in these and other cool. secure and prosperous and democratic. headlines today just bluffing russia's foreign minister says he doesn't believe that there's any real appetite in the u.s. for military intervention in venezuela. european commission president downplays concerns the euro skeptic parties are said to make him president it gains in the blocks upcoming elections. russia continues to mourn the victims of sunday's plane crash in here moscow which killed forty one including a twelve year old. fellow

there midday here in moscow to choose to the seventh of may live from r t h q it's kevin owen with you this i was world news update thanks for watching russia's foreign minister said that he doesn't believe there's any real support for u.s. military intervention in crisis stricken venezuela even among top officials he says in washington so those comments following talks with his american counterpart might pompei on the sidelines of the arctic forum in finland has got the story. surrogate talked to the media he thought it wasn't a good idea to shed light on any of the details pretty much but he did respond to my question about mike barrows statement from this weekend that russia must get out of venezuela and also about the possibility of cole said intervening militarily when he started his. consent to do this and we tried not to

concentrate on those two incidents which are publicly discussed because they are being affected by many factors that you don't have anything to do was real to exist we concentrated on the real politics in a sense to seclude it from my contacts with the u.s. late an american and european colleagues i don't see any suppose it's moved to reaction immediately after this i asked the russian foreign minister if that included american diplomats and to that he simply answered yes but the real question right now is though whether that is really the case because many times we've heard from the most high ranking officials in america the phrase all options are on the table including the military one and when secretary of state pump ale was heading to europe the journalists were reporting that on the plane he said that nicolas maduro can no longer be in charge of this country the government in

venezuela understands that they could end up having to brace for the worst case scenario just listen to what their foreign minister said when he was in the russian capital on sunday but oh but what good is we are ready for scenarios the first includes diplomacy dialogue and peace and if the u.s. prefers the military response we are ready to resist we have an army police people and we are ready to destroy any army no matter how powerful it is so we said. levy most influential powers on the opposite sides here the government at any cost for door and the self-proclaimed president one quite go are finally in touch on this president donald trump how spoken to president vladimir putin's the top diplomats have met but it is unclear whether that would still lead to a peaceful resolution of this longstanding venezuelan crisis. for bridge to promote

well imbalance and told us he also doesn't believe the united states will actually launch an intervention to topple president nicolas maduro these are empty threats and there are threats all vanity that threats of of looks like the wounded bear wounded live as long as. you can as well in particular with russia and china as support international law i don't see the possibility of an overt u.s. intervention at all because that would be extremely dangerous for the world ability and cause major problems for the american economy in fact if you look at the economic multiplier effect and other financial factors going on at the moment whereby gold is being bought and the dollar is being turned away from except exception so i think it's empty rhetoric rhetoric frankly. if you're a parliamentary elections now less than three weeks away polls are showing that you're a skeptic party is opposed to make i'm president to games and what the findings are

causing concern in some quarters though seems the e.u. chief is more relaxed at the prospect shah the tube and ski reports. the loan bells are sounding in brussels across the european union poll after poll showing voters are looking for change and that change isn't music to the is euro skeptic parties are intent on shaking up the house here in france a recent poll shows marine le pen's national rally could top the ballots edging slightly ahead of president now with public march in italy the two euro skeptic governing coalition parties also set to repeal wards in make his vote and to the north the alternative for germany party believes it's about to build on pass excess it's also taken a stern so germany speak to a membership of the book demanding reform so saying it will campaign to leave the union the real pen since the revolution is underway. in the thesis lucic

anomic social demographic and identity of the disaster our project constitutes a revolution a peaceful democratic revolution aleutian of common sense established god isn't likely to go without a fight but it senses a change in the. standing united makes a strong forward to now country. to change to push forward the european project without giving any ground to those who want to see it fall back in this year or twenty nineteen we must defend against nationalists and the self-centered this is our europe. anyone taking from the e.u. parliament has only limited powers it doesn't even propose the laws that it votes on it's actually the unelected european commission that comes up with those laws which are then flushed out by a different structure the european council along with the european parliament so

despite the polls showing the euro skeptic incumbents are about to shake up the e.u. parliament it seems it won't be. causing many sleepless nights nobody knows this but last time i rejected the can a deceased of six commissioners presented to me by national governments do remember that governments merely propose commissioners it is the president of the commission who accepts them and allocates their responsibilities what the parliament does happen sponsibility for though is amongst other things resolutions and there are hundreds if not thousands of them for example expected recently to place in the new why didn't paul go on sales to saudi arabia because of the concern that they are being used in the war in yemen but this vote doesn't actually compel member states to keep the balance and in fact most haven't some point to a lack of teeth from parliament as being the reason they don't even bother to vote in its elections and in twenty fourteen voter turnout hit

a record low of forty three percent perhaps of the real question is does it matter who you vote for because in reality even a seismic shakeup at any level won't have any impact on the commission nor the council where it seems the power base remey the real engine. was in the commission this is either the end of the e.u. policy the e.u. integration. e.u. policy on for another three years and they are certainly. one of the most. democratic institutions these people totally. and basically accountable to worst you citizens that's why all the strong interest from the e.u. or the like the citizens this is totally disconnected. that they don't feel part

of the debate. russia continues to mourn the death of the forty one who lost their lives after. aeroflot flight crash landed here in moscow on sunday the national carriers sylvie superjet got a difficulty shortly after taking off and was forced to return to show much of a way of port that plane hit the wrong way hard baddest a few times and burst into flames as it careered along with tom it was quickly consumed by the fire most of those who died were from northwestern city the flight was bound for. so she was very sure you. enjoy a nice picture shifters so it's too soon for me to even if you wish to. use it if you still. if you took those three needs it's you. i the rules to come by you can usually get. what you took something to give each of us. must. see.

this implemented in the national forests to. see some of the survivors have returned to motor months to be with their families and have been recounting very harrowing details of the crash of the bravery of the crew in particular flight attendants might seem has been hailed a hero he died trying to open the rear exit door in order to evacuate passengers trapped in the back of that plane. to get into the. damage that at the ideal a dream which began in our school blasted up until that date. will

all see the name she was a very responsible and goal oriented person and she was always ready to take a peek see that's exactly what you showed on that day. she was expected to be at the front of the plane but she switched places with a stewardess perhaps he expected something bad would happen she took the heat and sun. his stayed inside the aircraft and pushed the surviving people along an inflatable round who was inhaling smoke and then lost consciousness. for the little look at his face he always smiled always he avoided conflict he was the kindest person he is looking out from the photo but he can't say

a word and i can't stop looking at him. our course follow him to go down off lex recounts the stories of some of the other people who also lost their lives on sunday. this is. a businesswoman and single mother she was returning from a business trip back to more months back to her ten year old son she was raising on her own somewhere in the same boarding queue with all bina you've given me and twelve year old sophia the surgeon had been giving his daughter and escape from their gloomy northern home town to enjoy a few days in the warmth of the moscow sun now they tiana welcomed beano you've guinea sophia and all of the passengers on board the flight attendant was getting ready for yet another take off now three minutes past six in the evening the aircraft lifted into the skies from sheremetyevo airport a few minutes later than the first seventeen minutes of the flight when small three

passengers in this seats belts fastened the sukhoi superjet ascended approaching a storm and then everything went from ok to bad and then straight to hell literally in a flash to call from the ball to widening the plane and a brand like mean strike hits the jet now more than aircraft have safety systems to protect themselves from situations exactly like these but this time the lightning sends all communications systems on board or fly in the pilot's send a distress signal make a u. turn and head back to moscow apparently they go in almost blind with limited communications they can barely get any aid from the ground they aim for an emergency landing on one of the runways but the aircraft is too heavy minutes ago we've had been filled to the brim and the pilots decided not to dump axes fuel

there's no definitive answer why but the most likely theory so far is the didn't want to risk circling around a bus. an aerial hub with only sporadic contact with the ground so weighty the jets wheels slam into the runway and bounce right off it another attempt and the plane crash lands its tail hits the tarmac with such force it ruptures the tanks and all that fuel instantly catches fire and as the blazing jet slides along the runway the passengers helpless. the jet finally comes to a stop and the evacuation kicks off by that moment the fire had already devoured

the back and the middle emergency exits so there's only one way forward from the nose of the jet but tianna the flight attendant helps people through and down the chutes those who can walk those who can't and are passed out she literally shoves out of the door herself i'm alive only thanks to the stewardesses the girls stood there in the smoke it was dark extremely hot but they pulled people out and helped them get down the chutes now by ti-anna i helped a total of thirty seven people survive the mayhem. you've gainey and sophia were not among them. aboard the boat to be found the. senior once a happy wife and mother in an instant is widowed and left childless for her tragedy

has come calling again she had already lost to a nice alina in a school shooting last year and now it's her husband and daughter and patty i know the unconditional hero she may have survived herself. but she still to make it through the day after day after day of survivor's guilt or into it by the forty one she couldn't help. the plane's black boxes have been recovered and an investigation into the crash is ongoing with jets been removed from the runway to unconfirmed reports in the russian media now suggest that pilot error is the main focus of the investigation as it stands at the moment we asked a vacation expert david gleave his thoughts on what might have gone so badly wrong . i believe the flight control system was working ok but not in the usual mode of operation so it's quite right that the investigation will take some time to look at how the pilots were trained to land the airplane in that particular software

mode there have been some recent accidents some of them seem to be the more the level of electronics in equipment and the pilot training associated with that i would say that also the media are able to pick up and report the accident much more easily so the accident rate is has gone up slightly recently but not significantly so we haven't gone back ten dollar twenty years and we think let's get a little more evidence from the flight recorders in the cockpit voice recorder interviews of the crew and then let the interstate aviation committee discuss with the russian certification committee what should happen to the airplane. straightly in breast cancer has been banned by facebook for violating the platforms rules on nudity to cause controversy will tell about it more on the back.

after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next. different clubs on one hand it is logical to go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective i'm used to surprising. if you think. i'm going to talk about football not the or else you can think i was going to do. by the way ways of the. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport i'm show business i'll see you then.

the u.s. president has threatened to ratchet up tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars worth of imports from china the latest escalation of the trade war between the world's leading economic powers that comes ahead of a week of high level talks between washington and beijing and today ending the conflict with all the story on donald trump's high risk negotiating tactics kellam open now. we're over two years into the presidency of the great deal maker mr air fired himself donald trump and it seems he is operating with the my way or the highway strategy these are his latest comments on china the trade deal with china continues but too slowly as they attempt to renegotiate no trump is threatening a new tariff on over three hundred twenty five billion dollars worth of chinese

goods now this all or nothing strategy seems to be a staple of the trumpet ministration at this point we've got mike pompei o saying that no country will be allowed to import iranian oil any nation or entity interacting with iran should use its diligence and err on the side of caution the risks are simply not going to be worth the benefits if you don't abide by this they'll be sanctions trump has demanded that russia stop supporting the elected government of venezuela with. the russians but no right to get out. i want you next question the u.s. state department has demanded that turkey not by any russian ass four hundred missiles we've also made it clear to turkey that we have very serious concerns with its stated plans to proceed with the acquisition of the russian s four hundred missile defense system trespass threaten the palestinian authority that money is on

the table that money's not going to them unless they sit down and negotiate peace this will make a difference on how americans look at the un and on how we look at countries who disrespect us in the us and this will be remembered this all seems to fit a strategy the trump laid out in his bestseller the art of the deal the worst thing you can possibly do in a deal is seem desperate to make it that makes the other guy smell blood and then you're dead no one can say the united states reeks of desperation. however all of this doesn't seem to be resulting in better deals but rather no deals all the bombastic walk away isn't a rip up severs all did in no progress trump says my way or the highway and people around the world generally take the highway countries around the world are still buying iranian oil russia is still supporting venezuela at this point turkey says it still intends to buy s.

four hundred missiles from russia and furthermore at the palestinians are sticking to the same firm position that they held before and while he's failing to make new deals trump seems to be breaking a lot of the old ones the united states will therefore suspend its obligations under the i.m.f. treaty the united states will withdraw. from the paris. climate of court. i am announcing today that the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal yeah the tough guy stuff might have worked pretty well when trump was selling real estate on madison avenue but is it going to work in geopolitics let's see what china does next. to me one. time that we. need in the who have. the move. he made or.

even made in the. global there would be a market in may of trying to be the oil the aid group would be trying to train well who. could. facebook's provoke some of the storm of controversy this to time by banning in australia a breast cancer campaign that it claims is violating its needed to rules. it is a good. move. well those are the topless survivors of breast cancer they cover themselves in small cakes the campaign was launched by the breast cancer network australia together with the bakers delight chain last year it raised more than half a million dollars. the c.e.o. of breast cancer network australia said that facebook previously approved but then

later said violated its policy. we were so disappointed to hear that facebook had found that our very brave women and men who all had breast cancer we're told that they were probably too real and to confronting to be able to have paid on facebook particularly in that forty plus age group use facebook to tell their friends and family of things that are important to them so facebook has been important we have a plane trying to get in contact with facebook and still we have only heard through the made here in fact here in australia that they sent to us we needed to add educational messages this was very new news to us the only thing that we knew is that in april the ads were allowed to happen but then again the day that we launched facebook said these ads were no longer permissible while a spokesperson for facebook has to said that while she personally love the idea of

the ads didn't follow the platform's guidelines seems the policy goes allow for the posting of post mustek to me photos for ordinary users but for advertisers the rules are stricter is how twitter users have been reacting to water but. violated the platform's nudity policy facebook seriously but this is ok this is not to read to facebook naked garden day takes precedence over a fundraiser for a cancer survivors and suffers this only illustrates the true agenda of the facebook mission statement so when a group use the facebook forum for a good cause they jump and it's been shifted down we saw the human rights attorney jennifer braden about it she thinks that facebook needs to avoid selectively enforcing its rules. facebook right now say that it has a consistent policy if you just look at the language of its policy but it is not consistent and how it in forces its policy is targeting in campaigns like this with breast cancer research or awareness but it's also targeting different political

groups and certain things so it needs to look at how it targets so that it chooses to enforce its ban under because there are many people who have far more explicit ads that are not banned we're seeing that america has a silence prominent conservative voices were saying that as they silence other things other ads and they target these people they target those that they want to silence that differ with them politically or socioeconomically and that is not ok we need to have consistency and we need to have platforms that allow the freedom of speech to come out rather than silencing the freedom of speech and using it under the guise of violating policies. you can come into the most towards a cause check out the door call me if you don't know to get will break in headlines as they have a right to mobile device it's twenty six months ago time thank you for watching out international with me kevin i would but with more half an hour.

this is broadcasting around the world and covering the world of business and finance and the empacher upon us all i'm kristie i and i'm daniel britto in washington we're glad you're on board coming up trumps chair of talks are taking off and it's affecting everything from oil to geopolitics. and chris martenson of the prosperity join us to break it down a lot on several fronts plus the ramp up of tariffs is riling markets around the globe what is the state of trading today tom gindalbie of three bridges financial one hand to sift through the shake up all that directly ahead but first we had some headlines let's go. a last minute snag in the u.s. china trade talks lead to. global report today is u.s. president donald trump threatens to increase turf rates and apply them to virtually all chinese exports to the u.s. for now the process seems to be on track but twitter threads over the weekend are moving markets on monday the shanghai composite plunged five point six percent

while the dow fell as much as four hundred and seventy points before rebounding the markets are reacting sharply to the sudden increase risk of a full on u.s. china trade war as a standoff creates a huge uncertainties for companies trying to decide where they to buy supplies build factories and make investments these strong tariffs on steel aluminum solar panels they fall entirely on the u.s. consumers and businesses who buy the imported products studies show that by the end of last year consumers were paying three billion a month in higher taxes and absorbing one point four billion a month in lost efficiency this threat from trump was a big surprise for the markets following weeks of so-called positive developments and updates it really is unclear right now whether the threat was a shift in position or just a negotiating tactic it could be that this new threat is nothing more than an attempt to extract a few more concessions in the final days of talks here to give us the.
