nuclear forces treaty washington wants the treaty scrapped because of alleged violations by russia and mr lavrov explained why the very latest attempts to find common ground and save the treaty failed. a constructive move but it was a few screws that are the constructive proposal of the russian side to allow the united states at the expert level to inspect the nine and seven to nine missile which they suspect of violating the treaty however the united states arrived with a pre-determined position which consisted in an ultimatum and in demanding that we under. american supervision destroy this missile it's launches and all equipment associated with it. previously we've heard many times that the landmark i.n.f. treaty is a real pillar of security in europe so this time we even heard surrogate of move on by saying that he's counting on european states in this case to. the population of oxford to go to we are still ready to work to save the treaty on medium and shorter range missiles i hope that the european countries that are interested in this will also make efforts not to bounce to america's oppo

because that would help according to the man stemmed the tide of china's influence in the region mr lavrov called that outrageous and also said that he had warned he's japanese call league that moscow is absolutely not a fan of the idea of washington developing its missile defense system there he said that would also harm china that's how china also got a mentioned it was mentioned twice. for the update there was a force. thank you for watching to you with national could have a company with headlines more stories and. he's gone into a nihilistic fever. i think he got a kick. out the traveling across america what makes america. america this is a point. we always are on the current system. we're starting west with is going to head east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the b. i think i'm going to leave now doesn't get any more of them may be pleasing to the . officer. to get up off the ground serve began to. hurt them freeze on the sounds of an mit grown man the christening essentially. twisted away from the officer. the obvious or did they kind of lunge for the weapon once missed

mr john. thank you. so. ok we're just listening now to the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov he is in algeria at the moment speaking with his counterpart but he did say some very strong words there on events in venezuela claiming that some of the international community is blatantly interfering in the internal affairs of venezuela he said that backing the opposition there in venezuela is effectively creating a very dangerous situation in the country and years the international community to try and encourage national dialogue within venezuela venezuela to sort out the political problems and not try and topple the existing president through violence and that's what was said there very strong words from a circular for of on venezuela. now let's turn to another big story this hour an r.t. it is breaking news because scotland's former first minister alex salmond has been charged and is expected to appear in court later on thursday so let's go to party boyko he's in the u.k. for us polly what more do we know then about this case and the situation so far. well look alex salmond he's the former first minister of s

the deputy foreign policy er sey lavrov said because there's been no formal charges laid against mr.helan it was not the right time to discuss such things. as you say, not closing the door. there are people like maria butina who's pleaded guilty, waiting to hear how her case pans out to charges of trying to infiltrate american systems to affect government policy. or the famous james bond baddy victor boot who first connected with military intelligence here in russia. famed arms dealer and money launderer who was arrested in seecht asia and is now languishing in a u.s. prison, strongly believed to be high on the list of somebody that the russians would like to bring home in return for a spy perhaps. but the problem with mr. whelan is he really doesn't fit the profile of a spy. not least because he was dismissed as charged from the u.s. marine corps for larceny which pretty much precludes him as an operator to the intelligence agency. so what is also striking here fredricka is that whilst over the last week donald trump, the u.s. president, has defended the soviet invasion of afghanist

rather unusual twist this monday afternoon sergei lavrov and his japanese guest decided to talk to the journalists alone separately and a quite tough manner mr allowed made it clear that japanese officials should forget the idea of questioning russia's sovereignty over the islands if they want to get the peace agreement talks go on. this is our basic position any progress on the other issues is very difficult without a step in the right direction. drew the attention of our friends from japan to the fact that the issues of sovereignty over the islands are not discussed this is the territory of the russian federation. just a little later the japanese top diplomat said that despite the differences the two sides must find common ground so the moscow summit and the appearance of the two ministers was meant to be all about moscow and tokyo's attempts to sort these issues out however beijing and washington ended up getting a mention all because of the japanese prime minister's aide just a little earlier saying that washington should be looking forward to the appearance of these peace agreements signatures because that according to him would help st

mr. president donald trump, responsible for this policy of regime change in venezuela and the blood that could flow in venezuela will be the blood that will be on your hands. >> well, russia's foreign minister, sergey lavrovbacks maduro. he called the u.s. sanctions illegal, while the u.s.-backed interim president juan guaido praised them for protecting venezuelan assets. here's what he said. >> translator: for a very long time, maduro's regime stole this money, an estimated $4 billion, which is four times venezuela's gdp in losses. this would protect assets so that they can be used towards venezuelans and to attend to the humanitarian emergency that is at the center of our policies. >> there is a massive humanitarian crisis in venezuela. right now also the united nations says more than 40 venezuelans have been killed in the recent unrest and 850 have been arrested. but what happens if there is a violent crackdown? joining me now is senator bob menendez, a democratic senator from new jersey, the ranking member of the senate foreign relations committee. senator menendez, welcome to the program. >> thank you, christiane. >> so, let's start first with this -- the sanctions. you heard what president maduro sa
