dozens of rockets from across the border. this is. the venezuelan president nicolas maduro the opposition leader have called on their supporters to take to the streets in the country's armed forces to rise up against the government and he's expected to make a speech outside the military base the same time the venezuelan president has called on the armed forces to be ready to face a u.s. military intervention that comes after a failed coup attempt against him this week. maltol trump of the putin of spoken by phone on a number of global issues including venezuela the us 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 out on humanitarian basis and i thought it was a very positive conversation i had with president putin on venezuela. next week the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov and the u.s. secretary of state will meet in finland where they too are expected to discuss venezuela as the crisis continues in the south american countries some in washington have been looking closer to home about where some of the blame lies because the of explains. the schism over venezuela isn't just international it's domestic too in the u.s. from the 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 for her troubles with 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 committee to make a statement blaming america first this way it's not only ignorant it's disgusting congresswoman doesn't know she's talking about in simpler terms obama is ignorant for saying that u.s. 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 despite the fact that no one voted for him or listens to him of 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 one 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 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 on why do those behalf totally not a coup in. the only coup in venezuela would before 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 and it must and soon 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 he did his call to rebel his attempts to storm a military base fell flat neither did it go peacefully with his supporters firing wildly at police and the military then firing back as well.

they say they won't give up calling of course for more protests try to topple the venezuelan non government and i'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. the signs from venezuela trump and putin also discussed the possibility of a nuclear arms treaty between russia and the u.s. and china. has discussed the prospect the journalist chris hedges. reports from the white house 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 and mcconnell gorbachev that we our country chose to just no longer order just a few months ago that decision was made so it's curious right speaking of mr gorbachev he has just penned 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 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 or rationally is very very dangerous but

there's is 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 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 any ballistic 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 say 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 where we 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 pump a zero and 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. high school in san francisco named after u.s. president george washington may remove a mural commemorating the life of the founding father that's after a local activist group deemed that it traumatizes students and community members

the thirteen panel mural entitled the life of george washington dates back to nine hundred thirty six the activist group which includes students and school representative says that the mural portrays native americans and black people as victims and slaves and removing monuments now the engine appropriate by certain groups it's well it's become increasingly common on u.s. campuses for example two months ago students at the university of mississippi they voted to remove a statue of a confederate soldier and last year protests broke out at the university of north carolina that resulted in the knocking down of another confederates that aunty spoke to attorney and author resurfacing and media analyst lionel about the strained. that only must we remove any reference we must provide tranquilizers and narcotics to our children lest they perhaps we think or come across anything that is discomforting historical has become hysterical it's not about hysterics that's not the issue at all the issue is that our history in this country has been one

that's so so damaging some will gruesome so painful and here's the issue the issue is that even two hundred four hundred years later people are still hurt oh i can't go to scole oh my god you have cured one help more and more psych meds teenager this is ridiculous what we should be doing is teaching these kids do us a favor sit down and shut up what we're doing in this country is unacceptable and i choose not to think down and shut up i choose to think and up and speak out and i want the children in america. george washington high school to continue the children in george washington high school to continue to stand up and speak out and let their voices be heard in these rogue shoe signalling social justice warriors these people who were sold said incident in philly that this paving that's been there at george washington high school of get ready george washington now must

be removed because the east children are come on let's turn this ugly history on its head and you think as a launching pad so that people who have been hurt by this country gruesome history can finally began to have an equal footing what happens when you then say now let's open up the history book we took the sign down now all right children you happy good ok now let's talk about this wait a minute i don't want to read this book we don't like the story of. tear that out we don't like this about the way they treated native americans which is true is terrible we don't like world war two war war one the holocaust vietnam war we don't like any of this when this this trigger is ours we would like to rip the pages from the text book that's actually not what was said at all they simply said this artwork this artwork which is

a tribute to this person to the legacy of this person is offensive and because we find this artwork to be offensive we would like it to not be visible please never let these students go to a museum please never let them go to the louve never let them go to washington never let them go to battle grounds never let them see anything the point is we are having little snowflakes decide what they want to see and what they don't want to see and that's fine but life doesn't reflect those sensibilities. the israeli military claims to have destroyed a key hamas base gaza in response to cross border rocket fire palestinian medics say the latest israeli bombing raids killed four civilians including a pregnant woman one of the blasts was caught on camera. israeli strikes at one hundred twenty targets and destroyed an underground tunnel

killed as they were struck by a rocket by the israeli forces while other fifty other palestinians where wounded in the protests this also happened after two officers to ease reilley officers on the border where shot by a palestinian sniper fire so until now we don't know if the situation is going to keep on escalating but. this time has failed to restrain and to bring back calmness between israel and gaza. coming up for you our correspondent goes for a spin with new york's first of a muslim patrol thoughts after the break. it

has nothing to do with the propaganda that the daily mail is pushing but when you. might be susceptible the propaganda they can easily be manipulated into thinking that fracking is something other than what it is it's not economically viable it costs more to frack then then then you make a profit it's cash flow negative it's also environmentally negative you destroy the environment incredible.

germany where a rising political figure has drawn attention to urging top firms like b.m.w. to be brought under collective ownership there most are made by kevin and it's leader of the social democratic party's youth wing he's found to shift the party's policies further to the left since joining the s.p.d. is youth chief gurnet is also been a vocal critic of surging rents and big property developers however his latest comments have led many in berlin halls of power to distance themselves from him and speak to all of the reports. socialism the idea that 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 collectivize ation is unthinkable so 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 it's a nonsense what was you smoking whatever it was it cannot be legal the social democrats that kevin kuna represents is traditionally the party of the working class but they have had a horrid time of late and are currently polling third nationally behind the chancellor's union bloc and the greens me of course has plenty of history when it

comes to the left of the political spectrum but ideas of a return to east germany or the g.d.r. certainly got between its critics fired up thirty years after the fall of the berlin wall the left wants to return to democratic socialism the airspeed leadership must clearly distance itself from such fantasies as you may well imagine people on social media i've had plenty to say about mystic units ideas of collectivism. b.m.w. is a great company not despite the liberal market economy but because of that they dream so the socialist on the working theory who wants to own property only by force and repression. is a living example of someone who has never worked in his life and lives outside reality it's hard to believe taxpayers are funding such people. coots can have his 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's ideas may not sit too well with everybody but if you look across the atlantic senator bernie sanders in the united states who is 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. berlin for. the universe movement is trying to keep up the pressure on the french president that despite a money market funds policy proposals last week seeking to ease the long running civil unrest it was week twenty five of rallies and some of the lowest turnout today at last week's protests or clashes with police after tens of thousands took to the streets many activists say micron's latest proposals last week which include tax cuts worth around five billion euros do not go far enough. thailand has crowned its new king marking the beginning of

a grand three day ceremony the last time such an event occurred in the country was almost seventy years ago or the king's reign officially began in two thousand and sixteen he still had to complete a number of buddhist and brahmin rituals now is that allow him to symbolically transform into a living god and they permit him to proclaim himself as the patron of buddhism king ascended to the throne in the time of large political uncertainty in the country. and a new community watch scheme in new york is promising to help keep local muslims safe in the city to find out warranties correspond killing more pin was invited on patrol. we know there has been an increased rate of hate crimes and we're just here to help provide any protection we can any safety we can. live. you know they're not cops and they're not a private army either they say that they're just a community watch keeping an eye on the neighborhood and helping law enforcement

but here's the catch they're muslims the muslim patrol was started by an immigrant from yemen and it's got roughly thirty regular members in brooklyn they have met with the police to be sure about what they can and cannot do as they operate from patrol cars keeping an eye on the neighborhood. to. come in brooklyn think the muslim patrols are a good thing after all hate crimes and attacks on muslims have certainly escalated however other voices are saying this could be a gateway for a sharia law in extremism here's what some local residents told us they think muslim patrol is i think it will be much safer are you concerned about muslims

wearing uniforms and patrolling in cars like police almost gives you sure as long as there's no one in harm or anything then they should be free to do whatever they want. something that. we have muslim community are told in services we're here to help bridge the community together by the same time we're offering counseling therapy as well as feeding you homeless and many of us. services as well we are the years and the ice for the community so we make sure we take in reports of whatever might be happening from the community local issues that even from then y. be to help go around back and forth through the blocks to see what we can help with you all don't carry guns do you know of course not right no and right that wouldn't

really tell you know what terms nothing but and if you see like an incident happening how do you intervene so we use the lights we use the siren we speak to the radio try to prevent it from there but before all of that we call the nine one one we call the authorities we let them know so we get them on the way so you only function in coordination with the actual police well it looks like this is a thing now acetic jews and asian americans have already set up similar organizations but they haven't raised the same number of eyebrows by far so could something like this be coming to your residential neighborhood it's probably only a matter of time table mop and arty new york. something else that's just a matter of time don hawkins will be here in the hot seat to bring you right of state with the latest news headlines in just over thirty minutes.

lastly god between. zero. zero. zero zero to fulfill a period of sort of full schedule it's just pushed right if. you will well jim i knew i needed it wasn't i go to the. losing is it's a field. full of the good of it all you want to solicit the good it would put me on the enemy. enough well it was pretty good way to lose a. kind of what you state which can only be done on

a first come. here do you mean you're learning you know did you storm the lead here sort of my look down from moods sure because you're doing the kluge you're coconspirators smirk. so we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to confront a shouldn't let it be an arms race based on often spearing dramatic to follow can only really engage in. exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. what is it call in decline is magic internet money the new type of digital currency

decentralized digital scarcity chancellor i'm bringing a second bailout for a bank that's called the genesis block for reasons to coin 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 this is columbus discovering a new world this paradigm shifting technology that transforms economics and finance in a heartbeat the apollo eleven landing on to the moon with max and stacey. my seven years doing drugs my nephews was still in drugs my sister just with doing drugs it was like an epidemic of drug abuse america's public enemy number one in the united states is drug abuse we started going after the users in the prison population sewer we started treating sick people people who are addicted to these

drugs like criminals while i was on the hill. in the war on drugs. there are countless numbers of people who are in prison for. sentences for minor minor offenders in the drug trade it's a lot watching your children grow up and miss you in waves and say bye daddy as you're walking out of a business it's just it doesn't get easier. i wonder if the accident now is the comedy show where americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents. seeing as the goons who occupy our white house attempted another takeover of venezuela this week and failed i want to bring you an intimate conversation with one of said goons secretary of state mike pompei

oh pound for pound the man in our government with the most pounds for pound. restall it was here that a q. and a texas a and m. university and sometimes politicians with that those like little q. and a things they forget that they're still meant. let's just say he was a little more honest than usual. when i was a cadet what's the first what's the good at motto west point if you will not lie cheat or steal or tolerate those who do not i was a cia director we lied we cheated we stole. like we had with entire good entire training courses. yes thank you i. completely abandoned my moro no i was an artist which is your war to the cia yeah

a. good you have to admit it's nice to see some honesty he's admitted to being a liar and a thief so therefore let's stop believing the rapid fire bolt sprays out of his bubblehead dead. pedo spent much of the talk discussing venezuela and he was completely forthright and honest about what's going on there literally within a handful of days of the recognition that the crisis the humanitarian element of the crisis in venezuela had spiraled it spiked it had been difficult this is been years in the making. but it had taken them a step change in the wrong direction we were able to move not only food and medicine but water we were able to mobilize airlift from our military c. seventeen s flying to the.
