military intervention that comes after a failed coup attempt against him this week. trump of vladimir putin has spoken on the phone on a number of global issues including front as well as the u.s. president said that he had a productive discussion about the crisis with his russian counterpart he is. not looking at all to get involved in venezuela other than he'd like to see something positive happen for venezuela. and i feel the same way so we want to help with a humanitarian basis and i thought it was a very positive conversation i had with president putin on venezuela. next week the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov and these u.s. counterparts will meet in finland where they are expected to discuss venezuela as the crisis continues in the south american country some in washington have been looking closer to home about where some of the blame might lie as the of explains.
4:03 pm
the schism over venezuela isn't just international it's domestic too in the u.s. from anti regime change activists who are guarding the venezuelan embassy to congress persons democrat. committed an unforgivable sin she spoke speakable 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 there are some things you just don't do like blame america for anything and for her troubles both the vice president and the secretary of state called basically an idiot for a member of congress who frankly one who sits on an important national security
4:04 pm
committee to make a statement blaming america first in this way it's not only ignored it's discussed in congress. no she's talking about in simpler terms obama is ignorant for saying that us meddling threats sanctions that have deprived venezuelans of desperately needed billions but all of that has exacerbated the crisis in venezuela that apparently is ignorant but recognizing go i do as president to spite the fact that no one voted for him or listens to him at the military nor ministries nor any state agencies recognizing him as president isn't ignorant also black is white the earth is flat pigs can fly and it's not a coup for wind why don't you try and take command of the venezuelan military if you throw out all sense and relinquish all ties with reality then yes this wasn't
4:05 pm
a coup well why do did was call and soldiers to mutiny take up arms and violently seize power from people who actually have power why do those behalf totally not a coup. the only coup in venezuela would be for i was arrested we're now living under a dictatorship and then terry nation rejects it. and while why do prepares his next not a coup trump be standing by to assist with these known coups 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 why do not a coup didn't go to plan aside from a few dozen soldiers that appeared with him at the start no other military members
4:06 pm
he did his call to rebel his attempt to storm a military base felt. lats neither did it too peacefully with his supporters firing wildly at police and the military then firing back as well. they say they will give up cooling of course for more protests try to cope with the venezuelan government and they'll continue to grace the front covers of more men's fashion magazines who knows perhaps that's just what they need a little more photoshop. sign from venezuela trump and putin also discussed in the cold the possibility of a nuclear arms treaty between russia and the us china on to america is rick sanchez discussed the prospects with journalist chris hedges reports from the white house
4:07 pm
today that president trump has reached out to president putin on the subject of nuclear arms agreement between the united states russia and china of course we really don't know what they discussed but that is what the president's staff is putting out if it's true and we take them at their word which we should it would be kind of strange considering that the u.s. and russia already had a nuclear treaty in place negotiated by ronald reagan to me kyle gorbachev that we our country chose to just no longer author just a few months ago that decision was made so it's curious right speaking of mr gorbachev he has just pen that editorial in the wall street journal where he's urging both sides to stop the madness of nuclear deterrence he writes that the idea that more weapons make us more safe is just. matt. joining us now is wedding author chris hedges to talk about this article by mikhail gorbachev it's called the
4:08 pm
madness of nuclear deterrence do you get his point on this gorbachev is exactly right this is this inability on the part of the world's two largest nuclear powers to speak and negotiate. rationally is very very dangerous. there's this thinking out there that's been going on for a long time he talks about margaret thatcher being a disciple of this most of us grew up with the cuban missile crisis we've always been told as long as we have big nukes and the bigger our nukes the bigger their nukes that's fine because then no one will use them so it's the fact that our weapons are large that keeps us from ever having to engage in a war that's kind of the thinking guys like you and i grew up with and that's what some of those leaders you just mentioned also kind of believed in is that true. well no of course i mean it was it was reducing the nuclear stockpiles and
4:09 pm
and monitoring those stockpiles that made the world a safer place getting reengaged which we've now done in a nuclear weapons race and remember the russians have now put up antiballistic systems that they say cannot be detected because of course we've moved under nato missiles up to russia's border this is extremely dangerous you have various flashpoints syria being one where this conflict could go wrong really quickly and so you want communication you want discussion you know you have you don't have detente one would know it already has to you know love lot of our putin or love russia or anything else but what's kept the world from committing acts of massive self-annihilation has been forms of community. nation which figures like my pompei on john bolton have no interest in doing as we've seen in venezuela i think they're probably incapable of speaking to anyone but themselves.
4:10 pm

a society is only as strong as its weakest member but does it belong in our past our present or our future well if you listen to the leader of the youth wing of angle of merkel's coalition partners here in germany it's very much the latter particularly when it comes to the german automobile industry there is nothing wrong with the b.m.w. brand the only question is why b.m.w. should belong to a few people who have the sole rise to the profits the distribution of profits must be democratically controlled that excludes a capitalist owner without a form of collectivization is unthinkable to overcome capsule ism well those comments have landed the s.p. their money in hot water with some critics in his own party well going as far as to question his mental state or to nonsense what was you smoking whatever it was it can to be legal the social democrats that kevin represents is traditionally the party of the working class but they have had

socialist dreams but what is scary is that the press and parties are listening to him despite his lack of actual knowledge and experience could it so ideas may not sit too well with everybody but if you look across the atlantic senator bernie sanders in the united states was able to draw an army of young supporters to his cause saying pretty much similar things in kunar it may well be looking to do the same thing peter all over r.t. bill it. yellow vest protesters have gathered in paris for a twenty fifth consecutive week of demonstrations once again voicing anger against president micron's economic policies rally comes a week after the french president addressed the nation in that speech to cut taxes in order to ease economic pressure on the people last week's protests or clashes with police after thousands of taken to the streets across the country.
