hello there i'm a military man you're watching in question broadcasting from our to america's national news headquarters in washington d.c. we want to welcome our viewers from across the nation and all around the world here are today's top stories 1st the u.s. again denies being involved in that failed coup attempt in venezuela flat out rejection made during a u.n. security council hearing details coming up next plus president trump visits battleground state michigan to meet workers at ford motor plant manufacturing ventilators during this pandemic but will his recent beef with the democratic governor there create a distraction that international voices are growing louder or warning israel

against parts of the west bank will benjamin netanyahu is newly formed government those warnings will discuss it's time to boost your use i.q. . more than 2 weeks after a botched beachfront invasion on the shores of venezuela 2 u.s. mercenaries captured by a bit of will be forces have again publicly admitted they had the backing from the u.s. meantime on wednesday a special remote hearing a united nations security council was held over accusations that the u.s. was behind that failed coup attempt but while the u.s. continues to deny its support of operation it did have some choice words for russia is rachel blevins is joining us now to discuss the latest on this so rachel how did this hearing even come about so russia was actually become true calling for this

hearing based on the letter that was submitted to the u.n. security council by i've been this way a law which was calling for some sort of response to this attempted to talk on their government take a listen to a portion of that letter. i quote armed groups of mercenaries and terrorists organized trained financed in protected by the governments of the republic of colombia and the united states of america illegally entered the venezuelan territory now the us ambassador to the u.n. argue that they never should have even considered the letter in the 1st place because the us does not recognize nicolas maduro as the president of venezuela here's what all she had to say. the letter from the illegitimate mature regime that prompted today's meeting. as such letters always are a long winded compilation of fantastical accusations and demonstratable phosphorescence unfortunately for the 2nd time in less than a month our russian colleagues have indulged their client regimes habit of blaming

others for its policy choices so in addition to those allegations the u.s. is also arguing the blame should be on russia for taking this letter as credible in the 1st place wow ok so then how has russia responded or have they well the russian deputy minister to the u.n. argued that if this is a case where the u.s. had no involvement whatsoever in this operation then why was it led by 2 american citizens who just happened to be targeting the same president the trouble ministration has been trying to overthrow for more than a year now take us know what he said because authorities claim that they have nothing to do with this league lead to believe them but feel to explain that according to the contract to american citizens where plenty that they cost of legitimately to sell the president and bring him to the u.s. . now this operation was led by a green beret veteran jordan grew dro who spent months looking for investors

claiming his goal was to overthrow the venezuelan government and then secure the oil fields which would lead to a lucrative return on investment he claimed he had contacts in d.c. the backing of the state department and that he was working with opposition leader one who has had the full support of the trumpet ministration now the attempt was carried out on may 3rd just 3 days after former national security advisor john bolton took to twitter to say morning is coming to venice whale again and a few weeks after the state department offered a $15000000.00 reward for information on. and what about iran they are sending supplies or sending tankers over to venezuela right now what's the latest on that so the iranian ambassador to venezuela confirmed that that fleet of 5 chambers carrying more than 45000000 dollars worth of gasoline and supplies is still in route to venezuela despite ongoing complaints from the u.s. and he argued that these are 2 independent sovereign nations and that they should

be able to have trade and legal agreements with each other no matter the sanctions they are facing from the u.s. now venezuela's defense minister also revealed the country's military plans to be ready and waiting to escort iran's tankers as soon as they reach venezuela's exclusive economic zone and as we have been reporting venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world but due to the ongoing economic crisis that has been compounded by sanctions from the u.s. they are unable to refine their own crude oil so they have turned to other countries like iran for help and of course the u.s. has been very against not remains to be seen if washington is going to try to move forward and stop that exchange parties rachel blevins thank you for that update thank you. and for analysis on this ongoing situation we will go to danny shaw he's a professor of latin american and caribbean studies at the city university. new york temper faster thanks for being with us 1st can you clear up any confusion for us as to why the u.s. is having such

a problem with 2 countries that iran and venezuela obviously who are both sanctioned by the u.s. now doing business with one another is there any precedent for how to deal with a situation like this. there's a wrong precedent. against any country that there is anything but not a mirror when who. or is this where i read essentially in the seats. in the storm comes in every right to trade on usually beneficial sounds so these iranian these 5 iranian takers they don't just fly the flag of iran they really fly the flag of humanity the entire global so yes i a 3rd world who strives for a better way forward now professor what what do you make of venezuela's perspire thus far i mean having a military escort to move these vessels to shore doesn't that visually kind of amp up the tension. in our. country are

bennett who are very hard there are saying things like you were like they're like the you are they are unprepared or all 'd. or bombers were uncertain woolgrowers don't consider where you are you think you have an incredibly cool headed crime wave that night and they get more and more 5000000. 9th ward who probably next year. out in the priority of trial was not really their overthrow are going to make the. and the un hasn't really been too vocal on this entire venezuela issue they've not fully backed why doa in his camp but also they have a really full throated thing back in the door either and they're definitely not telling the u.s. to stand down on any action against venezuela including these botched you know off

the books attempts at a coup so what's the un's role here what's their position. your answers are pretty well 'd earned this morning. or it's. never a are not denounced these mercenaries who are there are some who would never denounce the 50000000 pound say that the u.s. illegally criminally put on the head of nicolas mogul u.s. alchemy and the other the elite the bill of aryan leadership they've done very little to fight against these sanctions the sanctions are incredibly cruel essentially denying the venezuelan people yes i mean threatening the kind of what's out. facebook google things that we in the imperialist countries would take for granted it is all designed to demoralize and dishearten but as one people if they continue to fight back by any means necessary in some areas and professor you just a moment ago mentioned $1000.00 obviously today we are are learning now that latin

america now has the fastest growing rate of covert cases do you expect the u.s. to have any sympathy towards men as well as they battle this worldwide pandemic. where you are. at the very height of this global un president and pandemic all they've done is tightening restrictions on their plan has always been nice these sanctions are not the end and it existed for a long time under democratic presidents eases as well and what they seek to do is completely drain venezuela of its economic potential create hardship create mass my . gratian create hunger stoke the flames of any sectarianism and then seen an influx knows the whole gamut of us mainstream channels and newspapers trends around points the finger my guru mother who model that's the only name no ever mention the prying archibald mentioning any of the bowl of ari leadership and they really don't

ever under any widespread hugo chavez his influence in this bolivarian revolution has been for 2 decades and professor i have a little bit of time left and you just mentioned that venezuela has actually been in the crosshairs of the us before donald trump can you give us a bit of a brief breakdown on as to why. i think we all know why because it's got enormous natural resources the mines the oil the same reason that led america is going across is a spanish colonial is imported coalition in the us neo colonialism was junior partners now for 5 centuries so not much has changed we saw with the us did to the sundanese the revolution in 1979 we saw the us invasion of grenada and i see 83 the invasion of panama $989.00 united states continues to have this night 1824 month row this attitude that led america has a backyard but if you will let america or are sick of this they're going to say and

so we sort of they're going to defend alba in the gains of the both of our in projects right professor danny shall we got to leave it right there but thank you so much for your very hot take on this. we. are a while the country is focused on that 1000 pandemic it is a big day for the battleground state of michigan president trump is headed there right now as we speak and is expected to visit with some essential workers are his fair project is live outside of the white house out there and there has been a heated back and forth between that state's governor and the president. yes there has actually michigan has been at the front and center of not only the coburn 1000 going to make when you also have in the state you have dams breaking you have flooding you have thousands of people having to be evacuated from their homes but for the trump administration it's more for them about how the battleground state is going to vote this coming november now we're going to give you a live look here trump actually just touched down moments ago in epsilon in

michigan where he is expected to for tour of the ford motor facility and that's where yesterday the president was actually asked whether he was going to be wearing a mask while he tours this plant which is in the process of actually manufacturing ventilators to which trump said quote it all depends now that's where michigan's attorney general she fired back saying that if troubled did not wear a mask while he tours this facility he would not be allowed to come back to the state now because of the coronavirus pandemic michigan has considered implementing mail in ballots now this november to which president donald trump followed up in tweets wednesday threatening to hold up federal funds if michigan decides to give mail in ballots the green light listen here. well very specific for a day that you spoke with ago that we didn't discuss that we really discussed before the topic at hand plus the dams break you so we did but we'll let you know if it's necessary you'll be finding out the before you go very soon to. drop

referring there to the 2 dam breaks that lead to severe flooding in evacuations in the central part of the state so far more than 10000 people have been forced to leave their homes now trump says that he has sent fema and to help the area but again as far as sending federal funding there is that threat of those mail in ballots now it's unclear that governor gretchen whitman whitmer scuse me will join the president on his tour of the 4th facility today but thursday morning she did announce that the state is starting to lift its covert 1000 restrictions that have been in place for months this is protests have been going on at the state's capital to reopen now with more announcing that the ban is now lifted on non-essential medical and dental procedures reopening re. tail and residents can actually gather in groups of 10 or less all which can start immediately listen here. to do to who's shown their own regions of michigan are ready for us to. step forward we're doing this incrementally on multiple occasions so i could dial we're turning now to

switch that we just. now were to say that the stay at home order in michigan probably will be going forward and actually be extending it was actually expected to extend until next week but the tensions between whitmer and donald trump seem to be rising a little bit and it is still not know whether those 2 will actually meet today face to face while he tours the ford motor plant facility they did talk on the phone multiple times yesterday but again still unclear whether they will meet face to face now trump did when the battleground state of michigan back in 2016 against hillary clinton now many political analysts say manilla that the chances of winning the mitten state all depends on the economy and how it actually rebounds once the covert 19 pandemic starts to take a little bit of a fall reporting in front of the white house fair and fronsac party. and despite america slowly reopening another 2400000 people have applied for unemployment benefits last week since the start of the pandemic nearly 39000000 americans have lost their jobs although the number of new filings have dropped for

city rather in the country brought to a standstill by this pandemic and anybody who's ever been to the city and have seen the images of these eerie quiet silent times square streets they know that this is unheard of and not seen even following 911 and one writer a let it all out unvarnished his calls to reopen the city that never sleeps so in a new op ed for the new york post we're going to discuss that we're going to bring in our very own very vocal new yorker lionel of lionel media lionel my friend you and mrs l. have been under the cuomo lockdown for months now you've witnessed this firsthand but i've also heard from friends there 1st hand accounts from there also new yorkers who say they are witnessing death at every turn so which is it is new york city really ready to reopen yes. yes by the way it's so good to see you it's been 70 days 70 days since i've been in this this whatever the status call

let me tell you something with all of this it depends you know you show these these kind of a demolition day after time square but i'm i'm in hell's kitchen we have riverside park here just people out all the time and there's the people it's there's activity the comfort is right well i'm pointing to wall here but the comfort right here was here it came people were out and about a jogging it's like what reality do you want manila we went from being told that we would have received your regular trucks to to handle the dead bodies stacked like cordwood as there always and poof they just stopped talking about we had the comfort you know the javits center with 3000 beds to angle the side of people who would be dead just went away they were digging ditches and makeshift graves in parks here in the city to handle the death and the destruction of these people who

are unclaimed and nobody talked about it that we i mean so what reality do you want and discover never discover who figures what he did the prime time have you watched him have you ever spent any time listening to him wax prosaic about my brothers. and nor do we did we because what are you talking about then we've got i why am i out why don't i have and we got to point out that the governor's younger brother gives him a lot of air time on a different network and like you said you're right right now governor andrew cuomo seems to be this media darling he has as daily press or as he gets around of applause for the handling of this in his state and i don't know new yorkers they tend to vote democratic but there are a whole lot of republicans in new york who back try. who want the city and the state for that matter to completely reopen and some are even blaming the media for

this continued lockdown what's your take on that. well yes to all of the above i mean this is a strange this is a strange city it's i've got news for a lot of people whatever your impression was politically in terms of left and right that goes out of the way when when you have new yorkers being told you can't go to a church but you can go to a liquor store like everywhere else where i'm asked don't wear a mask some people abide by it but you have this mayor de blasio who's in distress match this lights out match with the governor to see who can be tough for him just weird parallel universe instead of government saying listen we're going to be trying to ease back middle of the question is very simply this is this work closing down the entire world economy and look at people right now people are just good with the media discussed that per usual there's going to be a revolution bloodless of course and peaceful but people have had it there's going

to be a reconfiguration and a recalibration of everything political parties businesses media oh. this is the beginning i'm feeling it every single day people have at it and that doesn't mean we don't believe the virus is true and i don't. know on this the the president's former fixer michael cohen he's been released early from prison today after serving just one year out of his 3 year sentence because of coronavirus concerns in prison he's going to remain on house arrest for the remaining term of his sentence doesn't that speak to keeping the city on lockdown or does this reflect on the form of cronyism. well this is i mean this is this is a good term in prison but because of the better question is if if if you're not calling why don't other people let up what is he so special if you'd only one who has he is he susceptible to this this isn't making sense i mean look i think we'll

talk about that when in terms of why he's even there in the 1st place pub and noah everywhere we turn around there's inequity why does he get out why do some people why could some people in connecticut they're open for business sort of you're in a boy in the bubble kind of a world but still but not new york new jersey is different weird city to city is different so this is the land of equal justice under the law it's nothing but inequality and i'm telling you people have had it you're not going to recognize a city a year from now or this country people are shifty big time what a weird i miss you i miss you too i don't it is a weird new norm we don't see each other often enough and in person and i wind up losing my arm why don't i why don't you go check out what he's got to say on you tube there's a lot more to it. thank you. and others from around the world for a strong 4th straight night riot police in paris have clashed with protesters there over the death of an 18 year old motorcyclist overnight the protesters could be
