these. are headline stories this hour russia's foreign minister if he doesn't believe there's a real time. for a military intervention in. the question is. also a. european commission president. parties are set to make. sure. in which killed forty one people including a twelve year old girl. around

the clock across the world this is our international from the team myself you know neal hello and welcome to our top story russia's foreign minister has said he does not believe there's any real support for a u.s. military intervention in crisis stricken venezuela even among top officials in washington. made the comments following talks with his american counterpart mike pump ale on the sidelines of the arctic forum in finland. picks up the story. but. it wasn't a good idea to shed light on any of the details pretty much but he did respond to my question about my statement from this weekend that russia must get out. of venezuela and also about the possibility of on call said

intervening militarily things that are loose. consent to do this and we tried not to concentrate on those statements which are publicly discussed because they are being affected by many factors the don't have anything to do with real politics concentrators and real politics incentives from my contacts with the us late an american and european colleagues i don't see any suppose it's moved to reaction and media at the 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 public pale 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 mistletoe put it but oh but what good is it we are ready for all scenarios the first includes diplomacy dialogue and peace if the u.s. prefers the military path we're ready to resist we have an army police our people and we are ready to destroy any army no matter how powerful it is so essentially the most influential powers on the opposite sides here the government at any cost durrell and the self-proclaimed president one are finally in touch on this president donald trump has spoken to president fly out of our pollutant the top diplomats have met but it is unclear whether that would still lead to

a peaceful resolution of this longstanding venezuelan crisis. well that all comes as being talking through a new report which claims that many leading u.s. publications have demonstrated clear bias in their coverage of the crisis in venezuela here's a look now at the findings of the media watchdog furness. and reporting. al.

what would make you use the u.s. military and it's well what's in it well i think you're saying that but certainly it's something that's on the it's an option and the national assembly has determined that the election of president was or missouri was illegitimate there needs to be a new to the government. why

so allergic to the word coup if you look at the definition because they recognize that these words have a meaning long as you don't say what it is you can a lie about just from the media point of view don't you think one of the first question anybody should ask is by what authority do you establish or does mr why those say i have the ability to supplant this person they ask no questions i find it fascinating. that the media not known for being poor. is so dare i say willing to support the position of the tribe of ministration regarding the euro administration be. removeable so where is the balance where we have asked a number of us media outlets for comment on the watchdogs findings on the of bias

we will let you know what they say. with europe's parliamentary elections now less than more three weeks away now the polls are showing that euro skeptic parties are poised to make on precedents of gains and while the findings are causing concern in some quarters the e.u.'s chief appears more relaxed at the prospect r.t. charlotte examines why there might be. 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 hearing from a recent poll shows marine le pen's national rally could top the ballot edging slightly ahead of president backbones republic march in italy the two euro skeptic governing coalition parties also set to reap the rewards 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 taking a stand so germany's future membership of the book demanding reforms are saying equal campaign to leave the union really penned since the revolution is underway. in the face of this economic social demographic and the identity of the disaster our project constitutes a revolution a peaceful democratic revolution. of commonsense 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 euro. anyone taking from the e.u.

parliament has only limited powers it doesn't even propose the laws that. it's actually the unelected european commission 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 canada cease of six commissioners presented to me by national governments do remember that governments merely propose commissioners it is the president of the commission who accept our cage their responsibilities what the parliament does have the ability for though is amongst other things a resolutions and there are hundreds if not thousands of them for example it's voted 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 shake up at any peace level won't have any impact on the commission nor the council where it seems the power base weenie. real engine. was in the commission this is either the end of the. e.u. integration. e.u. policy on for another three years and. certainly. it's one of the most undemocratic. totally.

basically count of the worst you citizens that's why all the wrong inference from the e.u. or the like the citizen this is totally disconnected interests that don't feel part of the debate. russia is mourning the deaths of the forty one people who lost their lives. i was after an early flight flying crush landed in moscow on sunday the national carrier sukhoi superjet got into difficulty shortly after taking off and was forced to return to share a mess of the earth port the plane hit the runway hard on burst into flames as a bun stole long the tarmac it was quickly consumed by the fire most of those who died were from or months in the northwestern city the flight was bound for. surely. the journey she should shift is what you need for me to eat you wish to.

reduce the age to. if you produce theory needs to use. the rules to come play you should these should it take. to get you to see did you teach you so. much. this is an. excellent good. some of the survivors have returned to murmansk to be with their families and i've been recording the. details of the russian recalling the bravery of the crew in particular a flight attendant mike seymour i see have been hailed a hero he died trying to open the rear exit door in order to evacuate passengers

trapped at the back of the plane. to get into that over. time instead of at the ideal a dream which began in our school last today up until that day. he was a very responsible and goal oriented person and he was always ready to take a bit see that's exactly what you showed on that day. he was expected to be at the front of the plane but he switched places with a stewardess perhaps he expected something bad would happen he took the heat and sun. has stayed inside the

aircraft and pushed the surviving people along the new flight of all round it was inhaling smoke and then lost consciousness. for the little look at his face he always smiled always he wanted conflicts 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. yeah and that's why he's being labeled a hero igor should all of has been recounted as well the stories of some of the other people who 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 well being or you give 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 takeoff 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 streak 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 communication systems on board of line the pilots 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 access 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. 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 tiana the flight attendant helps people through and down the chutes those who can walk those who can't and are 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. the way to get out of the. senior one say 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 the unconditional hero she may have survived herself. but she's still to make it through the day after day after day of survivor's guilt haunted by the forty one she couldn't help. the plane's black boxes have been recovered while an investigation into the crash is ongoing the jet's been removed from the runway.

and we're back in the middle with more world news from r.t. if you stay with us. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and should. want.

to do like to be crooks that's what the full story of the more people. interested in the logs it. brings into the second part of today's program the u.s. president tells threaten to ratchet up tar of some hundreds of millions of dollars worth of imports from china the latest escalation in the trade war between the world's leading economic powers comes ahead of high level talks between washington and beijing aimed at ending the calm flick with more on the story donald trump's i

risk negotiating tactics here. 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 trump administration 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 that 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 several salted 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 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. r.t. new york. moving on the facebook because provoked another storm of controversy this time by battling an australian breast cancer campaign it states was violating its nudity rules. but. the odds feature top of the survivors of breast cancer they're covering themselves with small cakes the campaign was launched by breast cancer network australia together with the bakers to light chain last year raise more than half a million australian dollars cricinfo etsy the c.e.o. of breast cancer network history say that facebook had previously approved b.s. but later the violate its policy. we were so disappointed to hear that

facebook had found that our very brave women and men who all had breast cancer were told that they were probably too real into confronting to be able to have paid ads 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 all the ads were allowed to happen but then again the day that we launched facebook said these ads were no longer permissible for a spokesperson for facebook australia has said that while c personally love the idea of the arms did not follow the platforms guidelines the policy does allow for

the posting of posts must to me photos for ordinary users but for advertisers rules are stricter here so twitter users have been reacting to what's occurred violated the platforms needed to policy facebook seriously but this is ok this is not to return facebook naked garden indeed takes precedence over a fundraiser for cancer survivors and sufferers 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 spoke to a human rights attorney jennifer britton she thinks that facebook needs to avoid so lect of lee enforcing its rules. facebook would 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 in 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 seen that is 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 socio economically 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 the right is probably the most famous soft drink in the world but i'm much is that doing to the glove of clogging up the plumbing solutions or documentary coca cola's hidden secret starts in moment.

this if i'll go through a period of sort of little while to see whether it's just pushed right if. you're doing what you know will bolt to my door knew that it wasn't i go to the wellness look. losing is its ability. to get rid of that all you want to go to the banana and that's that it's a reversal it was bad. enough well it was pretty good way to lose a. kind of what you still do which because you know i would only be done well but i come. here do you mean you're learning your own. story on the lead here so i'm i look down from moods should bear should you in the clue that you're coconspirators snuggery.

you know world of big part of the lot and conspiracy 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 bats and 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 for watching closely watching the hawks. film begins in hawaii in the middle of the pacific ocean in spite of the island's remote location it is also foreman that dim to the epidemic of the twentieth century plastic.

and plastic pollution is littering beaches and endangering certain species of animals no matter how remote or out of reach. in this elaborate tree in the north of the occupied ago scientists study marine animals not plastic at least in theory. no idea at that. but it's certainly plastic. and jessica perelman is a biologist accustomed to finding plastic in fish stomachs she has started a very unique collection. casually often plastic bags. and this was off of a stomach when i found it had no idea.
