsk peace process and which is an internationally recognized and agreed on road map to restoring peace in ukraine to ending this bloody civil war that is basically tearing the country apart also the situation around the release of the model report could not be overlooked so the two leaders

briefly discussed this but the key word is briefly as apparently they chose not to focus on that to have a leap now both washington and moscow have said that they are finding this phone conversation to be a very productive one and indeed it is a very interesting introduction to the upcoming meeting of the country's two top diplomats circular and america's might come pay or said to talk to each other as soon as next week in finland and so maybe something else will come out of today's phone conversation after those talks in march the u.s. role in venezuela is coming under scrutiny in washington democratic congresswoman no morris partially blamed u.s. policies for the devastation seen in the country but the words didn't go down well with top officials a lot of the policies that we have put in place has helped lead the devastation in venezuela particular bullying and the use of sanctions to

eventually into the and. make change really does not help the people of countries like venezuela for a member of congress who frankly one who sits in important national security committee to make a statement blaming america first of this way it's not only ignorant it's disgusting congresswoman doesn't know what she's talking about. in january the u.s. imposed sanctions on venezuela's state all for according to washington the sanctions will freeze seven billion dollars worth of company assets and lead to losses of more than eleven billion dollars over the coming year president trump claims he's trying to help the venezuelan people the brutal repression of the venezuelan people must stand most people are starving they have no food they have no water and this was once one of the wealthiest countries in the world so we

wish them well we'll be there to help and we are there to help. and as well a president nicolas maduro claims that the opposition attempted to orchestrate a coup this week but military forces remained loyal to the president while hundreds of thousands of people marched in a show of support for people died in clashes between anti-government protesters and police. we will put is the co-founder of the web site venezuelan our sister company joins me on the line now. gregory we heard from secretary state might compare their speaking very harshly of. comments called the ignorant and their words disgusting by blaming america for partly for what's happening in venezuela what do you think of his remark. well i mean it seems to me that bump they are intense are themselves that ones are being ignorant about the effect that the sanctions are having on doing this with although i actually propel himself recently said that the venezuelan people are suffering thanks to the pressure that

the united states is putting i mean this is literally what something that pump a outset so clearly the intended effect of the sanctions is to make the venezuelan people suffer and the law not mob is correctly pointing out that that's precisely what these sanctions are doing it's the center for economic and policy research and a think tank in washington d.c. recently came up with an analysis. that according to some estimates it could be as many as forty thousand people have lost their lives due to the sanctions because of the lack of access to medicines that was prevented precisely because of the sanctions and all the time claims that the u.s. says is helping the people of venezuela out and if he means by regime change do you understand how washington could be helping the people of the country. yeah well clearly they think that closing. the. access to these kinds of supplies and so on is going to cause a regime change operation which would bring about as well as the better government

but that's something for the menace remains to decide so we're definitely not helping by forcing a change in government that's helping would be the only if there was actual negotiations between the opposition and the government but the u.s. government is not in the least bit interested in doing guard and they always talk about all options being on the top the table they mean basically the possibility of military intervention but they do not want to say that negotiations between government and not positioning is an option but there seems to be seriously you mentioned previously mike pence he has accused because of the comment she made of choosing socialism. is that a good move fame to make to make this a battle between socialism and freedom. well of course that's something that the trumpet ministers in concert is trying to do they're setting up not only immigrants and muslims but also socialists as being somehow the new boogie man. as the new

threat to the united states and so that's something that constantly interested in doing but it actually has no basis in reality but it's well it's still mostly capitalist country and not only that i just mentioned before a large part of the economic optimism that is going to sweep dark are attributable to the sanctions not all of them well i would say but i would serve with their trickle to socialism both right at their trickle to sort of the areas that the government has made and so it's you know of course it's it supports his root rhetorical strategy but it has really no basis in reality is dark about socialism gregory appreciate your time i guess assad who will put coparent founder of the website defend his well analysis dot com. on to the news now france's interior minister has been branded a liar has three claimed that anticapitalist had attacked staff at

a paris hospital during a may day rally that dudley but that it was an eyewitness accounts of that incident suggest they were actually taking cover from riot police who were firing tear gas shelling reports from the french capital. violence all may the first has been well documented in one of the most shocking stories that emerged from that violence was these allegations of particularly by francis interior minister that actually some of the reuters and those protesters were trying to attack a hospital trying to attack the staff and trying to enter into that hospital this particular hospital was actually a surgical intensive care unit and there was descriptions of the patients inside saying that they were in quite carry situation many of them were intimidated some ventilated and that the staff at whom rickly tried to fight off that attack of those protesters entering into the site this is what france's interior minister had to say about that event the petrea hospital was attacked its medical

staff were attacked and the police officers sent to protect them was hurt unshakable faith in our security services they are the pride of the republic well that's his version of events but in a twist going on here social media has been flooded with videos showing exactly what happened on the ground in that hospital and actually what we've seen from those videos and social media some of which were actually taken by members of staff inside the hospital don't show what the interior minister said happened in fact what they show is that the c.r.s. the security forces with charging at protesters those protesters were fleeing from the security services and as such they were seeking refuge inside the hospital not just for that charge but also because of the tear gas that had been deployed in the area so a very different version of events and as such opposition politicians here in

france have described christopher kasten a as being a liar and some of them have even called for his resignation. if it was a deliberate lie in turn it soley to deliver and turn issue a social movement then the interior minister should be fired with our doing. kristoff. shamelessly and manipulated the press to spread these lies you know who's enough given the facts he has no choice but to resign well in other developments coming out of that may day protests in france it's also a message that this video showing the police officers actually picking up paving stones from the road and throwing that to all its protesters now we know that this is a weapon of arsenal that the protesters have used for many months during the yellow vest protests and indeed on the may day but this is the first time in paris we've seen evidence of the police using what essentially is an sanctioned weapon against

the protesters it begs the question whether the police are the ones who inciting the violence and instead of trying to control the situation they're actually poor ring oil on the fire. you know hospital staff of spoken to the media describing the moment when mayday protesters rushed into the facility. julian the most number of them startled us at first but very quickly they started to listen some try to calm them down it's a hospital calmed down they understood that we couldn't lead the man and now when it comes to finding someone to blame we don't know there's nothing to say i think when you take part in a protest things always get a little bit out of hand and that's the weight is. on the there were several of us we didn't see any black blocks we saw some yellow vests who were in a panic going in all directions there were about ten of them they went up the stairs and at the door they asked for something for their eyes which they said were

stinging we saw no signs of forced entry doors or anything some colleagues did go to treat their ice. turn to the u.k. now where opposition m.p.'s have been calling for an official inquiry into the alleged leaking of secret plans by sacked defense secretary gavin williamson prime minister trees may insist about is now closed that is farming is only due to loss of confidence in him marty's polyploid who expects. this was a man of course who had huge political ambitions it was said that he wanted to work his way to the very top to succeed to reason may but his fall from grace appears to have been even faster than a sort of fast track to success to reason may sacked him as defense secretary earlier this week she accused him of leaking highly sensitive information i put to you delete information from the investigation which provides compelling evidence

suggesting your responsibility for do you not to rise disclosure i can no longer have full confidence in you as secretary of state for the fence and a minister in my cabinet and ask you to leave her majesty's government gavin williamson is calling for a criminal investigation into the leak in order to establish his innocence he's sworn on his kids' lives that he wasn't behind the leak there are now rumors in westminster that williamson could be out for revenge that he's got enough dirt on the prime minister to bring her down she has been working at the top level of cabinet at the highest echelons of power for a few years now he was eventually brought into cabinet as defense secretary way he was rather outspoken and. frankly brochure should go away it should churchill.

answer here. let me thank you. for the very real business that. indeed we take a kerosene stick approach. personally i don't like the stick. but it is amazing. what's come be achieved with a sharp and to heart you can see that gavin williamson wasn't without his quirks he was famous in parliament for keeping a pet tarantula named crudeness on his desk and he has been posting rather a lot on social media in fact he's quite prolific keep posted since his sacking a photograph on instagram with his two pet dogs saying that it's been a really tough week but it is so all ok when you get to come home to your pets he

says he's going to have a lot more time for them now he's now been replaced by the u.k.'s first ever female defense secretary penny mordant she's a royal navy reservist and fun fact she once worked as a magician's assistant now looking at the dialo coal election results today and with greg's it still dragging on and with williamson refusing to shut up and go away perhaps to reason may is hoping that some of penny more dense magic will rub off on her. facebook is some prominent right wing commentators for alleged hate speech will bring you that story under the surface of the brick. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. and spearing dramatic developments only. exists i

don't see it. will be successful very critical time to sit down in. you know world of big partisan. and conspiracies 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 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.

facebook has some controversial right wing figures from this platform citing a policy against dangerous individuals and organizations the ban also applies to instagram which is owned by facebook most of the people on the list have prominent media profiles think clued alex jones with his website info wars x. news editor. political activist laura luna moreover anyone who promotes their content on social media faces similar sanctions. explaining the decision place but says that it has always banned individuals or organizations that promote violence and hate regardless of their ideology you tube reporters if watson has also been banned by the social media giant claims that the move is purely politics i was

given no reason whatsoever for being banned by facebook or instagram this is punishment this is a political purge this has nothing to do with hate or violating terms of service yesterday ever wrote an article about how i was leavin in a digital gulag on holocaust remembrance day and today even though i was and have dedicated my life to competent jew hatred these nazis in silicon valley ban me facebook sanction a spot they censor ship debate some say the company more people others warn of repercussions on free speech every conservative should be concerned about alex jones prison planet and others getting an arbitrary banned from facebook platforms you an extent censorship is entering a new more hysterical face soon there will be no right wing activists or commentators laughed how bad jag benyon donald trump from twitter for violating the

company's rules against hate and violence so much damage already done so many demented and delusional followers have been radicalized in many plated by cars facebook and her square nature of british think tank the bow group thinks the facebook suppressing one side of political debate and therefore the company should be regulated. they're reacting to the election results like the bricks like the election of donald trump and it would appear that they feel there's a company that they want to put themselves on the side of the debate they need to be regulated as such as a as a political actor in the debate rather than a platform for a free debate which i think it's now very clear they are not facebook very clearly putting themselves on one side of the political debate it is absolutely it could tell them to free speech because they're saying these individuals are dangerous well many people like myself see them as perfectly reasonable actors in

a political debate stay have huge following across a variety of platforms facebook is clearly pushing itself as a political act why is excusing the regulation that other media companies face. and the alleged longtime collaborator of we can leaks co-founder julian assange will remain in pretrial detention in ecuador a court in the country has dismissed an appeal by the cyber security expert he was arrested in quito last month on the same day a song that was taken into custody in the u.k. or lebanese a well known software developer and privacy activist reportedly worked with wiki leaks in the past and he was arrested by a quid or an author on charges of trying to hack computer systems in the country however his lawyers claim that the case is politically motivated now and not ever investigations of the have been demonstrated what seems to be his. way to get it or where to look i mean what's the information that we're going to show to the

world that the decision made here was a political one though you said the war there were aspects of the hearing that i did not like for example the difference in time allocated we were granted just fifty minutes to talk with the prosecutors spoke for almost one hour and fifteen minutes more critically some of our arguments were dismissed by the judges. sanjeeb self is in a british prison after being sentenced to fifty weeks behind bars for breaking bail terms he's also awaiting trial over a request for extradition to the u.s. where he's wanted for allegedly conspiring to hack into classified government files the sons told a london court on thursday he wouldn't surrender voluntarily to the americans activist lori love he was also accused of hacking into u.s. government computers there's a songe will have a huge battle ahead. i think he's going to have an uphill struggle everyone has an

uphill struggle under us actually this request because it's a very unbalanced treaty so the u.s. doesn't have to provide any evidence they just have to have their paperwork in order and the presumption is a view only towards extradition if we manage to win there's a lot of campaigning and a lot of support political support from the m.p.'s and support from journalist she is going to have a harder time because he's already out of this politically he's upset the establishment in the u.k. the establishment i would say is complicit in his persecution and we need to do everything we can as members of the public and supporters of this journalist or people involved in journalism to ensure that we do you know i allow the injustice and isolation to happen. the u.s. is expected to continue its support for the saudi military intervention in yemen the senate's failed to overturn president trumps vento of a house resolution on ending washington's involvement in the war saudi arabia is a despotic dictatorship. that works over time to

prevent any movement in that country toward democracy this is also about squaring us policy with national security interests and getting the blood off of our hands and we are not give unflinching unwavering unquestioning. devotion to a regime that treats its own people that way on the house passed the resolution opposing the involvement last month with sixteen republicans voting in favor however it was blocked by donald trump who did a dangerous attempt to weaken his constitutional authority we had lost this bombing campaign in yemen back in two thousand and fifteen to get to thieve rebels. visas being terrorists and incursion has resulted in what the us describes as the worst manmade humanitarian crisis on earth.
