we've got an amazing situation about being here american one of our politicians as an openly admitting congress that the u.s. dollar is that friend from big time. president putin hosts a meeting with the u.s. secretary of state and says that russia or is ready to rebuild ties between the 2 countries. u.s. military school publishes a decades long history of washington's interventions in other countries dubbed by some as being a. saudi arabian ship is hounded by protests in european ports failing to pick up an arms delivery that activists say could be used to kill civilians in yemen.

good evening and welcome this is r.t. international. president putin has said the rusher is willing to resolve all its differences with washington his words follow a 3 hour face to face meeting between russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov and his american counterpart mike pompei a branded frank and detailed by both sides. we also want to restore relations with the us i hope all the conditions for that are now being created the spite the exotic way the moeller commission has been working in the hole it came up with an objective investigation and proved there was no collusion between russia and the us the thing we branded as total nonsense from the very beginning. vladimir putin expressed hope that the preconditions and now are right for relations between the united states and russia which to be honest have been awful absolutely terrible the 2 biggest nucleus superpowers in the world

refusing to as much as talk to each other all communications and until now frozen pretty much military communication. corporation the financial spheres and trade and culture and the both him and the russian foreign minister saying that they hope this might be a turning point. emphasizing certain spheres sudden topics in which russia and the united states could easily corporate such as oil production among the top producing countries in the world they could talk about the market supplying the global community global demand also afghanistan both countries have a lot at stake there russia especially with all the terror that's being exported out of the kindest on all the drugs the united states likewise they could talk in north korea. north korea denuclearizing the peninsula

a whole host of topics expressing hope that now as i said could be the turning point. with his american counterpart they talked about every hot issue hot topic in the world every crisis that's happening in the world right now starting of course with venezuela chunk of that time spent on that and. they agreed to disagree on venezuela where disagreement irish my russian colleagues to support the venezuelan people as they return democracy to their country. the united states and more than 50 other nations agree that the time has come for nicolas maduro to go he's brought nothing but misery to the venezuelan people. and we hope that right. support. form a girl will and democritus you in your stomach democracy can be imposed by force the threats coming both from u.s. officials and the opposition leader. who is always reminding us of the possibility

of military intervention have nothing to do with democracy. the russians and the americans both saying pretty much the same thing that venezuelans should decide what happens to their countries but how they see that happening seems to be very different the united states saying that russia china iran quba are interfering in venezuelan politics the russians pointing out that washington is threatening maduro the government of venezuela with intervention iran of course similar to venezuela diametrically opposed views on what to do and how to go about solving the iranian crisis which is fleda new here again both countries have very different views on how to go about resolving this crisis most the moment we have many disagreements on iran now but the fact that we've started talking on this issue gives us hope that we will be able to achieve agreements if both sides show

willingness to do that so i made clear that the united states will continue to apply pressure to the regime in tehran until its leadership is prepared to return to the ranks of responsible nations that do not threaten their neighbors or spread instability or terror again russia believing that the iranian nuclear deal of 2015 along with the rest of the u.n. security council the europeans that that is the best way of going about and resolving this crisis the united states on the other hand pressing the europeans pressing other countries. to pull out of the iranian nuclear deal to pressure and sanction and hurt iran forced to change and do. what the united states believes it should do nevertheless even here but such opposed views sergey lavrov and my popo said that conversation and dialogue between russia and the united states should

continue that they should work on common ground try to find a solution to this crisis that is acceptable to everyone as indeed it must be in order in order to work the biggest takeaway is that they have agreed to talk they have agreed that dialogue rather than sanctions and militant rhetoric is the best way forward and they've agreed to reopen previously suspended and shut channels of communication military financial cultural which is incredibly incredibly important so who's just optimism but shrestha cautious. former u.s. diplomat says moscow and washington will have to overcome some major obstacles to improve relations. i understand that the russians especially want to talk about keeping the lines of communication open they talked to the about the americans as their so-called partners and so forth they expressed hope that would now that the moeller investigation is over there will be some freedom for mr trump to pursued

what he talked about during the campaign to improve ties in my opinion that is very unlikely to happen that if you look at things domestically or in the united states not just democrats but even republicans are still all over trump claiming that he is dancing to putin's tune they still accuse the russians of meddling in our elections and if we saw that mr pompeo warned mr lavrov not to do it again even though the proof is not there that they did it in the 1st place i think that there will be very serious obstacles to any kind of improvement of relations hopefully as mr lavrov suggested they can get some of these working groups on arms control and other issues going with experts diplomats military men to come to some agreement on specific issues but i am not optimistic. means on the u.s. military school is released a 250 page report detailing washington's office the d.

stabilize foreign governments over the past 70 is with more on the story is kill him open. 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 scholars guide to overthrowing governments the joint special operations university published its study they looked into research of special forces operations of the u.s. military across the planet from 1941 to $2003.00 and 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 divide. 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 coercion and regime change sure the highlighted cases of the 3

categories. $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 overthrows now the only overthrow conducted during 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 this is a function of ideology a functional germany has nothing to do with cost and it's not simply nothing to do with the interest of the american. people the american people made them will be cynical but they are suffering. astonishing levels of poverty and misery the mass emotions over 40000000 in poverty and health care rising crame poor lazy shit along

racial lines 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 to account on behalf of the powerful in the government and us this is to do with a small quantity of new york or fanatics in washington who are no in control of trumps foreign policy and of course olivia's of and histories that benefit the military industrial complex so there is no money to be spirit when it comes to trying to effect these monica adventures. the u.s. is being accused of planning a new military intervention this time in venezuela a representative of the venezuelan opposition has sent a letter to the u.s. so me requesting a meeting for strategic and operational planning practices beyond the move an invitation to invade. president but the rose government has also condemned the police raid on its embassy

in washington d.c. as being a violation of international law offices trying to expel activists who have been occupying the building since materials diplomats were expelled last month police arrived at the compound and issued an eviction order some of the activists refused to leave saying the officers failed to present an official warrant. minarets more general to. writing. the protestors this but more than a month of the embassy u.s. adored former diplomats leave the site as it recognizes opposition leader one go i don't know to be venezuela's president days prior to the police raid the deal for it is even cut off the water supply to the embassy. before handing the protesters an eviction notice in person police posted one on the embassy door stating the u.s. recognizes why don't people as venezuela's representatives and saying that the activists must leave. the government of

sri lanka has imposed curfews and ban social media sites comes after mosques and muslim shops were attacked across the country over which the chief of police issued a stern warning. butyl this small group must stop the dangerous game it's playing with the lives and property of innocent people we will not allow the country to be reduced to anneke by those who use force on innocent civilians in the south asian island's been plagued by religious conflicts since the east the bombings last month which claimed more than $250.00 lives the latest spike coinciding with the muslim holy month of ramadan a c. mosque stoned and shops smashed and burned on monday one muslim man was killed by a mob the 1st reported fatalities police have been ordered to use maximum force an inmate 13 the rest to date chief executive of the ramadan foundation in the u.k.

feels the sri lankan government must take control of the situation. there is a big power struggle going on between the prime minister and the president in itself was led to paralysis in government being able to protect communities. there's been a curfew there's been a structure the social media but they need to go beyond that and start providing safety for muslims who are simply in this for you with the ramadan you know these extremists who are torching mobs and attacking innocent muslims they don't represent the christian faith the christian faith is one about tolerance it's about the war it's about you know. giving protection to minority communities as we have been in the u.k. so i think it's a real worry that if the government doesn't step it provides. and turns a blind eye then those extremist though tried to seek and find it year and cause harm will use does only excuse to do that binds.

the son of his role as prime minister yeah you are he was accused germany of funding and t. israel non-governmental organizations and others despite the german foreign minister recently stating the country support for israel. 70 years ago today on the 11th of may 949 israel was admitted to the un as a fool member on this occasion the federal government would like to read to read the german is stance also in the un shoulder to shoulder with israel has security a right to exist must never be called into question by anyone anywhere will continue to support israel's legitimate interests to help strengthen its representation in the un and do our utmost to pose an attempt to isolate or. it will be nice if you stop interfering in our internal business and stop funding hundreds of radical left wing n.g.o.s in israel the secret destruction use the hundreds of millions of euros you use for this to fund hospitals schools and

churches in germany a recent report by the israeli government claims germany and other european countries have funding so-called anti semitic boycott campaign groups and these have been linked to militant organizations including some us the paper also noted e.u. aid for palestine was finding its way into pension funds for terrorists the german chancellor is also faced claims of hypocrisy despite a consistent backing of the sovereignty and security of israel. i think this is i strongly condemn all the anti do or anti semitic crimes and act i believe that the european union should try to pursue a realistic approach to the threat which terrorism poses especially for israel we stand by our commitment for the security of israel we discussed the issue with diplomatic analyst is our own and columnist at the israeli newspaper haaretz gideon levy who have different opinions on the bilateral tensions. israel germany relations are quite

a big us and the west it's kind of the most hypocritical show or in town because even if we go on the just not to back far in time merkel herself has voted at least 16 times in the un against israel defies 7 tromp resolution to recognize drislane while trying to convince the other eastern european nations not to follow trump she's also trying to fight 7 trump sanctions over iran germany is trying to undermine israel sovereignty what would you expect other than saying we is stand by israel what do you expect other than that. reality is pretty much. the other way around tells you something about the atmosphere at the prime minister's residence and these should there warry some people who care about democracy about understanding of the more coarsely and understanding of the

international law there was fear there seems to be very very hostile germany is the source needless to say that germany's more sensitive to criticism coming from jerusalem because germany still carries rightly so guilt feelings for the for the past but this does not mean that those attacks are legitimate the world has a right to criticize the israeli occupation because the israeli occupation is a clear violation of the international law and it is the duty of the world to stand against the into his goals to fight it within israel and without outside israel to support them financially morally to support those 2 to really support all those fake 2 groups individuals who are fighting for ending the occupation. the saudi arabian ship sent to pick up

weapons in europe has been hounded by protests along its journey in france activists exceeded in preventing it from collecting its cargo claiming that the arms could be used against civilians in yemen and now a french flag is being projected onto the vessel in spain madrid claims that the ship left their port carrying material that will not be used in a combat capacity e.u. countries are under increasing pressure over their arms sales to riyadh. has the story. well amnesty international has blasted several european union states saying they have failed to hold their obligations in regards to the arms trade treaty pick . cause they're selling weapons to saudi arabia with them that will likely be used in the war in yemen the bar has been bouncing off european ports like a pinball this is a serious test of the country's resolve to uphold the obligations on the arms trade treaty and e.u.

common position on arms exports several states have food this test in the space of just a few days now the concern is that some of these weapons could be being used on the frontline in the war in yemen and could be being used against civilians now that yemen conflicts being ongoing out since 2014 around 10000 people have lost their lives in the conflict and millions have been pushed to the brink of starvation it's been described by the united nations as being the world's worst humanitarian disaster and the concern from amnesty international is that if it is possible that the weapons being sold by e.u. member states to saudi arabia are being used in any way to perpetuate war crimes or to violate international law they're not means that they have broken the obligation when it comes to the arms trade treaty the voyage reminds us that they prefer to

allow lucrative global arms trade to continue to operate behind a veil of secrecy well amnesty points out that a saudi cargo ship has been making the rounds at several poor european states for the last week or so we know that it was able to dock it and twerp in belgium and it was able to receive a supply of missions there and since then it's tried and failed to visit several other european ports and now we do know that the belgian foreign minister has acknowledged that there are concerns that these sales and this is what he had to say going to be you know you would be good to suspend all deliveries to saudi arabia. if it was shown that had been used on going conflict such as the. regional government must make that decision. now here in france we had confirmation from the defense minister this flawless poly that that saudi cargo ship was also due to dock

in the port of laughter in northern france and was due to receive a shipment of arms from france as part of the sales to saudi arabia and now this is what she had to say last week in regards to that. the arms delivery. room and 2 issues made a few years ago well that news was met with protests at the port of of when it was announced last week that's because there was a leaked investigation in the last month show which alleges that the french government has been made aware by secretive military notes that weapons sold by france to saudi arabia could have been used on the front line in yemen and could have been used against civilians and that provoked lots of anger from people who wanted to stop that shipment from going ahead now the president also spoke about this last week saying that he had received confirmation from riyadh that any arms

france sold to saudi arabia wouldn't be used in this way but despite that because of the processed those on's were not able to be loaded on the ship and then it moved on its way attempting to visit ports in spain and now on its way to italy but the controversy continues and many human rights organizations are unhappy that any of these sales are taking place in the 1st place what they've called on is for european union states to now halt those sales to saudi arabia off their arms. the french defense minister had insisted there was no conclusive evidence that french weapons were killing civilians in yemen saudi arabia denies targeting civilians claiming it's only fighting who think rebels who seized yemen's capital in 2014. putin is trying to find a new doctrine for the russian energy sector to counter the effects of western sanctions or details he is with. the russian president has approved of the
