sanctions as a weapon of mass destruction and a must form of warfare with donald trump threatening even more restrictions on the country's. good evening and welcome this is our. residence of towns in northeastern france are creating a stink by trash talking the neighbors are accusing them of some serious cross border flying to pick the dubin ski 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 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 shitty 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 but 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 pond turnip. and if so here's an invoice is it and. then yeah it says enter or so of s. . when the company was contacted it didn't know any knowledge of illegal waste dumping but the local resident jessica told me that since that statement the fly tipping has continued it's been 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 regulated 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've been to 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 are calling on the e.u. to step in to solve

a problem that some believe europe's open borders are helping to facilitate schalit do you can ski for r.t. in mosul. the number of new coronavirus cases reported outside china house for the 1st time exceeded the number of new cases inside the country which is doing china reported 411 new cases in the us of the world reported 42730 countries around the world are now battling against the virus to understand congress or ski spoke with celebrated russian medical professor viola ji specialist dmitri live of about the truth from a post by the spread. here is the work although there are 2 types of corona virus the alpha corona virus involves a human virus has been circulating among people for hundreds of years seasonal

corona virus a type of acute respiratory viral infection this year around 7 percent of acute respiratory viral infection cases are coronaviruses. there are no humans just got accustomed to them yes humans got accustomed to them they are lethal they cause some trouble especially among children why these viruses mostly spread in winter. and winter our body is going through some restructuring or a decrease in the resistance to infections secondly when to there's a high concentration of people in houses buildings bars and other places and the high concentration of people is a condition for epidemic spread why is it happening in china there are many people them and there's a high concentration of population them they call it a deadly virus on t.v. it's not deadly it's always been and will always be and we should be ready for that i've got 2 words to say about masks these goals rags aren't must at all but in

china and even in some places in russia they have tight mask with a respirator they can protect other people if you're ill so the mask on top you personally know or only to a minor extent why is this does the response through our eyes as well yes and also these paws they can protect against large droplets a person becomes infected when he or she speaks maybe i have infected you or you're trying to infect me i hope you won't i also hope not to be honest masks can partially protect from that. u.s. president on trungpa certain further sanctions on venezuela's whole. american restrictions a weapon of mass destruction accusing washington of waging a must of. been a year since the u.s. formally recognized as well as opposition leader was the country's interim president on the cold shoulder of the legitimate government of nicolas maduro

washington stance on the supposed transfer of power is looking increasingly although not more but explains. 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 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 don't know basic food they have no medicine it's incredible what's happened it is well know we're watching very closely we don't like it we don't like it not at all 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 in excess of using the blockade of food medicine and weapons to politically coerce depriving entire countries of their

own means to sustain and develop themselves are actually there are completely criminal these unilateral kearse or criminal actions are equivalent in scope and effectiveness 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. how many there. how well are they able to provide consular services. ok. very interesting because i hear that there and 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 the by american officials duras grip 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 legitimate president of venezuela one glider the ear that 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 venezuelans 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 but of recognize one why do as the legitimate president of venezuela but over $100.00 countries have not recognized one way to go and still seem as the legitimate president furthermore in the countries where dueto is recognized it's far from unanimous do you not agree that the recognition on. is an absolute gem barras months to anyone that has occupied this chamber and is a disgrace an under-powered of the member states of europe some of them about recognize. washington had very high hopes for one guede all 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 embassy in israel and government is the official government of venezuela whenever the us. dos a joke 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 the us is making this this farce 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 kwaito is the government it doesn't have any other option i mean he hasn't been able to push that mud euro note. the 2020 democrats hopefuls in the race for the white house have clashed again in another t.v. debates the last before super tuesday which is seen as decisive for the party's

presidential nomination the front runner bernie sanders face more attacks from his rivals for remarks that he made earlier defending the literacy programs of fidel castro's cuba the self-styled socialist words were initially made in a c.b.s. interview and his opponents were quick to pounce. we're very opposed to believe or 3rd theory nature of cuba but you know you know 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 think after 4 years of looking on in horror as trump cozied 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 sure bernie let's talk

about his literacy program. during the debates and this was quick to point out though that his views on people with the same as barack obama's and i said this president castro and cuba i said look you have made great progress in educating. young people every child in cuba gets a basic education that's a huge improvement from where it wants. they don't like clinton the whole constituency potentially the sun does remarks on the rice 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 a 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 that anyone can all get literacy is a bad thing literacy programs that's probably we could all agree on that but isn't

this an error of judgment on bunny 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 oneself 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 once 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 anti-communism and we just have to listen to richard previous comments but see here some of the anti-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 are not anti socialists 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. for the come the climate change

skeptics might have found their own teenage icon with the rather opposing views of to go to that story after the break. the point is should we actually be charging for education because this is when we charge for things is because it's been a benefit to the person who is buying it and that's the audiology that took over education about 30 or 40 years ago but the perspective of education was originally that education is a benefit for society in general i wouldn't want to live in a society without doctors or engineers all saw it as what happened without economists. saying it of being a profit benefit ignoring the public means that we're ignoring that the skill basis we need for a sophisticated society and putting the burden of that school biases on the

individuals and what we turned it into is just now the trend institution of higher education become a form a version of a real estate scam that is not the basis for a functional society. join me every thursday on the alex simon sure and i'll be speaking to a guest of the world of politics sport business i'm show business i'll see you then . to percent of employees in britain's arts and culture sad to say that they hide the news if they feel they don't fit in within the liberal norms and it includes support for the country's conservative party among other things and you surveys revealed a growing environment of self-censorship our survey shines a damning light on the corrosion bullying intimidation and intolerance that is

active among the community that thinks of itself as liberal open minded and equitable. in a poll of some $500.00 respondents many highlighted risks of holding so-called controversial opinions spanning topics including brigs its religion sexuality and gender fewer than half those questioned said that they felt their views were respected some even claim that they were offered money to stay quiet about corrupt practices in the field other splinted to why the problems in their working communities. it wouldn't be advisable to point out that the arts tend to do well under the conservatives arts culture and indeed education sectors are not dominated by monolithic politically correct class mostly of privileged white middle class people by the way who impose their intolerant views across those sectors anything to do with gender issues especially trans issues who get a lot of flak either for not being on message enough or being off message or 2 on message. one of the traditional bastion of free expression is also under pressure

a great deal of noise in different ways if they think an academic or a visitor who's been invited to speak at the university or one of the students at the university has said something which doesn't fit in with the kind of left wing politically correct consensus so there are lots of students who are very shy about expressing their views particularly of the conservatives and i don't particularly believe in bricks in. the cake with now at other stories making headlines around the globe. i. a 3rd day of violence and government protests in the indian capital has taken the death toll to at least 27 according to local media the rest was triggered by a so-called citizenship amendment act that in criticize for discriminating against muslims in the country a controversial law was adopted last december indian police have been using small
