and. u.s. police arrested 4 activists who were staging a sit in at the venezuelan embassy they were protesting against the expulsion of president diplomats last month and u.s. interference in the country. please enter the building around 930 this morning but it wasn't until 1115 that we saw those 4 activists being taken away in police transport vehicles now those 4 are from a group of activists who have been occupying the embassy for more than 3 weeks now and they say that their goal is to hold for the government of president nicolas maduro despite the fact that the united states has recognized opposition leader one as the country's interim president now on monday we saw that police posted a notice on the door of the building and they said it. any of the activists who

were still inside would be arrested and charged with trespassing that's when the majority of the activists did leave but those 4 remain and it wasn't until today that they were officially arrested now so far they have been charged with interfering with a protective order and it's not clear if they are going to be facing any other charges now i show chew over lawyer for the activist and she said that this raises a lot of concerns under international law because she argued that it goes directly against the vienna convention which states of the united states can not enter the venezuelan embassy without approval from the allotted venice weyland government and so as of right now we don't know exactly what the condition inside that building is we do know that we have seen a very heavy police presence here which has included secret service the d.c. metro police and federal agents who have gone inside the building and conducted searches but we're still not sure exactly what the future is for this embassy. the venezuelan foreign ministry has branded the police actions illegal while the guy

don't pointed embassador to the us so the embassy has finally been liberated medea benjamin from the peace. excuse me the peace group code pink claims the arrests are a violation of international law. we got an urgent call from the people inside at 915 this morning that the police had broken down the door and that they were going to be arrested 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 ambassador to the u.n. who was calling on the u.s. to sign a predicting power 3 minutes 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 the building and

there is still time to negotiate a solution that would be of mutual agreement to both these governments but it will be a tremendous step towards greater conflict with the u.s. if indeed the representatives are allowed to go into that embassy now yards of us have gained the attention of some prominent figures on wednesday civil rights figure had jesse jackson arrived at the embassy to give food to the protesters who came after reports suggested authorities were preventing supplies from reaching the embassy and he spoke to reverend jesse jackson and asked him what he thinks about washington's role in venezuela. is in the national mall move them. rather than the national or human rights and so-called terminator and we'll know so much from bono and people must protest that because the brother and the holding while in the same congress. not accept subpoenas from the same why i was invited.

to come as well as when the. people at the embassy it was in fact revenue and the people of venezuela both leaders and the commonplace dismas to me would. do the same and so. it was and i am as you know we get. all of them billions with us for these away from southerners 3 weeks away we were right they were reason and i have to say you know america we are a great nation was one to the bahamas fear to do. this so i'll sit in that number was in the freedom as the good neighbor probably not with a hostile or with a regime wall added to. just the jacksons charitable act was criticized by the quite a appointed ambassador to the us who accused him of supporting human rights

violators reverend jackson explain to us why he decided to help the protesters. who the mother was because america could though and that was not right. and reconciling the sides in this case no one wins if he's as kind and disagree with reconcile sides. credible convene the u.s. cannot do it alone and replacing one government for another regime change is not an answer for democracy. u.s. army whistleblower chelsea manning is being sent back to prison just a week after being released of the ruling comes after the former soldier refused to testify before the grand jury on her contacts with wiki leaks the case doesn't make sense it seems kind of bananas in comparison to the evidence that we that we got out i will not cooperate with this or any other grand jury. in march this year manning was jailed for 2 months for refusing to answer the grand jury's questions

on wiki leaks and its founder julian assange manning was 1st detained back in 2010 for sending thousands of classified documents to wiki leaks she was sentenced to 35 years behind bars but president obama later reduced that term to 7 years former f.b.i. agent coleen rowley believes the latest sentence against manning is unlawful. the current administration did not like the fanuc that the obama administration pardoned her so this would be in a legal you know punishment a 2nd punishment after already serving time for the case against julian assange is just that weak that they absolutely need a chelsea manning's testimony in order to firm up those specious charges it's got to be one of the 2 things otherwise it makes no sense i have never heard of a jailing a witness this long she's already been jailed for 62 days for failure to talk to a grand jury and she's really putting on

a very brave face in the face of this additional what i would think is illegal punishment to be the struck hony and. chinese tech giant wall way has warned of that a u.s. trade ban on the firm will harm americans leaving them behind in 5 g. technology this comes after the u.s. department of commerce placed wall way on a trade blacklist were alleged security concerns are troubled to basically reports now from a technology conference in paris on the shock waves that the dispute is causing. probably that g.e. is seen as being critical to the development of the digital economy in the next decade one of the major players is china's huawei but its presence in the field is a contentious issue and something that could cause a fair bit tensions between the e.u. and the u.s. a warning well don't trump has just signed an executive order declaring and

national economic emergency the u.s. president ties empowered the government to ban the technology and services for an ad for a series deemed to pose an acceptable risks to national security including from so i bet espinosa sabotage it may not mention the qual way by name but it's clear. we'll who ate a dad's meanwhile in europe they seems to be a more open approach to the company the e.u. has demanded strict to security ahead of the rollout of 5 g. in a bid to protect privacy and business secrets but it seems that that may not be enough to satisfy the u.s. so what is huawei doing to try and ease the concerns over 38 stake milegi were willing to sign no spy agreements with governments to commit ourselves to making our quitman meet the no spying no back doors standard so as the tech world cap is

here in paris how worrisome all say about huawei my opinion is that everybody is already spying on us for our phones and computer so this is going to be an extent i don't know i don't think we can do anything about it really think it's pro-business same with oil company mobile phone a we are just we don't just know the the different elements of the other companies so i think it's the same so i'm not really scared we just have to be careful as you are going to respect a lot of noise in france or in europe between it would be ok australia and new zealand have already followed it trumps lead despite assurances from walk away but with the stroke of a pen trump has seriously bumped up the pressure up on european allies to follow suit and to find the way from 5 g. networks although the dutch and the germans said that they will stand steadfast kate step back and there was still a question over whether europe as

to china how they should do what ali has been doing in the past 30 years let the products speak for yourself and in fact get some odd globally while they could be the biggest winner we've all this free advertising. us presidential hopeful bernie sanders has accused a national security advisor john bolton of trying to push the country into war with iran. 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 so you know i worry about provocations on the part of the united states in the past few days the u.s. has taken steps to counter what it calls a credible threat from iran the state department has ordered all non-emergency staff to leave iraq and the u.s. air force has sent b. 52 bombers to the region this follows stark warnings from the trumpet ministration

about alleged to hostile activity from iran. threaten their neighbors or spread instability or terror everywhere we go in the middle east it's a rare and 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 finance here 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 that's for john bolton and his approach to foreign policy we are on earth day 2010 interview where he admits he would line in the name of u.s. national security or just give him up and ask people on the streets of new york for their views. 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 to fit 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 very little e man the jackal to carry this effort to for it and to topple the elected government of iran and while we can see the history and record of john bolton as being in favor of the wars from iraq to going as well it to iran and he's always in favor of 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 despite the supposedly danger from iran the trumpet ministration has not yet to brief the senate on the matter and some senators are seeking answers. i would urge the state department and the to come down here and explain to us what's going on i've come to the fore in the law. and to demand answers by this administration about iran about its policy we need to understand what we're doing the hearings that are done in secret do not for inform the american people of what's going on i demand to know why we have deployed. the american military

assets we do not need another iraq weapons of mass destruction moment that tender box of the middle east is no place to operate on impulse or whim. that's the appearance this administration has created by lacking a clearly articulated strategy for the american people to know and assess is the president this behavior is not acceptable. if you between the philippines and canada over ways to disposal has escalated with manila recalling its ambassador has refused to take back tons of garbage that it shipped to the philippines several years ago that. shows that we are. very serious and asking them to get back they're going to be otherwise. severe relations with them. the dispute began in

2013 when a private canadian company send more than 100 containers of trash to the philippines it was later discovered they had been falsely labeled as containing recyclable plastic when in fact they were containing household waste in 2016 the philippines court ordered the company to take the ship and back but that has not yet happened and last month the philippines president threatened drastic action against canada. will declare war against canada we can take them down i'll return the trash just wait and see i will advice canada is on the way prepare a grand reception eat it if you want to it is 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. foreign affairs analyst in manila says justin trudeau has failed to fulfill a promise he made 2 years ago to take the shipments back. well for

a very long time. unfortunately the recipient of waste so this issue has been lingering for quite long time canadian waddles however i was in a sour point for a for the philippines where if you're president you go to target because with no plans or just do what's here in the last 2 years to go for the audience saw me promise that they're going to try show all the garbage. was left here lingering it's a 1032 year scheme that is not happening and you can even go to say that this was a friday that. it can't be called by the end it will it be defunct or get it is also say that you know it's not only the i think it's all of these also whoever it was able to accept these back in 2000 in the philippines but clearly this is the group this diplomatic crisis could get. me to launch a lace philippines again at the. russian embassy in washington says u.s.

intelligence may have staged a provocation that is after russian games designer was detained on suspicion of trying to export u.s. fighter jet manuals good to go faces up to 10 years in jail for allegedly smuggling arms documents and plotting against the u.s. government argues daniel hawkins picks up the story for us. conspiracy to smuggle classified documents and undercover sting operation on a trail leading to russia. for a classic james bond movie but for a leg to shouldn't go it's playing out in real life not on the silver screen with no hints of glamour the russian citizen is set to go on trial in august in the united states the charges are serious conspiring against the u.s. smuggling and violating almost export control laws no despite decades of stereotypes about russians missed the titian code isn't a secret agent or a spy many would label him a. uta nerd

a guy whose passion and job was developing airplane flight simulators like this one . according to the manuals he wanted to obtain were to prove his knowledge of the jets build them into a flight simulation game the problem is that despite the clear availability of such materials online only those with government licenses can export such manuals and because of u.s. sanctions on moscow sending them to russia is a big no no honestly it's a very strange situation i don't know why the united states would allow these minerals to be sold in the 1st place if they were if they could be used against the united states so there is a contradiction there if you can purchase them in the united states foreigner coming to the united states purchase them and read them and we so it really does

seem that the statute has a huge loophole which would suggest that. someone at some level of prosecution is unfair so titian co was charged in absentia here back in 2016 although he was none the wiser and off the traveling to our south a festival in neighboring georgia earlier this year he was swiftly detained and extradited at the u.s. government's request eagle dynamics the software company where legwork for many years have distanced themselves from the whole story eagle dynamics confirms that it was not involved in any way in the actions of its employee who acted in a purely private context and his own personal interests the company develops all of its d.c.'s aircraft gain more jewels exclusively on the basis of publicly available information and has never used nor tried to taint any classified information at least the computer whiz isn't entirely a load the russian member. see in the u.s.

has been following the case accusing u.s. intelligence services of carrying out a provocation the russian embassy in the u.s. is keeping a close eye on the situation surrounding the arrest of russian national teaching coach who was extradited from georgia 5 charges have been brought against him including smuggling violating the arms export control act and conspiracy against the interests of the united states there are indications that this is a provocation staged by u.s. intelligence agencies the claim isn't entirely without foundation of the homeland security took an interest in titian co an undercover agent posing as a buyer of air play money alls contacted titian co to catch him out and gather evidence on his nefarious activities it seems that a software designer and play in the simulation enthusiastic warranted an undercover sting operation so while tisha go faces 10 years or more of prison both simulators and fighter jet miles are available online across the world just be careful where

you post them and who you talk to online. e-bay is allowing military documents to be sold they really should have a full notice of the statute that it violates so that there's no doubt that somebody who's buying him. fully understands the consequences the american was knowingly selling something to somebody who was a russian i mean that's really something that's you know not be. loyal to your country if frankly anybody should go to jail if they could be the american occupation. sri lanka is struggling to cope with a wave of civil and religious unrest since the easter sunday bombings that left $250.00 dead and an incident captured on camera has made matters worse this unverified footage shows a man dressed in an army uniform apparently turning away as dozens of people

prepare to launch an attack on a muslim owned building the government says it is investigating the matter recent days have seen a new wave of anti muslim riots resulting in one fatality mosques have been attacked and korans set on fire while muslim shops have been firebombed 78 suspects have been arrested. meanwhile the sri lankan government is under pressure for failing to restore law and order since last month's massacre. we heard a loud bang and we fainted that's all i remember. i

wish to express my heartfelt solidarity with the christian communities affected while it was a prayer and with all the victims of such cruel violence. well south asia analyst to do misra says the rapid spread of propaganda and its rumors online it's a key factor in the ongoing unrest. the fact of the matter is that they most sense on the ground are very raw and it's simply cannot control that emotion or let it be the christians are called with for muslims as well and we are also talking about a history of violence in the country you expected that with modernity to build a lot of this into this interconnectedness hundreds infamous and highway people would have moved away from these primordial identities but that hasn't happened

unfortunately what we're saying is that in the hands of bigots in the hands of radicals in the hands of conservatives the idleness on highways used to properly a specific kind of narrative a specific kind of propaganda and unfortunately we don't have control over that unlike what we have hard in the past where the police can come knocking on the door people would know as to exactly what is going on. the u.s. and germany are a lot to live dispute over the nord stream to gas pipeline but little says it won't be cowed by washington's threats. of america is actually its case like germany is its colony thus this is something i don't want to happen and we need to prevent this it costs berlin is currently hosting an energy conference with the e.u. is approach to russian gas high on the agenda argues peter all of the reports now from the event. been hearing here at this gas conference in berlin is that europe

germany is where in particular needs a reliable source of energy that comes not from coal not from nuclear that the idea here in germany is to get away from well with nuclear by 2022 in coal by the end of 2030 s. by the end of the 2030 s. gas they say is the only way forward however what we are seeing is big opposition to that particularly coming from the united states senator ted cruz of texas has put forward a bill which could see extra sanctions put in place on those companies that are currently building the nord stream 2 pipeline in the baltic sea and it's not just from them that we've heard this criticism also the ambassador for germany for the probably united states here in germany richard grinnell issued a warning that's well pulls no punches sanctions are coming if you continue to be involved with north stream to from american point of view the buy blown is not just boards and gas but present on cruise sanctions through grinnell isn't the only us

ambassador that's been having an outspoken say on this the u.s. ambassador to the european union gordon sunderland also suggest that the europe should even suggest he directly said that europe's should source its energy from democratic sources not democratic ones pointing a finger directly at russia while he was saying that now i spoke to 2 close to the member of the bundestag heavily involved in the committee looking into north stream to from here in germany and he said statements like this were absolute rubbish. what angers me most here is that german companies and other european companies that want to build this pipeline being threatened i'm told they won't be able to do business in the u.s. if they take part these are extra territorial sanctions that go beyond the u.s. they go against international law and in my opinion are completely unacceptable away from the men and women involved in the gas industry itself there's also opposition political figures here we spoke to. one of them who said well this isn't

about geopolitics this isn't about securing the e.u.'s energy this is all about business when it comes to the us i consider this comment from the united states quite ridiculous because we all know that american brothers are the best christmas man in the vault and like always learning from the west once we have learned from the americans that you always source from the cheapest source and always source from the most reliable source and liquid natural gas is neither cheap nor reliable and that is why it's of course in the german interest to source mainly from russia what we're hearing from here at the gas conference in berlin is that no matter what pressures put on by the united states this is a deal that is going to get done it's a project that's going to get finished it may well end up upsetting some people along.
