well. in the week's top stories investigations continue into a plane crash in russia they killed 41 people the aeroflot eyeliner burst into flames whilst making an emergency landing in moscow. iran partially suspends the 2015 nuclear agreement and gives its signatories 60 days to shield the country from the u.s. sanctions it comes as washington reaffirms its threat to slap him with them and either company's big continue to work with to iraq. and russia marks

the 74th anniversary of the copy i capitalized the not rich a laser not naughty germany with military parades unceremoniously we'll bring you some of the highlights from those days courage. to. a warm welcome to you you're watching the weekly here and i see international bringing you all the latest headlines and a roundup of the stories that shape the week but 1st the u.s. secretary of state might pompei over has canceled his visit to moscow shojo for this monday and that's according to a state department official cited by the media instead he will go to brussels to discuss tensions with iran however pompei owes trip to salt she to meet top russian officials will still go ahead. and secretary plans to meet russian president vladimir putin and foreign minister sergey lavrov that this tuesday. well several

days ago minister lavrov and secretary pompei o held talks on the crisis in venezuela it happened on the sidelines of an arctic council meeting in finland and comes after an alleged couper attempt was thwarted in the latin american country among the issues addressed during the finland talks was the possibility of u.s. military action in venezuela the trunk of a pause. the number 1 diplomats 3 of america and russia have finally met and we were hoping to understand if there is at least a slight chance that moscow and washington could be on the same page when it comes to venice well off well it's like the pale didn't speak to journalists at all after this here in finland but when. i 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 my pump barrow's statement from this weekend that russia must get out of venezuela and also about the possibility of cool sam intervening militarily when these photos. consume through 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 was real politics we concentrated on the real politics in the sense from my contacts with the u.s. 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 pump air 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 he believes he is simply not able to do that even though he is the. leader of the country and i can tell you that 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. we are ready for all scenarios the 1st includes diplomacy dialogue and peace and 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

with dural and the self-proclaimed president one why do so are finally in touch on this president donald trump how spoken to president vladimir putin the top diplomats have met but it is unclear whether that would still lead to a peaceful resolution of this longstanding venezuelan crisis. this week iran announced it would no longer honor all of its commitments and that the historic 2050 nuclear agreement it came precisely one year after the u.s. unilaterally pulled out of the deal something that has hit 2 rounds economy hard and heightened international tensions iran is now threatening to keep access in which to rainy and stocks in the country rather than sell them abroad so wrong as those that given the pact signatories it 2 months to ensure they were holding their side of the deal or it will resume production of more highly enriched uranium the

move met with a mixed reaction from europe and a new round of sanctions from washington. the united states wanted to pull out of it in a superior way in order to make iran withdraw from the deal the day after so the us would be able to refer the case to the un security council that sought to ease the burden on the shoulders of the u.s. to redouble and ratchet up the pressure on iran iran did not fall into this trap wolf. we have continued to say actually every that leads us to believe that there is escalation that may be taking place and so we're taking all the appropriate actions both from a security perspective and well as. our ability to make sure that the present has a wide range of options and they made this up that should actually take place what we've been trying to do is to get around to be him like a normal nation. unfortunately this is typical of our american colleagues during my meeting with u.s. secretary of state my company all in finland on monday i called on him to employ

diplomacy rather than you should dress when it comes to challenging situations. we urge the iranians to think very long and hard before they break that deal. nothing could be worse than iran leave in the agreement there are no sanctions today from europe because iran has so far all resource back to the commitments whole lot is rick sanchez discussed iran's threats to restart its nuclear program with 5 mohammad marandi of the university of tehran who helps negotiate the iran nuclear deal. even insiders here in washington with think tanks representing organizations like carnegie endowment are now saying the troubled ministration is being quote deliberately provocative but we ask the question tonight is iran acting in a manner deserving of u.s.

and israeli condemnation or are both countries simply trying to provoke busy the iranians into a war much like our invasion of iraq some are criticizing the 1st question why is president rouhani threatening to restart the iranian your rating and richmond program. well i think it's pretty obvious the iranians negotiated the nuclear deal after many years of negotiations and the iranians made. significant concessions they were flexible in order to show the international community that its nuclear program never was anything but peaceful and that iran contrary to what we honestly heard in the western media was not looking to create tension i'm going to back you up on this actually 14 reports by the international nuclear energy agency 14 are confirming that iran has not violated the agreement at

is not building a nuclear program why didn't the obama administration the trumpet ministration or the netanyahu administration buy that why did they believe it why do they say differently. and i think the intelligence agencies knew exactly what was happening and i think that they knew quite well that the nuclear program was peaceful the united states government and the political establishment really never forgave iran after the revolution and the fact that iran chose an independent foreign policy but right now what trump is after in the opinion of many. people iran is not to limit the nuclear program but according to what we see. coming from bolton and impale it is basically to not just overthrow the political establishment but there was even talk about trying to make iran as a nation collapse altogether. investigations are continuing into what

caused last sunday's plane tragedy in moscow leaving 41 people dead the air a flight airliner burst into flames while making an emergency landing at sheremetyevo airport in the capital just to warn you the following clip contains some disturbing images. if you are a. little. bit like it is. a plane took off just after 6 pm local time it was heading for the city of moment skin northwest russia just under 20 minutes later the pilots alerted air

seems much of the media and democratic leadership are throwing their weight behind the former cellar sir as they once did with hillary clinton hello wolf and here's what. a new poll shows that joe biden has surged ahead in the race for the democratic nomination in 2020 the poll shows that 46 percent of democrats are backing joe biden as the potential nominee with only 14 percent backing bernie sanders and despite a lot of other polls telling a very different story the media has jumped on this one voices are now telling us why he's the best choice for the democrats and this is a guy who doesn't have a republican but you see some of the folks on the website you meant for joe biden is that he's the most electable candidate for democrats to beat donald trump i think joe biden is a best chance of success does this sudden coronation remind you of anything. hillary clinton is the best candidate democrats can put forward a take on donald trump voters in wisconsin think hillary clinton is the best

candidate hillary clinton is the best candidate the media tells us that joe biden is the most experienced candidate furthermore it stresses the point that biden is a centrist he's actually kind of a central a centrist which is one of the reasons why i think republicans fear him more than the other hillary clinton is not threatened in terms of the nomination because she is a pretty moderate centrist democrat and in fact biden's 1st campaign fundraiser happened at the home of the exact same guy his name is david cohen he's the chief lobbyist for the media conglomerate known as comcast now both biden and clinton voted for the iraq war both biden and clinton have lots of wall street donors and both biden and clinton screamed to lock him up in the 1990 s. driving america's incarceration rate sky high trumps a victory in the 26th election was interpreted largely as a rebuke of a failing political establishment now hillary clinton's husband got some interesting advice years ago my wife gave me

a psychology book several months ago in which the author defined insanity is doing the same thing over and over and over again and expecting a different result perhaps it's time to revisit that book polls are often a reflection of media coverage and the corporate media in the united states love suman gives him lots of coverage and that can give him support in polls and they also poll likely democratic voters which is not the same thing as who actually ends up voting in a generalization even just who answers polls is not the same thing as who votes clinton she was the most experienced and the most right wing of the democrats the media loves turbot he didn't mean she could get elected in fact the polls were overwhelmingly clear time and time again b.d. of appreciate them if there are massive purchases of advertise. as joe biden 2020 has already engaged in of what the media like someone and telling everyone they are

the leading candidate as they did overwhelmingly with hillary clinton does not mean anyway obvious mean that that is the candidate who is going to win the election. question marks the 74th anniversary of nazi germany surrender on thursday on the end of the war on the eastern front here's a look back at the commemorations. it's very difficult to describe the atmosphere here it's it's job electric is intense but that the super rich excitement up excitement just released during the break itself. we were looking forward to

your run of beer for your rio are. you here now or do you seriously ready for serious hussein. nothing unites this country more then the aborts whole regiment march every time i see this i just don't understand when the flow of the crowd is going to stop its endless. victory day holds a special place here in russia due to the incredibly high price. paid by the people of the soviet union and the 26000000 died in the conflict more than half of them were civilians that meant that practically every family lost somebody. one of the

bloodiest battles in the history of mankind took place installing ground in southern russia now known as volgograd it lasted for 200 days between 942 and 943 and post the red army more than 1100000 soldiers germany's losses were even higher are losing the battle the nazi leadership even declared a day of national mourning many historians see the battle of stalingrad as a watershed moment to that dramatically altered the course of the war even now hovering reminders of the trauma inflicted by the war are emerging. with sunni collab each dig in and the last one left i've been injured and will not last long.

but i will stay here i will die when i refused to give in to the enemy tell my wife that i was defending the mother like. my. you will win no matter what. the venture my comrades. i am. facebook has provoked another storm of controversy this time my banning an australian breast cancer advertising campaign for violating its rules on nudity. because. the ads feature

topless survivors of breast cancer are covering themselves with small cakes the campaign was launched by the breast cancer network australia together with the bakers delight chain last year it weighs more than half a 1000000 dollars the chief executive of breast cancer network australia says that facebook previously approved the advertisements. 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 into confronting to be able to have on facebook particularly in that 40 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 been 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 those ads were no longer permissible a spokesperson for facebook australia says that while she personally loved the idea didn't follow platform guidelines the policy does allow for the posting of posts must text me photos by ordinary people but for advertisers rules are stricter here's our facebook users have been reacting. violated the plans for you to policy facebook seriously but this is ok this is not to route to facebook naked gardening day takes precedence over a fundraiser for cancer survivors and sufferers. strange 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 with most human rights attorney

jennifer brita 2 things but the point is to why the concerns with the social media giant. facebook right now say that it has 6 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 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 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 thanks for watching on the international my colleague

andre from i will be with you in 30 minutes with elected. what politicians do something that. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or something i want to. have to go right to the press was like before 3 in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the house. first sitting. in 2040 you know bloody revolution to the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it just go ahead i mean you are liz put video through in

the new bill is that i mean you split needle the former ukrainian president recalls the events of 2014. of those who took the boat had invested over $5000000000.00 to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. votes seemed wrong but all roles just don't call. me that yet to say proud to stay because that's ok and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.

when lol make this manufactured sentenced to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go round listen to the one percent. with no middle of the room sick. kind of financial survival job today was all about money laundering 1st to visit discussion the 3 different. oh good this is a good start well we have our 3 banks all set up here maybe something in your something in america something overseas or the cayman islands or do we do all these banks are complicit in their tough talk received a softer give mccoll and say hey i'm ready to do some serious money laundering ok

let's see how we did while we've got a nice luxury watch for max and for stacy oh beautiful jewelry and how about. luxury automobile again for max you know what money laundering is highly illegal. much kaiser of course. there is one organized force which traditionally plenty of fluids but with all its flaws it's been in the forefront of the. efforts to improve the lives of the

general population that's organized labor it's also a barrier to corporate tyranny so it's the one barrier to this vicious cycle going on which does lead to corporate tyranny. of the major reason for the concentrated on us fanatic attack on unions are organized labor is they are a democratizing force. to provide a barrier that defends workers' rights but also popular rights generally. and it that it interferes with the prerogative of our for those who own and manage the society. and i should say that anti union sentiment in the

united states among elites is so strong that the fundamental couper of labor rights the basic principle in the international labor organization is the rate of free association which would mean the right to form unions u.s. has never ratified. i think the us may be alone in one major side isn't every speck . it's considered so far out of the spectrum of american politics it literally has never been considered. a remember that the us has a long and very violent labor history as compared to society. but the labor movement had been very strong about the 1920 s. in the period not unlike today it was virtually kirsch grabber.
