france and great britain that voted against for example his position on jerusalem at the united nations assembly all of that really just shows how lost this trickster leader is when it comes to war the fair's really a war mongering hostility and increasing with it in the budgets but when it comes to a true vision a clear strategy new our alliances building alliances none of that was there more of a pap's continuity model when it came then to issues like iran and north korea he stayed the sort of course on on the tone of how these country. is represent a problem a threat to the u.s. vowing a campaign of maximum pressure on north korea and calling for congress to address quote unquote the flaws in the iran nuclear deal does or does that spell for the world going forward as is a very sensitive and contentious issues. you know this far we've heard a lot of talk about north korea. small rocket man or something like that and certainly certain hostility towards iran but concretely what has president trump did aside slat slapping north korea part of iran leadership with more sanctions we've seen sanctio

but certainly since last october with a movement towards a more the so-called transitional or national assembly there is a real attempt by the united arab emirates to use the the southerners in order to create their own zone of influence within the you know the southern part of the country moving towards for the ration and independence they are really exploiting the dirty secrets of yemen since the one nine hundred eighty six and center this is one nine hundred ninety and the attempt at unity later on the civil war in one thousand nine hundred and so on so forth and i think what they're looking for is to have a real strategic footing in the southern peninsula and they're hoping that southern yemen will be that in case the situation against the how it is doesn't go according to plan what more one bashar thanks for that turkey's army has announced the capture of a strategic hill in northern syria the military alongside allied syrian rebels have been battling the kurdish y p g for just over a week turkey accused of using mt sinai to fire shells across the border into killis well that takes the tur

northern syria let's discuss this now with dr scheiner car bias is the president of the kurdistan national assembly of syria. the turkish ground operation against the syrian kurds i mean it's well under way they told people it was happening but it was already happening when they told them so they're always going to stop this at any point could it develop though could this become a fully fledged war in such a sensitive region. could you repeat the last section i didn't he just went in is this going to develop into a into a full blown conflict do you think given how sensitive the region is. i'm sure it does not help destabilize the region i'm sure they would cause more radicals to come into the region you know we have to look at the underlying issue to the turks they do not oppose kurdish entity created anywhere doesn't matter whether iraqi kurdistan syria or turkey or iran so they're against the kurdish people there are not against terrorist organization as they claim everybody asks for their god given right human rights simple right the turks are against that so yes this is the stabilizing the issu

which is now the supreme body of venezuela which has which bypasses the democratically elected national assembly has said they're going to do it in less than two months and going to live this man who was a well known opposition leader now in exile says that this is what google had planned all along he says and this will consolidate the dictatorship in that country and in fact he even told al jazeera that he is calling for what he calls a humanitarian intervention by the u.n. or any other international group meanwhile the foreign ministers gathered here have been taken completely off guard and they are meeting at this hour still negotiating trying to figure out what to do given that the venezuelan foreign minister who's not taking part in these talks but who is still in chile may we speculate be talking to them at this moment let's hear what the foreign minister of paraguay had to say after the news broke. this is good publicity were to be something that can be done of course we know through the national courts if we just hear somebody we don't recall my name. in the decision to take it very soon
