good afternoon thanks for joining us here tonight. residents in northeastern france are creating a stink by trash talking the belgian neighbors they accuse them of cross border fly tipping. visited the region. this may look like part of a landfill site but it's not all of this waste has been dumped here illegally we're just a few miles from the border with belgium and luxembourg and the french town of all core mu 9 is one of many struggling to cope with what you can see mountains and to mountains of garbage that have appeared since october in nearby red it's a similar story trash both household and commercial has been dumped under the cover of darkness city. at 1st we thought it was regular waste but it turns out people

are illegally dumping their washing machines. they're throwing everything away. yes but here we see it's far more serious we estimate around 200 tons of waste it's enormous as far as the pollution we don't know what's inside it could be tons of who knows what type of products. chemicals. we don't know we see cleaning products plastics what more could be hidden it didn't take long before calls track down where the waste was coming from what if we did i was looking through the trench piles and piles of it it all had signs of being from the same place we searched and found out it was from on term. and that if there is an invoice is it and. there you know it says. so of s.

. when the company was contacted it didn't need any knowledge of illegal waste dumping but the local resident jessica told me that since that statement the fly tipping has continued it's being described as dumping on an industrial scale and you can see why back in the local fisherman's association is also concerned. on the water source or close to this pollution so there could be a problem because it could affect our pond this is the 21st century there are designated places to put waste like this it's an acceptable people are doing this and regulate the mayor's office says the cost of cleaning this up is beyond its means you know and if you know so on a financial level for us this is impossible to solve we have a small community of $1000.00 people it would cost the equivalent of the whole

annual budget to get rid of this. a criminal investigation into this problem with cross border dumping has we know you print and customs agents have stepped up their patrols now in 2017 they reported 7 metric tons of waste like this was illegally trafficked into france in 2018 that shot up to 130000000 metric. sons now although there are no figures yet available for $29000.00 it is clear that this issue is escalating the communities here are fed up of being a dumping ground for other people's waste they want more regulation and a calling on the e.u. to step in to solve a problem that some believe europe's open borders are helping to facilitate charlotte even ski. u.s. president donald trump are certain to further sanctions on venezuela's oil sector

carex has branded american restrictions a weapon of mass destruction accusing washington of waging a masked form of warfare it's been a year since the u.s. formally recognized venezuela's opposition leader one as the country's interim president showing the door to the legitimate government of nicolas maduro washington stance that there's been a genuine transfer of power is looking increasingly whole it was on the scale of more can expect. when it comes to venezuela the trumpet ministration lives in a kind of alternate universe for example when the country faces a food crisis donald trump says that there can be only one cause venezuela's president nicolas maduro people are starving here's a case worker who was wealthy 15 years ago and very wealthy 20 years ago very very well when you look today they don't have water they're on a basic food they have no medicine it's incredible what's happened it is we're no we're watching very closely we don't like it we don't like it he fails to mention

that u.s. sanctions have been wreaking havoc on venezuela for years or that opposition groups have actually been caught torching food warehouses in the narrative of the u.s. government these things simply don't exist that inaccessible most of the men using the blockade of food medicine and weapons to politically coerce were private entire countries have their own means to sustain and develop themselves are actions that are completely. these unilateral curse or criminal actions are equivalent in scope and effect to weapons of mass destruction but it gets better the venezuelan embassy in washington d.c. has been reopened after diplomatic relations are cut off you'll recall how the actual venezuelan officials were ordered to leave the country so with no diplomatic relations what exactly is this new so-called embassy. somebody who is in there. how well are they able to provide consular services. you see.

ok. very interesting because i hear that they're an embassy you see this pretend the embassy has a pretend ambassador working out of it it cannot grant visas or do any of the normal functions that a normal embassy does for one simple reason no one would be allowed into venezuela with those visas because the embassy doesn't represent the actual venezuelan government this pretend embassy is just a big facade representing a president not elected by the venezuelan people but by american officials duras group and tyranny will be smashed and broken. here this evening so a very brave man. who carries with him the hopes dreams and aspirations of all venezuelans joining us in the gallery is the true and illegitimate president of venezuela who on. the eve of the u.s.

government insists this is the true leader of the venezuelan people but when he arrived at venezuela's airport the venezuelan people had a pretty different opinion. back home the one great 0 is not popular polls show that roughly 10 percent of venezuelan support him however vice president mike pence likes to brag about the fact that over 60 countries have recognized him as president this president has led now a coalition of more than 60 countries around the world that have recognize one of the legitimate president of venezuela but over $100.00 countries have not recognized one wedo and still seem a borough of the legitimate president furthermore in the countries where dueto is recognized it's far from unanimous do you not agree that the recognition of glial

is an absolute am barrus months to anyone that has occupied this chamber and this is this chris and on the part of the member states of europe a some of them have recognized and i like to washington had very high hopes for one grade 0 hoping that he would go ahead and topple the dural but it didn't happen so it seems that now washington has adopted a strategy of pretending that it did and hoping that others will play along the us is totally broken international law by taking over the embassy in the name of the pm to do in israel and government is the official government of venezuela whenever the u.s. says. most people in venezuela know. that it's a joke. you can't just declare that somebody is the elected president when he isn't the elected. so the u.s. is making this this farce of a person into the government and then saying that the embassy doesn't belong to

venezuela we now have a coalition of the willing who are saying that quite oh it's the government it doesn't have any other option i mean he hasn't been able to push that mud euro out . a new b.b.c. documentary claims that he catalytic officials are implicated in the doping control of a city that involves britain's 4 time olympic champion and top insurance on a mo farah auntie's alexia assessed as mine. this summer the whole of great britain will be glued to their screens rooting for the nation's prize athlete 4 time olympic champion run out more or will they and you panorama documentary by the b.b.c. has cost further doubt on whether more farah success was cleanly won the don't fall back to salazar who costs are moved to the court to go to to win at all costs the main sticking point is the role of former coach alberto salazar who was banned in october 29000 from any sports activities he was the head of the controversial nike

oregon project until the u.s. anti-doping agency suspected he may have banned the dopping rules one of those substances he used was l. carney team designed to speed up muscle and heart recovery for athletes it's considered legal indows this which do not exceed 50 millimeters over 6 hours salazar however reportedly invented a new method of administering l. carnitine through intravenous injections which itself sparked questions from u.s. anti-doping authorities it has not been a secret that more have had injections of the substance prior to the long the marathon in 2014 but the new documentary opens a fresh can of worms namely about the relationship between salazar and u.k. athletics meet barry fudge head of long distance running at you get lead tix still working at the organization in 2014 he reportedly flew to switzerland to obtain the l. carnitine in a form which could not have been acquired in the u.k. he did not document this trip even though he had 2 he's calling u.k. athletics dr rob chakravarty reportedly administered the injections to more and yet

he didn't report it either even though it is against the rules to prevent he later said he simply forgot to do that due to over working and travelling most of it in unusual occurrence that is very specific medicine was required sourced a great difficulty given against the initial advice of the don't know he said he records of it and there were dishonest question answers but the eve. more bizarre case of forgetfulness occurred with more himself when usada investigators came to question him 1st he staunchly denied that he was. left the interrogation but then came back and changed his account having spoken to barry fudge i have never taken ill carnitine injections at all i just wanted to come clean sorry guys and i did take it at the time and i thought i did it all comes back for me but at the time i don't remember more farrah's lawyer says the athlete just didn't get the question

now having seen the documentary the u.k. anti-doping agency's c.e.o. nicole sapp said said she the agency was ready to cooperate and even called usada is investigation robust we thank the panorama team for their efforts the program is another example of the importance of investigative journalism regards in integrity matters in sports u.k. antidoping agency supported the u.s. anti duping agency with their investigation into the nike oregon project we believe u.s. anti duping agency's investigation was extensive and robust but just a month ago the u.k. openly refused to hand over more fire us all to doping probes to usada for retesting now there's no word whether this these new revelations would lead to the much sought retesting of ferrous probes because who knows what kind of further controversies surrounding the pride of britain sport such a move would uncover after this latest panorama bombshell we are sociologist and

sports cashmore swimming coach heinrich's hendricks for their thoughts on the scandal. i'm sorry i just don't buy the fact that some will or some people could be so forgetful if someone injects a substance into you you don't forget you can just walk away and say no they didn't do it and then sometime later say oh i forgot it happened ok to say now this is all through pete over the last 24 hours we did nothing that wasn't compliant with wider protocols you know if this al connotate is ok if administered in the right dosage yes but they're also saying it may not be within the spirit of sport what does that mean you know this to me is it's so of they are it's illegal or is it there's no 2 ways about it and it has been a violation of a lot of code then i'm afraid u.k. athletics has to be brought to justice so i sing that's all

a little bit funny what happened now and this time in the u.k. a city has to say sure at 1st more far set i don't want to take. on a t. and suddenly it seems he has he taken it and the u.k. as leave it as a station chief medical officer says it was legal and nothing was documented it's for me all a big lie sometimes i wonder if this slits or a doctor saying that people are stupid imagine the same thing happened in the russian this time saying gratia would be blocked again for the next or another 4 for us but the same like melody in the u.k. is a small city. the marks about castro say u.s. democratic frontrunner bernie sanders rounded on by his rivals in the last t.v.

debates before super tuesday we'll bring you that story and more after the break. same wrong. but old rules just don't hold. any old belief yet to shake out just because get educated and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. that's also important. to. the nature and. all that is in the. structure to break decided

to show. some function so i hope for the. interval. welcome back the u.s. democrat 2020 hopefuls of clashed again in another t.v. debate which will be the last before south carolina and super tuesday and it's seen as decisive for the party's presidential nomination the front runner bernie sanders faced more attacks from his rivals for his earlier remarks defending literacy programs in fidel castro's cuba self-styled socialist words were initially made in a c.b.s. interview and his opponents were quick to bouts. were very opposed to believe or

3rd period but you know you go it's unfair to simply say everything is but you know when fidel castro came into office you know what he did he had a massive literacy program it's not a bad link after 4 years of looking on in horror as trump calls it up to dictators we need a president who will be extremely clear in standing against regimes that violate human rights abroad we can't risk nominating someone who doesn't recognize this fidel castro left a dark legacy of forced labor camps religious repression widespread poverty firing squads and the murder of thousands of his own people because your bernie let's talk about his literacy program. i'm sure not debate sadness also noted that his hands on cable with the same as barack obama's said this to president castro in cuba i said look you've made great progress in educating. young people every child in

cuba gets a basic education that's that's a huge improvement from where it wants. only michael dunn who can discuss the potential impact of sunday's remarks on device with a panel of guests. bernie sanders saying this thing at a time when the democratic party's already split it's the vibe that it's going through perhaps a bit of a p.r. it means here across this i mean this is a really bad decision isn't it sanders to me shows his integrity here look he's been saying this for years that there's videotapes of him saying these things about cuba and fidel castro in the soviet union i mean how can he backtrack on those things honestly you know he's just you know reaffirming ideas that he has had for many years the concern is not him saying good things about the literacy program it's i said it thing that mussolini got the trains to run on time that was not what it is that people associated with what mussolini did it happened to be the case but

he was a murderous dictator as was castro spineless democratic stablish man shows their true colors it's like a litmus test every time you can say one positive word about cuba or the one word in defense of venezuelan sovereignty they want to make sure there's no critique and so imperialist critique of the u.s. foreign policy establishment so this is a very sophisticated form of censorship to try to narrow the perimeter is as we have more and more debates within the democratic party coming out of the getting we can all get literacy is a bad thing literacy programs that's probably we could all agree on that but isn't this an era of judgment on bernie sourness paul given there are lots of countries with good literacy programs with social programs and robust human rights records i mean this is surely shooting one self in the foot before important electoral race we have a democratic nominee who is tipping is hat to castro the murderer for having a literacy program so it's not just

a question of steps or ship or narrowing things it's making 100 percent sure. we have a nominee who is electable and the concern is one to the public realizes what bernie sanders has said in the past he's an unreconstructed socialist and the united states that generally not a calling card the unofficial religion of the united states is it's a communism and we just have to listen to richard previous comments boy to hear some of the communism but the truth is that the youth of this country in the multi-national working class who supported bernie in nevada 46 percent of the votes that he won in nevada they're not in socialist they understand who the true enemy is the enemy is not venezuela or cuba or china it's the 1000000000 is right here in the pentagon in the white house the former. mayor of new york city michael bloomberg and on wall street i will quote george w. bush who said we judge other countries by the worst of their actions we judge our

own country by the best of our intentions and i think that's true you can look at a country like cuba and yes you can learn about literacy programs that work health care programs that work and we should be able to do that in a rational way again especially when you look at the fact that people like president trump and president obama before him and numerous presidents before them partnered with murderous regimes like saudi arabia which now is being funded by the u.s. in its war against yemen which is threatening to kill millions of people and yet that is something that isn't being discussed. violence broke out between riot police and hundreds of residents on the greek islands of lesbos and kills people there are a few areas of the authorities plan to build new migrant detention centers of this is resorted to tear gas to disperse the crowd which is found to rubbish bins and trying to blockade the local ports.

the way. this is democracy and for this is democracy is that if this is democracy then i don't know what to say i don't know what to say shame shame on the government shame on everyone it's disgusting it's betrays you and acceptable for the way the government has acted towards us and they would be treating us like we're enemy it islet if that means attack is a belongs to the islanders this country was based on democracy and the only they have done is create inhumanity while for the refugees and for the residents of the island. earlier greece's foreign minister announced a new policy aimed at protecting refugees stressing also that the country was on the frontline of the my good crisis greece continues to deal with the largest flows of migrants and refugees since the 2nd world war we are among the 4 e.u.

member states with the highest number of asylum applications despite the disproportionate burden we have saved thousands of lives in the sea newcomers are living in makeshift camps which are overcrowded for example the morning force was have been designated to accommodate around 3000 refugees but now the number there is almost 7 times. 74000 refugees arrived in greece with more than half the number still living in camps the share the country estimates some 100000 asylum seekers will reach its soil political analyst purchase a good view says that the situation could get worse without more you support. regarding the present situation as it is i want to go we're going to have classes between. the local people and the migrants the islanders do not want to be expelled from where on island so they're staying so far and just protesting if

things can get pretty words in the same manner as some of the silence of the gum condition is a dreadful so it's only logical of the crime will increase if he doesn't. come. and work on the front scene and then. do with the program like there's a program in greece as a european union program and not just as a program of just one gun free will be in big big trouble. ok thanks stay with me from dates in half an hour.
