the opposition leader. president visits military forces who remain loyal to the government. more than one hundred. people in response to cross border rocket fire. u.s. school is considering whether to. dedicate it to founding father george washington . was.

this hard work. tribute to this. part thank. you. for your time. thanks for joining us on the program. and the venezuelan president nicolas maduro on the opposition leader. have coolness supporters to take to the streets. in the country's armed forces to rise up against the government he's expected to make a speech outside a military base at the same time the venezuelan president has called on the forces to be ready for a u.s. military intervention this comes off for a failed coup attempt against him this week meanwhile donald trump have spoken by

phone on a number of global issues that include. the u.s. president said 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 and next week the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov from the u.s. secretary of state will be meeting in finland where they're expected to discuss venezuela as well as the crisis continues in a south american country some in washington have been looking closer to home about where some of the blame lies or i guess the reports. 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 the unspeakable 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 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 in this way it's not only ignorant it's

disgusting congresswoman doesn't know what she's talking about in simpler terms obama is ignorant for saying that u.s. meddling threats sanctions that have deprived venezuelans of desperately need. 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 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 a coup well why do did was call in 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 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 we 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 attempt to storm

a military base fell flat neither did it go peacefully with his supporters firing wildly at police and military them 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. aside from venezuela trying to and also discuss the possibility of a nuclear arms treaty between russia the u.s. and china on america host rick sanchez discussed the prospects with 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 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 when an 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. 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 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 daddy 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. patient which figures like my pump ale 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. israeli military claims to have destroyed it space in gaza in response to cross

border rocket fire the latest their strikes reportedly killed four palestinians including a pregnant woman on the blasts was caught on camera. it was really will planes hit around one hundred twenty targets and destroyed an underground tunnel the turkish news agency says its office came under fire in gaza this comes after more than two hundred rockets were fired into israel injuring two people with more details here's a local journalist. there is a buried of rockets that was launched from the gaza strip towards the central and south israel towns on saturday much full of houses where directly hit and struck by the rockets on the palestinian side we have two different kinds of injuries moderate to critical to the ease rail of forces have launched a lot of air strikes in the in the sky of the gaza strip there is

a lot of tension between israel and gaza now the palestinian factions and israel have been threatening each other all this escalation happens after the four palestinians that have been killed in the friday protests to look them were directly targeted by israeli snipers and two others where. we're 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 two israeli 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. school in san

francisco named after u.s. president george washington may remove a moral commemorating the life of the founding father saw for local activist group deem that it traumatizes students and community. members of the thirteen panel moral and titled the life of george washington dates back to nine hundred thirty six you can see it just here the activist group which includes students and school representatives say the middle portrays native americans and black people as victims and slaves or removing monuments now deemed inappropriate by certain groups has become increasingly common in the united states on various campuses and just two months ago students at the university of mississippi voted to remove a statue of a confederate soldier last year protests broke out at the university of north carolina that resulted in the locking down of locking down of another confederates that you spoke to attorney and author and media analyst lionel about the trend. 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 they 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 we're not talking about george washington high school

who continue their children in george washington high school to continue to stand up and speak out and let their voices be heard in these rogue chu signaling social justice warriors these people who were sold said incident in philly that this paving has been there at george washington high school get ready george washington now must be removed because the east children urged come on let's turn this ugly history on its head and he used this as a launching pad so that people who have been hurt by this country gruesome history can finally begin 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 plate 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 taught treated native americans which is true

is terrible we don't like world war two 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 caught up shortly a correspondent goes for a spin with new york's first ever muslim patrol

a softer this short break. and when else so seems wrong. why don't we just don't. let me. get to seep out just the attic. and it gets me it looks betrayed. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. it has nothing to do with the propaganda that the daily mail is pushing but. population that might be susceptible to 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 and then you make a profit it's cash. it's also environmentally negative you destroy the environment incredibly. international and left wing politician in germany has called for major corporations including b.m.w. to be brought under collective ownership the remarks were made by kevin leader of the social democratic party's youth wing he's vowed to shift the party's policies further to the left since joining the s.p.d. as a youth chief also been a vocal critic of surging rents and big property developers where his latest

comments led many halls of power to distance themselves from him as people of 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 own or without a form of collectivize ation 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 or going as far as to question his mental state what are so nonsense what was you smoking whatever it was it can to be legal the social democrats that kevin community 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 cooling its critics fired up thirty years after the fall of the berlin wall the left wants to return to democratic socialism the heirs pretty leadership must clearly distance itself from such fantasies as you may well imagine people on social media of had plenty to say about mystic units ideas or collectivism. b.m.w. is a great company you know despite the liberal market economy but because of that the dreams of the socialists 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. 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. days 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 and clean it may well be looking to do the same thing peter all over our table it. the universe the movement is trying to keep up the pressure on the french presidents that's the spy to muddle micron's policy proposals last week seeking to ease the long running civil unrest it was the twenty fifth weekend of rallies and saw the lowest turnout so far some activists say that was down to the harsh police response to recent demonstrations this follows brutal

clashes on may day when twenty four thousand people took to the streets. until i learned i was crowned its new king the making marking the beginning of a grand three day ceremony the last time such an event occurred in the country was almost seventy years ago and while the king's reign officially began back in twenty sixteen he still had to complete a number of buddhist brahman rituals these allow him to symbolically transform into a living god and permit him to proclaim himself as the patron of good as a. king ascended to the throne at a time of law and political uncertainty in the country. and you can you see what scheme in new york is promising to help keep local muslims safe in the city to find out more more person was invited on patrol. we know that there has been an increase rated hate crimes and we're just here to help provide any protection we can any safety we can.

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 there are 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. some 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 sharia law and 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 give us you should as long as there's no one in harm or anything then they should be free to do whatever they want. something to do this so you. know. we have muslim community we're told and services we're here to help bridge the community together by the same time we're offering counseling therapy as well as feeding the homeless and many other services as well we are the years and the eyes for the community so we make sure we take in reports of whatever might be happening

from the community local issues that even from the n.y.p.d. 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 now and right that wouldn't really care 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 that 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. r.t. new york. those are the headlines for the south thanks for staying with us from the team and myself join us again with thirty minutes for all the latest updates.

this is a sticker from the water bottle phone in the stomach of a 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 the litter bugs are trying to sway industry shouldn't be blamed for all this waste the company has long promised to reuse the plastic. they're plastic. on my end on a day when you special projects funding me. on i knew that is the end of it for the team but for now the mountains of waste only grow higher.

lastly patted me. on. it. they may. be. this is a period of sort of. similar if you wish but if. you're doing what. you did it was my job of. losing is its ability. to get is that all you want. it was that mean that you all know paul. enough well it was pretty good way to lose a pet when you know kind of what you said to him which could go of it all been done

long ago but i come. here to the room where you're learning you know did you observe the storm in the lead here some i looked up from moods subversion i did in the clue a trick of predatory sinners. what politicians do. to put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to. have to go right to be cross this is what before three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters about how. things should be. my son in this 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 he 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 i increasingly became convinced that the war on drugs was a mistake there are countless numbers of people who are in prison for. certain sins for being 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. max

kaiser this is the kaiser report you know over the years we've covered three stories kind of our signature stories health care america central banks and fracking you know we've been talking about fracking a lot and you know we're going to talk about it again right now stacey yes because you know in the u.k. the fracking czar has quit and she claims that basically she's not able to move forward with fracking because of activists and the u.k. tabloid the daily mail who are very famous for being in bed with the nazis during world war two remember they were promoting the brown shirts and how great the brown shirts were well last week and they said dominic lawson says how the kremlin must be howling with laughter now green zealots has our fracking bonanza so basically he blames kaiser report max kaiser in particular and that you had said that claim that frack are the moral equivalent of paedophiles because fracking is

giving british children cancer and then in order to support his claim that this is just propaganda and that you know we are just pushing lies to stop the u.k. from producing natural gas using fracking methods well he cites nato he says according to. the former secretary general of nato russia as part of their sophisticated information and disinform ation operations in gaze actively with environmental organizations working against shale gas in order to maintain european dependence on imported russian gas so apparently you and i want europe to remain dependent on russian national gas and that's why we talk about the facts that will go over soon i'm humbled to think of the british lives saved by keeping the trackers at bay in the u.k. for a economic reason so it's economically viable number two it's environmental.
