changing of the god russia has a new government which was just a rubber stamped by president putin. at the un security council the west continues to defend the chemical weapons watchdogs report on syria's duma entered into 2018 despite the watchdog's own former inspector get contradictory. the findings in the heart of the reports were contradictory what were complex. were well. above the story. as the u.s. secretary of state meets venezuelan opposition leader american fans get yet another wave on the sanctions that hit everyone else.
2:01 pm
as i will welcome you watching r.t. international with me. now russia has a brand new government comes in the wake of last week's resignation of the old one as it made way for recently proposed constitutional changes and the last hour the new cabinet was approved by president. bush who was congratulations on your appointment to the government i believe this will be a very serious challenge in your life but at the same time it was a very interesting journey which i wish you all success the whole country is behind you previous government created the foundation for the legitimate right we should have used this foundation and the potential to achieve. russia's president vladimir putin met with the prime minister of the new prime minister. and the faces of the new government were unveiled to the russian. public and the rest of the world now
2:02 pm
everybody was speculating as to how big the changes are going to be and i have to say they have been quite a while sizable of the acquired significance of for instance some 13 former members of the government didn't find any place in the new ones but some of the veterans and veterans of the true sense of this word they are staying for instance russia's top diplomat. he is staying so the all the western partners they won't be needing to get used to a new face there's a familiar one that will be doing all the talking on russia's behalf also russia's chief policeman he's staying he's keeping his ministerial job as well as does russia's war chief surrogate sure now as for those who lost their positions they were mostly there were mostly people designated with fixing russia's internal policies and largely the former government was viewed as rather while it was rather
2:03 pm
unpopular and the changes schol that it is it has grown unpopular with the president too for instance it was heavily criticized for failing to deliver on the glad i'm a putin's internal policies now this whole thing was set in motion last wednesday when the russian president made an address to the federal assembly and the outline not only changes to the russian constitution as he proposed changes but also he outlined the new course the with a big focus on the internal policies here in russia so it will certainly be interesting to see whether this fresh blood that has filled the veins of the russian political system whether these new people will live up to the expectations of. the un security council has debated the investigation by the world's chemical weapons watchdog into an incident in the syrian city of duma back in 2018 russia has questions the published findings triggering a backlash from the west. and countries during the session a former o.p.c. w.
2:04 pm
specialist said the fact finding team had serious misgivings a chemical attack even occurred. the report makes clear what new. orleans information. says you know so of. course in order to study. this as. this fixed. results of them are huge turnaround situation from workers i'm disturbed by the majority of them to. let us be know down there was this chemical weapons attack in june we in 2 huge 15 witnesses soon the duma hospital the only witnesses disputable proof that the chemical attack in dumont was falsified and it states caterpillar categorically
2:05 pm
objects to russia's blatant attempt to use the security council meeting to weaken the credibility of the o.p.c. w. and its findings on the duma attacked no one has just named the guilty. even without presenting any evidence and enjoy the support of a little someone's who you really cannot have wolf when eunice since the a.p.c. w. published its reports the organizations own inspectors have voiced concerns the probe misrepresent the facts for example the initial assessment suggested chlorine cylinders were manually placed at the scene contradicting the published version makes also claim the team that went to dubai was not included in the group putting together the report keller balkanize law. the united nations convened a meeting in which the results of the o.p.c. w.'s investigation into the alleged chemical attack in the syrian syrian city of duma in 2018 was discussed now that report from the ows o.p.c.
2:06 pm
w has come into question after information was revealed leaks cited that crucial evidence was essentially left out of that final report and that crucial evidence that was left out could have pointed toward the attack being staged in henderson who was a weapons inspector he participated with the o.p.c. w in their fact finding mission in duma he doesn't agree with that he says that he pretty much based on the evidence has concluded that the canisters were placed manually they were not dropped from an airplane this is what in henderson said to the un meeting speaking through video link this is what he in henderson said the findings. were contradictory. with what happened to. your.
2:07 pm
release of the interim report. 2000 and. 2 was a serious misgivings that a chemical attack. now in henderson is himself an expert on chemical weapons and the forensic investigations into them furthermore he actually participated in the official o p c w investigation but regardless that did not stop certain voices from trying to cast doubt on what he said to the u.n. meeting take a listen mr henderson's paper is a pitch reflect a person and. of course there. bound to be robust exchanges of views with voices differing from matters in any scientific process but what counts is the final considered assessment now the syrian government has been absolutely adamant
2:08 pm
and clear it had nothing to do with the chemical incident some countries. led by the united states of america. continue to exceed the provisions of the convention on the point of chemical weapons by politicizing the war of the o.p.c. w. and to trying to deal. from the track it was created for that was the chemical incident let's recall in 28 chemical incident in which the western countries the united states and france they used that as an opportunity to unleash 100 missiles against the syrian government there.
2:09 pm
and we've had wiki leaks publish a number of of leaks and information e-mails showing that there just was not unanimous agreement within the o.p.c. w. about who was responsible for the attack based on that this report from the o.p.c. w. has been widely questioned allies of the united states seem to insist that the syrian government is responsible in the o.p.c. w. report is conclusive and shouldn't be question so once again we have debate over the chemical incident i think peter things are going to continue to turn from a view of it is clearly what they don't want to uphold there we were in fact what we heard is a final report and then also one of these whistleblowers who are made up of the actual scientists and the americans are saying we'd like to report let's
2:10 pm
just move on and the russians are saying wait a minute let's listen to the national scientists because it sounds like the science didn't actually go into the final word but so obviously the russians in america. so clearly with your votes on whether you're talking about group or one of the scientists who are pushing it goes it doesn't actually represent the 5. we spoke with now freelance journalist tired dad previously barred by newsweek from reporting the story on the o.p.c. w. leaks he quit in protest after the magazine's management gag him her dad told us there is no reporting on the issue in the western media this is not something that is going to go away it's very serious so. you know we've seen absolutely no reporting about this in the western media if we have. intelligence officials from the united states that can influence the reports of this body opens the doors to
2:11 pm
many more situations where you know genuine chemical weapons attacks might not be treated in the same way because the reputation of the body is not taken seriously i think we've already started to see the kind of counter propaganda from the united states already kind of trying to change the narrative of the c.w. must keep bashar assad in check and holder's government to account for chemical weapons attacks but it's completely counter what what the information that we have a president. facebook's been purging his network of content deemed undesirable again taking down posts sympathetic to the assassinated iranian general kassam so i'm on the one of those affected is viral content agency in the now whose own videos on solomonic have been deleted here's the sort of thing facebook's been getting rid of. that iran and its allies sent. packing us
2:12 pm
could assassinates all of money and nothing would stop with iran believes that western media outlets to speak of. changing their tune the u.s. government in uganda. the social media giant has admitted to taking down proselyte money posts across its platforms including targeting dozens of a rainy and journalists and influencers some of that i can't swear even deleted the tech giant says it's simply complying with u.s. sanctions laws following the u.s. strike on the late general early this month hundreds of a radiant iranians flooded their social media accounts with tributes to solomon. well earlier i spoke to the hosts of him an hour soapbox rania undone cohen about why their content has been targeted by facebook. i think facebook took down my video basically because it exposes what the u.s. government does not want americans to see namely that the iranian general custance
2:13 pm
with the money was a top anti isis general and that's something that used to be reported as i showed in my video back in 20142015 during the peak against the fight against isis but when trump assassinated so the money suddenly that fact that noncontroversial fact was not to be found anywhere and so basically my video showed how us media tailors its wine according to the precepts of the united states government and that was deemed apparently a threat they said it violated community standards and therefore was unpublished which is some orwellian double speak term unpublished that simply just means censorship that's what we're dealing with here less government is always raising you know a stink about oh china censoring this or iran is censoring that but in this case you know unlike those cases which are domestic censorship that only affect those
2:14 pm
countries what the us government is doing here is it's it's basically forcing these social media giants to censor things globally to cancel out any actual information that challenges the state department narrative about countries seem to be official enemies and it's really really disturbing because what you have here is it's almost like here any through algorithm becoming increasingly difficult when you have a social media environment that's dominated needed by the major big tech conglomerates like google and facebook. so i mean all the best thing that people can do that we can do i guess is that have you know content across multiple platforms and at some point you know in the future alternative media specifically because this is an attack on alternative media needs to come up with some so. out of alternative way alternative platform because you know tomorrow these social media giants at the behest of the u.s.
2:15 pm
government could just press a button and erase all of us and that's what's really scary here. the u.s. secretary of state has met with one kwaito in colombia saying washington will increase its support for the man it now backs as venezuela's president. called for cooperation to remove incumbents nicholas mature. we're here. to do with it what you should give them opportunity give support live the lives that you want with democracy and freedom while at the same time the u.s. the u.s. has also given another 90 day extension for american oil companies to keep working with their venezuelan counterparts without fear of sanctions they extended waiver exempt 5 major firms the trump administration imposed sanctions on caracas several times to cut its oil revenues which account for most of the country's income sanctions bond american companies from participating in venezuela's economy but while the u.s. handed waivers to its firms the white house is still sanctioning and issuing
2:16 pm
threats to others. we sanction a moscow based bank jointly owned by russian in venezuelan state owned companies that is helping perpetuate the misery in venezuela by doing business with a basic executive order gives authority to the treasury department to impose sanctions on any person or business or entity. seriously seriously if you're overseas to keep it in power madeira allows cuba to plunder venezuelan oil rate its wealth and roberts people and we want to make sure that the resources resources that the venezuelan people are going to need after material leaves we want to make sure those resources are available for the venezuelan people and not shipped off to cuba or to russia or to iran professor of latin american studies done you'll still thinks the u.s. stunts is hypocritical. this shows the extremely hypocritical nature of sanctions
2:17 pm
is a selective sections. share exon massive us corporation . then if it explodes on other country's resources neither its well as well or career 'd about we 'd are going to cause the trump government will look the other way. that the sanctions is blockade is airtight becomes the plan a shooting every day $30000000.00 people that it's never will us charity is always there always will the ball ready really revolutionary government so they can go ready into one as well ready ready. i'm scared 'd and i these are some of the most massive oil reserves in the entire world 'd. it's nice former interior minister matteo salvini has been stripped of parliamentary immunity by the senate it means he could now stand trial over his controversial decision to prevent migrant rescue boats docking at

2:21 pm
a convenience store and uses the catch phrase thank you come again pressure on the show spiked after a 2017 documentary slamming the character as discriminatory but many are finding it hard to believe that stereotypes even in a comedy cartoon are being outlawed. my name is very clear that a great career full of laughter critical acclaim i should be completely happy but there's still one man who haunts me the hossa people peddle on. my documentary the problem with apu was not me to get rid of a dated cartoon character but to discuss race representation from our community which i love very much it was also about how you can love something like the simpsons and still be critical about aspects of it but there's also i mean he's not going to voice call any more because carl is black and he is white whatever happened to the meaning or voice acting i loved the pool as an indian i find this news ridiculous him because he did
2:22 pm
a great job all characters in the simpsons are stereotyped caricatures i don't see the problem author and journalist who covers art and culture zachary lehman believes the criticism is about fitting in with modern political correctness. i think to bring up the criticism now it just plays into the sort of trendiness that goes along with these protests today i mean if your problem with pew is that he has these stereotypical traits there are a lot of those characters on the simpsons so they have a lot of work to do if you're saying that approach is your only problem with the simpsons and your problem is stereotypical characters it just comes across as very inauthentic if you just look at movies in general you see a lot of examples of studios seemingly panicking and making a lot of compromises to kind of feed and please this sort of faceless digital wolk mob but the thing is we know that that really goes nowhere we've seen apologies go nowhere hollywood's in
2:23 pm
a place where they need you know they need foreign money to put a lot of movies in a profit they need good word of mouth on social media so right now i think they're playing from a place of fear and that's i think that's apparent in the controversy and i think it's apparent in a lot of the decisions hollywood's making right now so i personally i think they're going too far and i think they're going to they're going to see the results of the box office. donald trump and i think he's got space covered with his new military force but it's full of these coverage with this got everyone else talking. just as we have recognized land air sea and cyber as vital war fighting domains we will now treat space as an independent region with today's action we open another great chapter in the extraordinary history of the united states military.
2:24 pm
