good to have your company this evening this is. claimed to be the police have arrested 4 protesters who have been staging a sit in at the venezuelan embassy in washington in protest against america's policies on the in this way it follows warnings from police who said the protesters were trespassing. civil really gathered outside defying police sanctions. correspondent rachel blevins has more from washington. police broke into the building this morning at a rest of the 4 remaining activists who were still inside now we're still waiting to confirm the status of those 4 activists i have seen reports that at least 2 of the activists were removed from the building earlier this morning by a police transport vehicle solution to leaving the scene exactly where they are and what charges they're facing now here at the embassy we know that police. reportedly

entered the building around $930.00 this morning and so far we have seen a very heavy police presence including secret service agents d.c. metro police officers and federal agents we've also seen an ambulance on the scene and a presence from the fire department here as well so we're still waiting to learn exactly what all is going on inside of that building and that seems to be the biggest question surrounding it we know that police are inside conducting a search right now but we still don't know exactly what the state of the embassy is there have been a group of activists who have been inside the embassy for the last few weeks they recently had electricity and water completely shut off and earlier this week the majority of the activists left the building when police came and posted a notice saying that anyone inside would be arrested for trespassing if they did not leave now those 4 remaining activists were the ones that stayed after the notice was posted on monday night and they stayed up until this morning it appears

now the notice that police posted essentially said that the activists inside were trespassing because they claim that they're here at the embassy and that they were invited by the elected government of venezuela to continue to occupy the embassy despite the fact that the united states has decided to recognize an opposition leader one and the state department has claimed that he is now the rightful president of venezuela so we're still waiting to see exactly what the status will be of the embassy and its police plan to turn it over to representatives for why do anytime soon. one is whalen foreign the venezuelan foreign minister has already branded the u.s. actions illegal the day benjamin from the peace group code pink says that the arrest is a violation of international law. we got an urgent call from the people inside it 19 this morning that the police had broken down the door and that they were going to be arrested so the rest are under way right now we denounce this is

a violation of the vienna convention speakers the group has been there with the permission then as well in government i was just at the u.n. yesterday with the embassador to the u.n. who was calling on the u.s. to sign a protective power green minch with venezuela so that both the embassy in washington d.c. and the u.s. embassy in caracas would be protected the venezuelan government has said it is not given permission for the opposition representatives to enter that building and there is still time to negotiate a solution that would be a mutual agreement to both the government but it will be a tremendous step towards greater conflict with the u.s. if indeed the wedo representatives are allowed to go into that embassy now. and i can speak now live to serve as who's head of the international action center

and she's also a coordinator of the no war on venezuela campaign welcome to r.t. sara we heard the claims from these on to war activists that some of the numbers have been the rest is if that is true to what extent would it be illegal. well it's completely illegal under international law and even under our washington d.c. law because the embassy protectors were there in full agreement of the venezuelan government and this is a violation of the. vienna convention article $22.00 it's very explosive in international law how an embassy or sovereign territory of a country that it represents how relations are conduct so it's really an invasion into iran as well on territory it is a very dangerous legal precedent it's completely international wallace innes

and was done in a very calculated way after almost 40 days of the embassy. being in the building at the invitation of the venezuelan government simply there until. the u.s. and the venezuelan government arranged a peaceful orderly transfer are under a country offering protection protective status as is done when embassy staff in any country has to. this is a well known arrangement so the u.s. violation is one more nearly criminals in an outrageous and illegal attempt. simply assign the popularly unlike the government. and instituting their arms a point to. who has no legal standing and then trying to back it up with other illegal actions and really presents

a very serious problem i think for anyone in a situation like this and for other us some muslims around the world and we should salute the embassy protection collective so. every and arranging a. servant as well as u.n. ambassador says talks are underway between the opposition and the government if common ground is found would that be enough to get the protesters to pack up and move out what would it take to get to satisfy them. well the protesters said from day one that they were completely willing to leave immediately and in an orderly way if a new arrangement was made but instead of making any kind of range the u.s. went in and arrest and now that is what is literally beyond the pale. they are more you're in and in every public statement they express their

willingness to completely cooperate with international law and regular washington d.c. regulations and instead. what was posted on the border was an order of trespass that was unsigned unauthorized had no listing agency that was one step and then the police they since 2 days ago went into the embassy and were told they had no arrest warrant so this time they come back and simply drag. it seems with an arrest warrant but i don't know if even that one's abided by but they were placed under arrest driven away in a police van so this is a very as i say extremely dangerous precedent and a real. difficulty it's another further step in international mall and news. in efforts to overthrow governments around. impose criminal sanctions

organize mercenary things. organized groups internally in venezuela as they have done in other countries. really now reaches even a new level of wallace and they were given every warning thousands tens of thousands of. u.s. state department organized by every. aggressive solidarity and legal organization within the u.s. and internationally morning the. apartment against taking. or measure and yet when i. so appreciate you coming on r.t. this evening my guest the sara flounders head of the international action center and also coordinator of the no war on venezuela campaign thank you. u.s. 2020 presidential hopeful bernie sanders has accused national security adviser john

bolton of trying to push the country into war with a runnin away reminiscent of another american campaign the author of the efforts right now to get us into a war in iraq is the guy who was the architect for getting us into the war in iraq and that is john bolton busy so you know i worry about provocations on the part of the united states washington's taken numerous measures in recent days to counter what he calls a credible threat from iran the u.s. has ordered all non-emergency staff out of its embassy in iraq sources said be $52.00 bombers and dank areas to the region media reports suggest that there are intelligence images of missiles on iranian boats in the persian gulf sparked fears that they might be used against u.s. troops there the images haven't yet been published despite the lack of clear evidence for a heightened threat from tehran washington continues to make loud noises about to

him. threaten their neighbors or spread instability or terror everywhere we go in the middle east it's a rare or ran around major destabilizing in influence in the middle east spread death destruction and chaos the leaders of iran are record here's world's largest financial year of international terrorism behind every problem is array and we've been trying to do is to get iran to be him like a normal nation. john bolton and his approach to foreign policy we announced a 2010 interview where he admits that he would lie in the name of u.s. national security on the scale of openness americans what they think about it john bolton has a very important job keeping americans safe after all that is the job of the national security adviser and it's very important for americans to trust someone in that position john bolton wasn't always the national security adviser here's something he said before he got the job if i had to say something i knew was false

to protect american national security i would do it so considering that john bolton has a pretty important position in terms of influencing the president on international matters you think it might be a concern if he says things consistently that turn out to be false we decided to ask new yorkers. iran continues to seek nuclear weapons and intimidate peaceful people is that true not. true right yes that's false. so the one year period that we've talked about from the point where north korea makes to strategic decision to denuclearize is something that north and south koreans have already agreed to is that true or false false that sounds like something that's not true doesn't seem. right. i'm not running around the world looking for ways to create hostilities well it's just the other quotes pretty much speak for themselves that john bolton doesn't seem to have a golden record however that doesn't seem to put him in any danger of losing his

job at least for now. you would lie in order to preserve the truth if i had to say something i knew was false to protect american national security i would do it bolton is the point man little. jackal to carry out this effort to for it and to topple the elected government of iran and while we can see the history in record of john bolton as being in favor of the wars from iraq to going as well it to iran and he's always and. imperial wars abroad so from a political perspective we have to see this as a reflection of the system itself the united states they want the oil in iran and

whenever a bully wants to take something out of the year position then they will allege provocations to justify that violence that they're getting ready to perpetuate. chinese telecom giant while way has warned us or thirty's that the latest move won't make america quote more secure or stronger i think washington could end up having to pay more for lower quality 5 g. equipment john as foreign ministry for its part slammed washington's latest move us disgraceful and unjust and this is after the u.s. department of commerce place while way on a trade blacklist decision comes hard on the heels of donald trump declaring a national emergency to protect america's computer networks from what he described as foreign at the series. foreign adversaries are increasingly creating an explosive vulnerabilities in information and communications technology and services which store and communicate vast amounts of sensitive information over the past few

months washington has been trying to persuade allies to shun war way equipment threatening to limit intelligence sharing with those who failed to comply though britain one of america's key allies in europe is refusing to ban the chinese company out of hand saying it still hasn't made a decision a similar response came earlier remarks from germany china economy expert professor benjamin charter says that while we might actually benefit from america's stance polly actually has an unblemished record of over 30 years in 170 countries punishing one corporation with those solid evidence branes waves of fear to other corporations the us my lag behind with no using the bears equipment available in the world and americans are forced to buy spens if technologies and even in few more infuriating knowledges and in fact in the longer while the

americans my choose to go to china to hatch their technologies in china near the to sell to china how we should do what. has been doing in the past 30 years let the products speak for yourself and in fact get some arguably while we could be the biggest winner we've all this free advertising. the philippines has recalled its ambassador from canada in a row about falsely labeled rubbish sent to the southeast asian country years ago but more on that story after this break.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. theory dramatic. only. i don't see it. will be successful very high usage.

a dispute about the building of a new church in a russian city escalated into a standoff which has been going on now for days following clashes between the opposing sides and a number of arrests even got involved the details. this has been going on for some time already have to the authorities in russia's city or vacated in the east of moscow decided to build a new church st catharines cathedral on the city's main central square to market it involves 300th anniversary some people get really upset saying this will need to destroy one of the city's few green areas and on monday for the 1st time this discontent took to the streets following a call on social media some several 100 people gathered around a temporary fence marking the sport where the church is supposed to be build chanting we want

a square and apparently at some point it went wild according to the region's governor the protesters managed to throw this fence they were arguing with the police and threw you on the ground. refusing to leave the area and there were clashes between these people and those who support the construction of the church the government decided to have an emergency meeting inviting both sides but as a result decision was made to go on with the construction and this is why on tuesday the protests continued with 26 people arrested at the end of the day with 3 taking to the hospital including one with a broken rib according to local police reports it went on on wednesday as well. another 21 protester is detained by local police and earlier on thursday russia's president vladimir putin was asked to comment on this situation during a media forum that is currently happening in russia's southern city of sochi and weidman putin has said that when he 1st learned about this situation indicated in

wood he was rather surprised because there is only one and very easy way to resolve this issue to know the opinion of the majority of the people living in the area and to go on with the decision and this should be done through local referendum. everyone has the right to express opinion if this is the opinion of local inhabitants the opinion has certainly to be taken into account there is a simple method to conduct the poll and minority must all be majority but the interests of this minority should be taken into account as well let the investors ensure there will be another forest nearby and that there will be more rather than less trees and shortly after vladimir putin's comments on the situation in ukraine today and what we've heard from local authorities that they support the idea of local referendum. feud between the philippines and canada over waste disposal is escalated within the recalling its ambassador and councils not the

stuff the canada refused to take back tons of garbage it shipped to the philippines back in 2013 that the recall shows that we are. very serious and asking them to get back their garbage otherwise they are in a severe relationships with them. this began in 2013 when a private canadian company shipped more than 100 containers of trash to the philippines it was later discovered they'd been falsely labeled as containing recyclable plastic when in fact they contained household waste do $1006.00 thing in the philippines court ordered the company to take the rubbish back but it continues to languish on a landfill last month the philippines president adopted a stronger stance by pushing a deadline for canada to take the trash back and threatening war. will declare war against canada we can take them down i'll return the trash just wait

and see i will advise canada that your garbage is on the way prepare a grand reception even if you want to it is now theoretically possible to get it back but there's still a number of questions around who will pay for it where the financial responsibility is where the consequences are. the move comes months after chinese authorities refused to accept recyclable waste from the u.s. forcing its along with other western countries to rethink what they do with the rubbish which it had dairy and foreign affairs analyst in manila says that just into those failed to fulfill a promise he made 2 years ago to take the rubbish back. well for a very long time to fill them in size being unfortunately the recipient of top seek ways including nuclear waste all from the united states in software western allies so this case has been lingering for quite long time canadian one of those however i was a summer of 0.4 for the philippines for if you're president you going to target guess

with no plans or just introduce us here in the last 2 years ago for geology and saw me he promised that they were going to take back the trash all the garbage top 6 cars was left here lingering since 2030 and yet to your scheme that is not happening i mean you can even go over to say that this was a private deal between the can. and philip be defunct required of course again he is also good say that you know it's not only can he get small he's also whoever was able to accept these back in 2013 with the bids for clearing this is the group this diplomatic crisis could get president between 2 long term holidays philippines and canada. brings you right into that thanks thing without the all return with that on our top stories at the top of.
