now wednesday eighty eighth thanks very much for joining us before we get on to a headline news some details coming in to us from the u.s. state of colorado two people reportedly injured in a school shooting in a suburb in the city of denver that's in the western state of colorado police have arrested two people and are searching for a third possible suspect the local sheriff's office describes the situation as unstable schools in the area have been placed on lockdown i understand that the sheriff's office is giving a media briefing when we get more details on that we will of course let you know. meeting face to face the u.s. secretary of state could be set for talks with russian president vladimir putin that's according to the kremlin spokesman who says it could happen in the next few weeks and a concert of the house more on a possible step forward in u.s. russia relations. i'm eating between the russian president and the u.s.

secretary of state a mike pompeo may happen as early as this month in may washington's top diplomat plans to meet with the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov and the resort city of saatchi and now the kremlin says a parallel meeting where the president could take place there to now this will be pumped first visit to russia as the u.s. secretary of state lavrov did however just to meet with him at the arctic summit and fenlon sound that the meeting showed that the two countries are still struggling to find common ground on a range of issues not only on van as well but the use of the arctic as well we're concerned about russia's claim over the international waters of the northern sea route including its newly announced plans to connect it with china's maritime silk road. in the northern sea route moscow already illegally demands other nations request permission to pass the u.s. secretary of state also added that partly in response to russia's so-called

destabilizing activities they are hosting a military exercises and rebuilding their eyes breaker fleet now moscow believes that there are no grounds for any conflicts in the arctic region and also adds that it remains open for international cooperation. the root is a russian national transport on three we as a coastal state are acting in full compliance with international law all responsible for the safe operation of this route just as canadians are responsible for the functioning of the northwest passage. and the past several months diplomacy . seems to still prevail in the relations between the two countries both sides were seen in contact more often than usual with the u.s. and the russian president recent telephone conversation that lasted over an hour an example of that so it does seem that the timing for the u.s.

secretary of state of this it at least follows this trend as moscow and washington continue to be at loggerheads over a number of global issues. we heard from the director of the oxford crisis research institute who told us the u.s. doesn't actually stand to benefit much from the control to see over the arctic route. i find it difficult to see why my point has made such a big issue of this octave group question because it seems to me that potentially creates more trouble than it benefits the united states after all it's unlikely that it's going to change either the climate changes which make this route open more likely to be open and also the chinese russian policy it could be a bargaining chip or it could be that the americans are saying well it's throw down a gauntlet in fact we're not really so concerned so that we can say to the russians and by extension the chinese if you can see if we can see this to you you should give us some help somewhere else in a different part of the world. he outcomes but not for everyone's eyes apparently

the u.s. state department published and quickly deleted a report allegedly detailing washington's pressure tactics to bring down the venezuelan president nicolas maduro the document reportedly outlines a number of u.s. goals in a bid to topple the official government in caracas and included creating the grounds for economic ruin through sanctions with over three billion dollars worth of venezuelan assets frozen and or production cut and the u.s. government allegedly highlights announcing himself as interim president as a key outcome but the pop the publication did apparently suggest that the united states a was to get the latin american country back on its feet one outcome highlight was bringing prosperity to the people of venezuela but that comes as the trump of ministration continues to mull over a possible military intervention in the country. what would make you use the u.s. military in venezuela it's an option we continue to say and we always will all

options are on the day of all options are on the table all options are on the table all options are on the table all options are on the table because they always or we've asked the u.s. state department to comment on their deleted report we haven't heard anything on that yet but we did speak last hour to max blumenthal he's the investigative journalist and editor of gray zone dot com the web site the publish the deleted report in full. really reveals the pride in the state department and harming venezuela's economy and the contradiction. it contradicts the public messaging of the state department through. spokespeople like kimberly brier who tweeted several days ago that one. and his fake government is administration have delivered tangible results for the people of venezuela and she mentioned the delivery of seven thousand two hundred packets of toilet paper to venezuelan families compare that to preventing three point two billion dollars of assets that could be used to buy food from being accessed by the government and it's just

unbelievable the contradiction is extreme and that's one reason why they deleted this document that our reporter on your part until obtained they are trying to create the impression among the american public that the sanctions are only targeting the duros inner circle but this state department document that we have today and makes it clear that they are targeting the civilian population in venezuela just as they're doing in iran and that is their clear intention to cause pain on people regardless of their political leanings to achieve a political goal of regime change meantime a new report claims that leading us media have demonstrated clear bias in the coverage of the crisis in venezuela here's a look at the findings of the media watchdog fairness and accuracy in reporting.

what would make you use the u.s. military and if they'll listen to what 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 deserve but there was a legitimate there needs to be a due to the government's. 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 a media point of view don't you think one of the first question that he should ask is by what authority do you establish or does mr white 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 majority of ministration being removeable so where is the balance. well we've asked a number of us media outlets for their reaction to the war stories findings on the allegations of bias well you know what they say if they get back. next the powerful officials has been named the european leader of the year by international news channel euro news the european business summit now is perhaps not the most anticipated awards ceremony on the calendar that hasn't stopped her from enjoying his moment as peter all of the reports. well in picking up his awards at the bash in brussels the president of the european commission was full of jokes he was very happy to receive the water of course but that it had come so late in his career that it was almost at the point of autopsy he also went on to praise the work that the european commission had been doing under his leadership of course saying that

the fact you've been given this award meant they've clearly done a good job booked not everybody was pleased to see you receive this gong the newspaper in the united kingdom the sun well they poked lights at they so ward and also the rumor that mr young is partial to a brandy or two also the british m.p. kevin holland rake described it as an april fool's joke but he's never been a shrinking violet and he's certainly provided us with plenty of entertainment through the years especially while he's been in charge of the european commission.

claude young cool stepped down as european commission president on november the first there's a lot to go on between now and then he certainly ruffled a fair few feathers on the brakes at supporting side of the divide in the united kingdom during breaks that negotiations on tuesday he got a little bit further saying that he deeply regretted that himself and the european union hadn't got more involved in the break that referendum campaign back in two thousand and sixteen. then prime minister asked me not to interfere not to intervene in the referendum campaign it was a mistake not to intervene and not to interfere because we would have been the only ones to destroy the lies that were circulated around i was wrong to be silent at an

important moment those comments of course i'm sure will go down really well with those breaks at supporting any peace that are going to be standing in european elections they never thought they were going to have to take part in in just a few weeks time at the end of the month. the director of the risk analysis group pangea wired told us the money will be unhappy with him going from marks about meddling in bricks it the key word that some people may take umbrage to is interfering i think they had an agreement with their economy beforehand that they were stateside and that the u.k. take care of us or all of this hoping that you know the truth will come out oh yeah oh for sure that wasn't the case and now he's coming up with these words perhaps you know as regret as you mention but there's nothing you can do about that so his legacy will be determined by what happens with briggs to maintain its solid position throughout this tumultuous time and he's made his decision very clear he's

representing the you and the positions on the north up to the u.k. to get their act together to really come up with something that is agreeable but all signs are. russia is in mourning after a deadly plane crash which killed forty one on board over the weekend a wide ranging investigation is underway and we'll tell you what we know after the break. this is a sticker from the water bottle found 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 should be blamed for all this waste the company has long promised to reuse the plastic. soon as it's. found in maine that seems cool sets their classes to seek a close ally and only stay on your own that essentially objects from the me tell

the difference and also agree on the new best that is the end of a fully tea cup for now the mountains of waste only grow higher. munchies holiday international memorial awards twenty nineteen are now open for entries the media professionals are eligible for whether you are a freelance journalist work for alternative media or part of a global news conference to participate send us your published works and video all written for. go to award dot altie dot com and enter now. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next about 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 the fresh perspective i'm used to surprising people and i saw

why not if you think. i'm going to talk about football marvie. or else if you think i was going to do. by the way what is the fly here. hello again russia's morning the forty one people who lost their lives after an aeroflot flight crash landed in moscow on sunday one of the victims was a twenty two year old flight attendant actually morsi have many of held him a hero for sacrificing himself in order to get others to safety actually as mother has spoken to are up a new video agency about the moment she found out the tragic news. here with knowledge to me because i know i found out from my husband he called me and said that it was all over the t.v. and internet that a plane had caught fire we immediately matt and went to look for much steam and hospital we want around all the hospitals but he wasn't anywhere. the arraf lots of

toys superjet got into difficulties shortly after taking off and was forced to return to moscow's sheremetyevo airport the plane hit the runway hard and burst into flames as it bounced along the tarmac it was quickly consumed by the fire as many of those who died were from the man sixteen northwestern russian city the flight was bound for many of the thirty seven survivors are spoken about their ordeal and play praised the young flight attendant for saving their lives. it is either that or the. damage that they were an idealist dream which began in our school we lost it up until that day. at the end and them was a very sickly simple and goal oriented person who was always ready to take the sea

that's exactly what you showed on that day. a little bit it's. expected to be at the front of the plane but he switched places with the stewardess perhaps he expected something bad would happen he took the heat himself. who stayed inside the aircraft and pushed the surviving people along and for you to be around he was inhaling smoke and then lost consciousness. or. disappearing and you always smiled always he would conflict he was the kind of person he is looking out from the photo but he can't say a word and i can't stop looking at him. maxime's mother told us her son's heroic actions were not out of character. and spot sellers

in the game i mean she'd already saved one person a man was drowning in crimea he was choking. and fifteen but he dragged him to shore that he didn't consider it a big deal it was just a thing you have to do as he always thought the people should help others who do good deeds that he didn't offend anyone he was spoke to people with respect he was simply kind to people on the radio he always did everything that he has enough money so the family would have enough x. that none of us needed anything. else but there the sick but maybe years even now i just don't believe he's not here i just don't believe that. every second i think there will come home soon he'll be with us. the next day course dollar accounts 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 all bina you've given me and twelve year old sofia 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 other 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 went smoothly 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 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 of 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 tiana the flight attendant helps people through and down the chutes those who can walk those who can't and 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 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 or entered by the forty one

she couldn't help. the plane's flight data and cockpit voice recorders have been recovered in a far reaching investigation is now on the way the wreckage of the plane has also been removed or forensic examination. ok back to the school shooting in colorado that we told you about at the start of the bulletin at least two people are said to been injured in gunfire at this school in a suburb of denver which is the state capital of colorado this is what's happening right now outside that campus it's just about twelve miles south of colorado and you can see the emergency vehicles there where you can see that have been lines of fire trucks police cars and there is also an emergency helicopter landed in a nearby field as well it's the stem school highlands ranch that's a science technology and mathematics and engineering college that's the four disciplines they specialize in and according to that school's website they've got about eight hundred or more students ranging from kindergarten through middle

school and also up to twelve grade as well to high school level two as things stand at the moment according to the sheriff's office two people are in custody and they are currently seeking a possible third shooter in that incident two people injured there may be more but only two people have been mentioned at this stage what's also chilling for people in that area of course is just over twenty years ago. about eight miles south of that campus the columbine high school where two gunman killed twelve students and a teacher before killing themselves a little bit chilling reminder for the people in that part of the world in this particular incident though it's really just coming up to her past three there was a couple of hours ago that police and emergency services were alerted to gunfire at the campus in that school highlands ranch near denver. as the column of emergency services that i was talking about these the latest pictures that we got in the past half hour here will keep watch on what's happening there two people injured at the moment two people in custody of or it is

a currently seeking of the sheriff's office described the situation as active and unstable we'll keep watch on that for you here on r.t. international. so for now i'll have your next world news here on c.n.n. just over thirty four minutes time see them. when the little old lady think that it was the.

war in memory today marks the seventy fourth anniversary of victory over fascism in europe the end of that conflict created the modern world order and it still doubts . after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the ball different clubs on one hand it is logical to start off on fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective i'm used to surprising people and i saw why not if you think. i'm going to talk about football not the or else you just think i was going to go. by the way ways of that slide here. during the great depression which i'm old

enough to remember that it was and most of my family were unemployed or people and other wasn't it was bad you know much worse objectively than today but there was an expectation that things were going to get better. and there was a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america where shape my the turn principles of concentration of wealth and power. grid. democracy attack solo doubt engineer elections manufacture consent another prince holds according to know on. one set of rules for the rich opposite several from. the that's what happens when you put her into the. narrows. we'll switch will is dedicated to increasing power for chills just as you'd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of

america. this is a period of sort of full scale the fifty first but if. somebody needed it was and i go to. look. is its ability. to get rid of that all laong so this that they go to the banana at us that it's a liberal socialist that. went on but well it was pretty good way to lose a pet her own kind of what you stand to which could be a hope of coming down but i come. here do you believe you're going to go do you do you still on the ledge here so my look to the mood should better during the clue which are coconspirators some are going to be.
