good morning my name is kevin though in this is our international live from h.q. in moscow here welcome to this 30 minute news update this wednesday that started with a story members of the venezuelan opposition has been implicated in a corruption scandal leaks documents appear to reveal that officials from one quite those movement has been embezzling aid funds for personal use the money was intended for soldiers who defected and fled to neighboring colombia last february. money. humanitarian aid it is more a humanitarian robbery all the money from the famous humanitarian aid fund was stolen of take note washington not only are the opposition liars but they are thieves too who stole thousands of dollars from each other. thousands of dollars raised from an aid concert on the colombian border were apparently spent on hotels busy prostitutes and luxury goods but 2 members of those party they were in charge

of overseeing the humanitarian aid is our senior correspondent there with more this morning sex drugs and rock'n'roll aren't something you'd associate with a humanitarian aid concert wrongly that seems colombian authorities themselves a shocked and barris that what they've uncovered and to think it all began so innocently we need to try to help those who are not getting medical help help those who are hungry and today hopefully on the back of this concert we can start maybe getting supplies into them to sway those people who are not suffering so much back then the freshly self-proclaimed president of venezuela called in the military to defect join him and top of the corrupt regime. we gladly armed forces welcome to the right side of history welcome to the soldiers who are today

following the constitution welcome hundreds of soldiers did defect some with families some of the small children they scared to colombia they were put in hotels and by mid march they were living in the streets we are desperate we do not want to stay in colombia we want to return to venezuela but not in the current living conditions we do not know. how could this happen out of the 7 hotels that the soldiers were staying in all but 2 were being paid for by the un and the colombian government to hotels is all who and why do those representatives had to pay for except they didn't according to the journalists who broke this story why and why do all of this a month ago. we couldn't allow for any bad managing of money to overshadow what has been a big effort on the part of all venezuelans that's why as soon as we had the information

about the ongoing investigation we decided to send it straight to every impartial of dorothy. the people who did this bear in mind were appointed by do personally and he only chose to speak with the story already public knowledge saying transparent investigation is needed also amazingly managing to somehow imply that the venezuelan government does involve culpable complicit and that guy duo doesn't cover up corruption which he kept covered up for at least a month obviously the actual venezuelan government has questions. this huge drop in corruption poor to divert money that we could use fall sick children instead of being spent include a medicine that has been used to pay for alcohol prostitutes expensive shopping trips and luxury hotels as do those allies why is his party

which promises to cleanse venezuela of corruption and exercise the demons of the old regime why are these people blowing tens of thousands of dollars in aid money on prostitutes drugs and booze and live a concert that richard branson blair along with others in the us pros can be february 22nd 23rd that's a complete failure of plan michael forth inside of senate and. have been using the money to enrich themselves for luxury in $5.00 star hotels and therefore they're really showing what they're about it's about whining power for personal enrichment the corruption scandal is just one small part of what the u.s. is engaging in in this enormous assault and genocidal assault against the people of this well it's hundreds of millions it's chance of billions of dollars that the

u.s. is stealing in the name of one way though stealing money from the venice well people . show this to be britain's next prime minister will go a little bit shorter later this wednesday 5 will become for the race to replace to resume a as conservative leader and by thursday's final ballot will have decided on just 2 and after that then it's down to the grassroots members to decide who goes through . in the u.k. looks of who's still in the race as of this morning than. but contest is hotting up and the field has been whittled down one blonde bombshell remains the front runner and these are the politicians who's made it through to the next round of the conservative party's game of knockout or should it be called the contest for who gets to lose to boris johnson in the race for downing street you get a very serious no you're really going to get. that you have the the quest

for a new leader has got the country poring over the contestants and the laundry whatever populist charm boris johnson might have a conservative party with him at the helm probably shouldn't count on many votes in scotland judging by this recently on earth quote from 2005 gordon brown as prime minister would be obsolete rageous not just because you don't popping into fearing high tax and complicates of life but mainly because he's a school government by a scott is just not conceivable in the current constitutional context their race has revealed numerous skeletons in other candidates close it to can you guess which politician took which drug in their preponderate ix days michael gove was a front runner but his campaign was mobbed after he was forced to admit he dabbled

with cocaine in the 19000000 tees it was a crime it was a mistake i deeply regret it should you have gone to prison. while i was i was fortunate in that i didn't when asked what his biggest weakness was at a recent debate jeremy hunt for 2 this. time my wife is japanese my was trying to. be the carrier. although not as terrible as this presenter getting his name wrong. on breakfast t.v. steve you say that the man that you are backing jeremy i'm so sorry jeremy hunt of never said that before in my life it's usually men who say that so i really really want to apologize i'm sorry beyond the opportunities for gaffes his name provides for broadcasters some have said that jeremy hunt is boring no class a drugs to reason may in trousers his edgiest moment siding with donald trump in the u.s.

president's high profile spat with london's labor man come on and then there's what he started as the rank outsider his warts and all media strategy hash tag rory walks has been gathering momentum up until now the secretary of state for international development wasn't that well known outside of westminster or isn't guys. you have to have a quick fill. was for filming for me i'm a politician i'm standing to be prime minister standing room meeting people. who were people. with all this dirt on offer you'd expect those competing for a chance to move in here in a couple of weeks time to engage in some good old fashioned political mudslinging but at this stage of the contest boris johnson is so far ahead that the other

conservative candidates appeared to have come down with a case of lightness perhaps looking into the future and vying for top positions in an all but inevitable boris johnson cabinet. so after sudan's president was ousted by the armed forces the country's no trying to find ways to resolve the resulting constitutional crisis that president bush's removal of to decades in power led to a struggle between the military government and groups pushing for a rich. to civilian rule as well as internal efforts to resolve the impasse there's also help blotting out from abroad 2 we can report this morning the u.s. is increasing its involvement weeks after a major crackdown by the sudanese military and protesters there urging security forces to end attacks on civilians and to investigate the recent violence or sometimes appointed a new special envoy for sudan that a veteran diplomat who on paper as a wealth of local knowledge and experience in the region 65 year old donald booth

has not only served previously as u.s. ambassador to liberia zambia and ethiopia but was also the obama administration's envoy to sudan and south sudan and now is back in the role but bruce appointments not being universally welcomed a women's action group in the dark for region has big doubts areas suffered years of conflict including genocide and ethnic cleansing not only did booth want to normalize relations with the murderous regime he actively neglected those being murdered but with failed to put forth any statements regarding the atrocities committed we cannot trust him to speak up now internally displaced individuals who took to birth during his visits were quickly erast it without any prevailed by booth to grant them release all protection he's a point then will once again silence those who have been suffering in darfur for 17 years so as to improve gets done the work kellam open next takes

a look at his track record during neighboring south sudan's brutal civil war. as the situation in south sudan continues to spiral the united states has appointed a new special envoy to save the day the department has appointed ambassador down on the eve booth as special envoy on sudan his appointment demonstrates that the united states has a firm commitment to the sudanese people and efforts to advance a peaceful political solution now the white house says that it's his experience with south sudan that makes him qualified however it is long record with the country that is the source of all the outrage donald booth was the special envoy to both sudan and south sudan under the administration of barack obama from 2013 to 2017 under his watch the civil war and human rights abuses escalated. into the.

breaks again great sexual mutilation abductions and sexual slavery as well as killings that have become commonplace in south sudan there is no doubt that these crimes are persistent because impunity so entrenched that every kind of norm is broken now the role of donald booth in this mess hasn't exactly been good in 2011 the united nations imposed an arms embargo on sudan however the united states didn't start abiding by it until 20163 years after the war was already in full swing despite what seemed like strong international consensus favor going to bargo for several years the united states withheld support and an embargo was not put on

the un security council agenda. seems like a pretty big fan. and of the u.s. and israeli aligned regime of south sudan he actually worked to get them a waiver from the white house over their use of child soldiers and he seems a little bit partisan when it comes to internal strife in the country here's a statement he made about the ousting of the vice president we do not believe it would be wise for him ashore to return to his previous position in juba so this is the man whose task it is to restore peace however if you look at his record he seems to have plenty of experience doing the opposite us never really carried out sincerely so sudanese didn't really care or could really follow policy from us because the us was against the very survival of the country the mistake that was made by the united states and most a mistake made by the students go is you cannot ignore the suffering of people during your whole period of. us did list of

a few tried to go the country even though before the break up with south sudan in 2000 where the u.s. government did nothing but keep punishing the sudanese people you keep going you're for sheer you keep trying policies that change. just in time 50 the morning here in moscow sunny day here hope is good with you 2 thanks for watching us this wednesday money as kevin know it now coming up after the break when the stories of covering the bruising rove of race and land ownership in south africa and the nelson mandela's daughter no less is in the spotlight for some inflammatory tweets we'll tell you all about it when we come back. seems wrong. just don't call. to shape out this day. and engagement equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. what politicians do. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. get to the right to be close it's like the before korea can't be good. interested in the why. they should.

get a life in russia this is out international good morning tensions are on the rise in south dakota in the u.s. off the state post a new rocket boosting law the term was coined by state legislators to try to cover people that encourage civil disobedience even if they were not right themselves but activists say instead it's aimed at protesters who continue to rally against the keystone pipeline.

6 so the new rules not only take aim at people who actively take part in riots but old so people who incite violence to encourage others to take action the keystone x.l. pipeline is the full of part of the system that runs all the way from canada to america 3 stages already been completed phase 4 was 1st put spoken by barack obama made environmental protests but now president trump's given the green light for it to go ahead the american civil liberties union says the act is not clear enough to suppress demonstrations before they even stop native american activists joyce joy born believes the protests in north dakota what prompted the government to take action the. whole reason being i knew it would have a lot happened and iraq. where i didn't want to access the united

states government is greater that your read of what we were able you know and when you're exercising her treaty rights you know you know they're declaring war on us they're declaring war on the great rachel bush and we will do whatever we and whatever we have to. protect. the daughter of nelson mandela who's now south africa's i'm past that to denmark is called outrage with controversial tweets about color and land ownership. dear dad apologists your time resolver you will not rule again we do not hear you finally a statement to be condemned by the country's opposition and the white south african group both are calling for mandela to be dismissed but the economic freedom fighters party say they fully support mandela branding her critics racist she defends the comments too saying that she's entitled to have her own opinion behind

the argument is the controversial land reform bill in south africa the expropriation of lands for white farmers the idea of is to restore some sort of justice after apartheid according to the government white farmers are still supposed to play a role in establishing a new economic reality we spoke to sara go on policy fellow at the south african institute of race relations about the controversial tweets now. she is the investor to a significant european country which south africa's had very good relations with and that her behavior is entirely on diplomatic and it raises a very big concern for us in so their race has been used as a. political tool by various parties to either act as a stand in for not doing enough of the right thing or to and taken the. tried create a split between whites and blacks the redistribution of lead isn't actually it is

legislation without compensation to resolve the problem the problem is largely an administrative one it's got a lot of catching up to do it i think this is why it has taken this particular starts of relying on the apartheid past instead of saying look it's a it's of 2 to achieve a decent effect for people we actually need to do it properly. ukraine is going to get $250000000.00 military aid package from the u.s. the stated aim is to boost the country's defense abilities and help here have maintained domestic security as it's been battling an insurgency in the east since 2040. the united states remains committed to helping ukraine to strengthen democratic civilian control of the military promote command and control reforms enhanced transparency and accountability in acquisition and budgeting in advance defense industry reforms so the recently announced military aid is part of

a series of pentagon payments to ukraine says 2014 washington the funding is now reach one and a half $1000000000.00 totaling sniper rifles rocket propelled grenade launchers are among the lethal and nonlethal items which ukraine will get from the pentagon the u.s. says the move reaffirms their long standing defense relationship now smoke comes after a reported spike in fighting along a front line in the eastern donbass region in recent days the conflicts thought overall to have killed around 13000 people since it erupted 5 years ago security analyst charles shubrick thinks the aid has the potential to now to aggravate the conflict. but what we've got here is again as far as previously released on one occasion previously we've got lethal weaponry being provided as well and of course that was resisted by obama and his administration him fearing i think that this would exacerbate the situation rather than actually improve it and that these weapons are you know they're marked as defensive of course almost all defensive

weapons can be used offensively but in terms of the politics of this i think it's quite. significant because of course you've got a new recently elected president and of course it was part of the election campaign that he would like to see a reduction of tensions with russia and ultimately of course an end to the very catastrophic war that has taken place in the east of his country but on the other hand he's also made it clear in recent weeks that he's going to still stand very much with the west and allied to the us and of course in a way those statements are now being rewarded perhaps with the continuation of this program. and that's why i think the show pick up from the newsroom here of. international so far this one 0 so much more 1st course online and on t.v. dot com it's come it's 1024 the morning as i think so watching the names kevin i mean and every day.

oh why paradise with some all around turned into a round experimentation feel for agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants there's no question otherwise why would that the chemical company workers themselves be geared up that suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments but often in day you have many of these people who have one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of environmental research going on in hawaii whether these companies feel

they can get away with this because the people have less political power. we had one man 3540 years old. it lost this child in the water. some 30 fisherman later in this. i guess to some. of them to want to take another one of them a fee was stubborn and hurt the machine and. i believe that this is one part of the therapy is to. tama. absurd to really harsh things that happen in life
