so you got it in the book. on his 1st trip to russia the u.s. secretary of state mike home pale arrives for talks with his counterpart sergei lavrov aimed at finding the long lasting suspicions between the 2 countries. venezuela brand the us a police raid on a former embassy in washington d.c. is a violation of international law but the activists in the compound saying they're trying to prevent an illegal takeover. the u.s. military school publishes a decades long history of washington's interventions and other countries dubbed by some as a cruel guy. and a saudi arabian the ship is haunted by protests at european airports failing to pick up in arms delivery that activists say could be used to kill civilians and yet

. a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our t.-h. here in moscow thanks for joining us this hour. ready to fight suspicion and prejudice those are the words of russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov as he welcomes the u.s. secretary of state to the black sea resort city of sochi during my from paris the 1st official visit to the country both sides seem ready to take the u.s. russia relations a step forward live now to sochi and more on the pair have plenty to talk about that. well there is a lot to talk about to be honest with you because relations between russia and the united states as is well know the best there's a whole hoost of issues to get through and coming here might compel was urged by

senior democrats congressman congresspersons to act tough to throw his weight around and show the russians what's what fortunately he seems to be acting a little more grown up a little more constructive judging by the opening comments. on pretty much most of the external mccarthy we see there are certain suspicions in prejudice from both sides but it's not a win win scenario for us just that mutual mistrust hinder us and russian security and causes concern around the globe so it's time for a new and more responsible approach to our relations and mutual perceptions we're ready to do that if my u.s. colleagues show reciprocation towards that i'm here today because president trump is committed to improving this relationship as as i think he said we have differences we each country will protect its own interest look out for its own

interests of its people. but it's not it's not just that we were adversaries on every issue. there's a there's a whole host of issues that russia and the united states must talk about nuclear arms control nonproliferation proliferation fighting crime fighting terrorism things that they can only really do to get. other in order to be successful. now we have venezuela situation there also topping that list things a critical united states having just redid the venezuelan embassy we had the coup attempt. a few weeks back on the 30th of april by. the president that the united states recognizes the leaders that russia recognizes nicolas maduro his government still in power nobody really supported that coup and that has been a sticking point in relations between russia and the united states united states

russia's meddling in iran also at the top of that list we are an incredibly dangerous situation now developing in the persian gulf with united states aircraft carrier battle group with all these sort of ships parked on iran's doorstep militant rhetoric flying around threats and counter threats we had might compare changes. and number of times over the last several weeks because of the rainy an issue 1st he said to meet with merkel in berlin he canceled that in order to fly to iraq and condemn condemn and threaten iran there then he canceled the trip to moscow in order to go to europe to try to convince europeans to pull back out of the iranian nuclear deal to support the united states as it to paedos that deal where he was. unsuccessful the europeans coming out very neutral urging the

united states to stop trying to destroy the iranian nuclear deal urging the iranians to abide by their nuclear commitments so. there's a lot at stake in the situation really is on the knife's edge everybody urging including russians urging calm urging the iranians also to busy abide. by the commitments they've announced that they're going to that they've already pulled out of the agreement that they set off this heavy wood. uranium enriched uranium again as i say this is a lot to talk about today but this cautious optimism because nobody's expecting a major breakthrough yet there is cautious optimism that at least something will be achieved here in sochi. reporting why from such a thing. the talks come soon after the u.s. deployed an aircraft carrier laden with 40 combat planes into iran's regional

waters all present trump also fired another warning at tehran. we'll see what happens 9 with iran if they do anything it will be a very bad mistake if they do anything i'm hearing little stories about iran if they do anything they will suffer greatly we'll see what happens with the run. and there appears to be substance to the threats after a number of b. 52 bombers were used in the 1st u.s. mission in the region washington says it will defend american forces along with its interests in the region from clear indications of threats coming from the iranian government this all comes amid media reports claiming the trump administration has drawn up plans to send 120000 troops to the middle east that's in the event iran attacks american forces or starts working on nuclear weapons now for more on this we go live to former u.k. ambassador to syria and by train peter ford lots to unpack errant not lavrov has vowed to confront pump a over the iranian crisis which moscow says washington

created by ditching the deal well that kind of approach wash with the secretary of state. secretary. looking for a concrete go. on iran and he was he would be reading we. he would you know i think come play or go on with instruction from tom who we improve the atmosphere haret hreik. compote who have. been injured in the module. but we've got i think the most immediate that you get from with. a temporary improvement in the. white temporary because it indicates that the american already on any of it sure. they. call with iran russia

china basically the record. well. russia lays the blame for the iran crisis and america's door who shoulders it in your b. oh. absolutely or clear that role in pointing out the american who. quickly cry i think they'll throw on having that because we're going to. show you all the major foreign policy the achievement of the of them with me it's creation with iran's nuclear agreement but that the carnage that. now all call it trying to be able like iran who create an issue in iran through economic war which would lead to an upright thing in iraq that. america had only to go through. or we put in what looks like it's going to be

a whirlwind because iran has the means it be they will either go and the world economy. now a number of us democrats are urging pompei or to take a hard line with russia over meddling let's take a quick listen to what we've been hearing from the. secretary of state complete must make clear that the coast of trying to interfere with american elections will be secretary of state bumpier must deliver a shot across the bow to putin and then the other for the 1st 3 that would dare think about trying to influence our elections for the sake of our national security i implore the administration not to return to business as usual with russia in the wake of the middle report this is not a time for a reset with the russian federation the u.s. must be firm and deployed by its national security commitments to the american people and our allies. well the democrats ever tire of hammering home the meddling narrative. probably no because they have failed. to

land a knockout blow on. they just keep trying but they will not. what's important i mean it would be the democrats aligned with the funny with the subject is not really serious the idea that home pay 0 should go and bang the table and wagging finger. the the russians over meddling which brought the power of legit busy it's a joke it's not not very quickly and the americans are the great thing the image of the united states has a very. good behavior. to credit. the way longer than going along with the and i say it's playing with the shit spreading in that 11 thing that a theory that busy working relationship with russia and yet he appointed by

peo being a neo con neo kong giong both want the diametrical opposite us policy in the states that will shift the renia and it's exceedingly difficult or russia or the e.u. or anybody else who have a. very relationship with anyone who has renia to the degree. former u.k. ambassador to syria ambassador in peter ford thank you so much for your time and your comments. here now iran is not the only country washington has tried to bend to its will artie's come up and looks at some of the governments on the receiving end of u.s. special operations vietnam ukraine yugoslavia libya one of these countries have in common well you guessed it uncle sam has been involved the u.s. central command recently published a study that's now being dubbed the pentagon's scholars guide to overthrowing

governments the joint special operations university published its study they looked into research of special forces operations of the us military across the planet from 1941 to 2003 now the joint special operations university is an entire academic institution dedicated to studying the art of war here's what their research found that the report divines u.s. special ops into 3 categories disruption coersion and regime change 68 percent of the operations were disruptive only non-disruptive cases took up 32 percent they were divided between coersion and regime change here the highlighted cases of the 3 categories. because.

the biggest. $47.00 instances were study disruptive actions failed just less than half the time and attempts to strong arm foreign governments were more successful working in 3 fourths of instances when it comes to overthrowing governments u.s. special ops or batting at $23.00 out of $47.00 attempted over. rose now the only overthrow conducted during a war time was successful that's the war in afghanistan in 2001 but is success really the right way to describe the conditions facing those countries now the most shocking statements come at the end of the report where the authors say that these kind of operations will probably never stop these clandestine interventions have ranged from support to civil resistance movements to paramilitary operations to

launch unconventional warfare efforts in support of conventional military campaigns even presidents who prior to their election looked upon such activity with disfavor found themselves compelled to use it often taking office. and it appears the american military sense another opportunity to flex its interventionist muscle in the latin american country of venezuela venezuelan opposition's representative in the u.s. has sent a letter to the u.s. army requesting a meeting for strategic and operational planning krokus has branded the move an invitation to plot a military intervention in venezuela. the venezuelan government has also condemned it police raid on its 4 embassy in washington d.c. as a violation of international law officers trying to expel activists who claim they're defending the mission from illegal seizure they argue that the u.s. is preventing cruxes diplomats from working at the compound and trying to replace

them with illegitimate opposition representatives police arrived at the compound and issued a vixen order to the activists most of the activists left after that 4 of them stayed inside though arguing that officers had failed to present an official arrest warrant. at. the ranch more. generally. they would probably try to get the. * testers have spent more than a month at the embassy the u.s. ordered diplomats serving nicolas maduro government to leave the site as it recognizes opposition leader. as well as legitimate president days before the police raid authorities cut the water at the embassy before handling protesters and fiction noticed in person police posted one of the embassies doors stated that the u.s. recognizes people as venezuela's representatives and that the activists must leave

investigative journalist max women full. we actually now go to live to political commentator and journalist john white for more on this story so the us has a long history of failed interventions that come at a huge cost to the american taxpayer why does that keep attempting them. because this is a function of ideology it's a function of germany has nothing to do with cost and it's not simply nothing to do with the interest of the american people this is to do with a small quantity of your core fanatics in washington who are no in control of trumps foreign policy and of course all the various other and destroyers that benefit the military industrial complex so there is no money to be spared when it comes to trying to effect these had you monica adventures you specially in a region of the of the american continent which the us is always considered to be a soon going back as far as a mono doctrine an 823. now washington often justifies military activity abroad by

saying it safeguarding democracy or is that the request of a government how convincing do you find these explanations and do the american people believe them. well this is all really and in the extremism to amount of war is peace and freedom is slavery they're not trying to uphold democracy or spread democracy the murdering democracy in venezuela venezuela has a democratically elected government he did by nicolas maduro elected in 2060 percent of the vote so this is nothing to do with democracy it's everything to do with he gave money to the american people many of them will be cynical but they are suffering quite astonishing levels of poverty and a misery ation of the mass and millions over 40000000 in poverty and without health care rising crame poor lazy shit along racial lines so i think the american people have a lot on their plate to consider free without having to what hue much of it was going on abroad we know that the us mainstream media is notoriously lacking in deep

analysis doesn't ask deception questions and indeed in many respects it is no longer there to hold the powerful in the government to account on behalf of the people but to hold the people so on behalf of the powerful in the government and us . us intervention has often led to worse living conditions for people on the ground civilian deaths and current can chip. to the spread of extremism in the end why does the u.n. security council not stop history from repeating itself. well yes you could if you can so unfortunately the paper tiger when it comes to confronting us again many and it's because of us and of us shelby i'm afraid but you're absolutely right when it comes to the human toll of these military adventures and u.s. interventions indeed the center for economic and policy this out show us beast washington think tank compiled figures and april revealing that 50000 venezuelans have died as a direct result of u.s. sanctions imposed on the country since $27000.00 thus we have it time for.

represent before she spoke to mark received caracas as he claims mr guede who represents a foresees old people his own regime change in washington this man is no democrat and certainly not be legitimate president of venezuela as john bolton would have us believe he is in truth the truth iranian he is very nervous bret israel is painted as well whole and has today i'm sure will that i can pass to give him a such a political commentator and journalist john white think you know. at least 5 protesters and a police officer have reportedly been killed in the sudanese capital when an unidentified gunman opened fire it comes amid an ongoing sit in protest outside the country's military headquarters the rally followed the removal last month of president omar al bashir the protesters are demanding those who took power by force step down and create a civilian government earlier the ruling military council and protest leaders

you. greetings and salutations do you know that in 1038 decision by the u.s. supreme court the press was defined then legally as any kind of publication which affords a vehicle of information and opinion it seems almost quaint now to imagine a world in which information and opinion are freely published without the government or politicians interview airing intervening in that process whether you were in moscow or minneapolis why then are we seeing the persecution of whistleblowers and the journalists who publish their stories more than ever the director of whistle blowing and source protection that expose facts just when radek recently told newsweek there are 2 ways to clamp down on a free press you target the sources the new target the journalists and publishers and according to the columbia journalism review though journalists obsess about trump's rhetoric the media itself has under cover of this growing threat perhaps this is because it does not fit neatly into

a narrative after all the trying to began under the obama administration whose justice department prosecuted at least 8 espionage act cases more than any previous administrations combined and this week the intercept is taking heat as the 3rd whistleblower that's worked with the publication is indicted under the espionage act according to the intercept quote following a dangerous path of the obama administration the trump administration is continuing to use the as me and i attract to prosecute whistleblowers who enable journalists to uncover disgraceful immoral and unconstitutional acts committed in secret by the u.s. government. it makes one wonder who is really on the side of truth and truth and justice why journalism is under attack from within so let's get to the source of the matter and start watching the office.
