An opposition senator has now taken over as interim president and morale is has fled to mexico along with many of his Party Members he removed himself from office on monday off the weeks of violence triggered by claims his election victory was rigged rollers also said he stepped down to end any persecution of his allies describe events as a coup violence looting and vandalism followed after his he quit and some of his supporters are now saying they fear for their lives. They have carried out a coup detat against does as of last night we are living like a dictatorship times they are hunting our leaders they are hunting its very likely that they will see me and what my head to. The divisions are caused by reset the persecutor as bolivia and its doors from alto they discriminate against us because we come from alto in the past they discriminate against those who wear skirts and we want to allow it as an american expert Daniel Schorr has told us that there is no question this is a coup and that interim president jeanine and there is has no legitimate claim to power. So janey i hear. Has absolutely no right to declare her so president this is another thought brooklyn model just like where you go so we are seeing a replaying what occurred in maine as well of course to the delight of trapped in washington into one of their stooges in power no question this is a coup because it will more out of this war in the 47 percent of the electoral well more than 600000 votes or 10 percent more. But of course another term for it will walk out of its obesity detriment the chance to actually do something nice soon the proponents of meal the bill and so they staged its last in a military coup. Their people and they still come up to us 18 years into power so that they could. Resume control libya. Annual summit of the worlds 5 major emerging economies is now taking place in brazil russian president Vladimir Putin has arrived in brazil with only those ready to get down to business the brics group represents over 3000000000 people worldwide and 6 to develop economic and political cooperation. All the day has been marked by protests to offer support to the venezuelan Opposition Leader one kwaito earliest storms that countrys embassy in brasilia from one a reaffirmation a report. I imagine as well embassy here in the city of brasilia in dayton i can tell you that the situation here on the ground is quite boring just a while ago there was a fight between the supporters of and as well as legitimate president Nicolas Maduro and those who own the site of the countrys selfproclaimed leader one who i dont and before that some of these supposed to us managed to storm the building and get inside and right now we are receiving contradictory reports on who is in fact in charge of the embassy right now and the most interesting and important thing is that the local Police Although there are many officers here on the ground looting military Police Special forces but basically they have no alternative theory because officially were still recognizes mr quite door as been as well as legitimate leader and therefore supports he supporters here and this is by the way the Biggest Challenges for brics countries and a big division for us for them as their positions on whats going on in caracas differ so much that. Brazil has just issued a note recognizing one go i knew i was ready as well and president. Of youth it was asian lead image to go i dont came to a square raceys eyes to heaven and appealing to gods declared himself the president ok but god didnt tell us his response to that appeal therefore i think we need to come back to us and be guided by democratic procedures and rules trying to firmly oppose the principle of noninterference in the Eternal Affairs of other countries and maintains that the affairs of venezuela must be chosen and decided by its people the brazilian president mr ball Sonora Police said on his Facebook Page that he does not support the storm of the embassy here and he hopes that the situation on the ground will get back to normal so we make spec that these will be hailed soon but this news that but israel is not the only one believing their resignation of. President there is seen by some. Breeks Member States has a fish shola due to most democratic given process while others including russia say this is simply quit tom so these topics hot topics are expected to be discussed by others on brinks later today well keep you updated of course but all in all i have to say that made me that despite all those disagreements between brazil russia china india and south africa all in all the influence of this issue is International Group is for the growth and it is becoming even more at a time when we notice the decline of so many are there International Groups of such kind take for example apec its recent summit was cancelled last 1000000 due to situation in chile understandably but we do not hear any information about new day old location set up no one is talking about that right now. As the on leaders instead of going to the meetings preferred to send their foreign minister is an even g 7 last time was not able to agree on anything and issue a joint communique so in this situation some say the drinks is rising and growing and probably we mean quest for a bigger role in global Decision Making and we expect many interesting meetings and comments later on when state. Is a big brother watching your every move once confined to works of fiction but now privacy concerns are being raised again with a federal inquiry up into the u. S. Of a googles latest efforts to collect and share data the tech giant says its been harvesting personal information on the health of millions of americans and certainly get to medical care provider has told quarter. It wasnt too long ago that a person who thought he was being watched all the time might have been written off as a bit delusional but nowadays hed be living in reality take google its been secretly working with one of the Worlds LargestHealth Care Nonprofits to gather tens of millions of americans medical records the newly revealed initiative is called project nightingale and google claims theres no fell play to be clear under this arrangement ascensions data cannot be used any other purpose than for providing the services referred in under the agreement and patient data cannot and will not be combined with any Google Consumer data google says the project is just helping Health Care Organizations improve the experience they provide but the companys going about its business without any of these peoples consent whats even more unsettling is that its completely legal a lot of lation and laws would need refreshing if you like to call it refreshing because of amount of Data Collected in different ways we are surrounded by more and more devices every day so a lot flows in the thick relations needs to be revisited when it comes to companies snooping around their users information google is far from the only one i phone users dont know their app activity is being sent to advertisers by default that doesnt exactly seem to correspond with apples slogan. You can of course opt out but apple says youll see the same amount of ads and they just wont be as interesting but what about Cambridge Analytic 50000000 facebook profiles had their information harvested by means of a seemingly harmless app with special permission from facebook they had. Apps on facebook that were given special permission to harvest data not from just the person who uses the opera joins the army but also it would then go into their entire Front Network and pull out all of the friends data as well and thats just the tip of the iceberg right now thousands of apps are accessing the data of millions of facebook profiles instagram is using peoples personal information for basically anything it wants the list goes on and on maybe those crazy people were right after all. The leaders of turkey on the u. S. Are right now giving a press conference after their meeting in the white house you can see some live pictures right behind me on the big screen now as president i do ones 1st official visit to washington since 2017 and it comes at a difficult time in the 2 countries relations head of the talks so do i gave an optimistic message. Despite the forgiveness for you know relations we agree with trauma the problems will be resolved and our relations improved. Now there are of course the number of factors behind the unprecedented strain on relations between the u. S. And turkey right now among them and who is offensive against washingtons kurdish allies in ne in syria while american lawmakers have also called for sanctions against the nato ally the us over turkeys decision to purchase the f. 400. 00 Missile System from russia with more details heres our correspondent caleb maupin. The president s of turkey and the United States now to call this meeting highly anticipated would be an understatement especially as the 2 countries are going through a rocky patch syria the kurds relations with russia the arms trade you name it. When the United States began supporting the kurdish fighters against i still that was a turning point the usa has long maintained that it can be friends with both turkey and the Kurdish Forces that on current considers to be terrorists and turkey as you know is a nato ally or trigger clearly important nato ally turkey just give me your surance that you are not going to be bullied by turkey your present in order want to throw in the syrian kurds under the bus. And theres no administration tension to any large yellow objects whatsoever thank you now its always been a tough choice and the latest blow came last month when trump unexpectedly pulled u. S. Forces out of Northern Syria at that point turkey launched a deadly offensive against the kurdish militias in the area the condemnation and threats from washington only adding fuel to the fire turkey put us all in a very terrible situation turkey with regard the alliance is heading in the wrong direction ive got sanctions against turkey that away introduced next tuesday these are sanctions from hill we need swift and bipartisan action to repair the damage caused by the decision to allow the turkey to attack our chief partner in the fight against isis terrorists it seems now the countries have agreed to a permanent cease fire in syria but lets be honest its still a highly volatile situation. And theres a major side plot here turkey is in the process of buying the russian made s. 400. 00 anti aircraft Missile System instead of the u. S. Patriot system and no surprise washington is up in arms turkeys purchase of the s 400. 00 is inconsistent with its commitment to nato and will have a detrimental impact on turkish in iraq for ability with the alliance the United States has actually threatened to sanction turkey and remove them from the f. 35 Fighter Jet Program of which and car is a member. And the problem is dont end there u. S. Senators have called out trump for his turkish policy and called on him to cancel the meeting with president arawak president the guns decision to invade Northern Syria has a disastrous consequences for u. S. National security has led to deep divisions in the Nato Alliance and caused a humanitarian crisis on the ground given the situation we believe that now is a particularly inappropriate song for president obama to visit the United States and we urge you to rescind this invitation quite a lead up to a crucial meeting now with all these problems to solve the 2 countries are remaining optimistic and trump and their one are playing up the idea and the fact that they are still friends but whether the meeting is a success or failure a vital follow up is already on the calendar a phone call has been scheduled between turkish president iran and russian president Vladimir Putin kaleb up in r. T. New york. Looking live now to mikes abrams associate professor of Public Policy at Northeastern University welcome to the program and now opening the News Conference to us now trump held a Strategic Partnership with turkey given everything thats happened how healthy is that partnership right now. Thats not exactly going for the president to describe the mood of the relationship u. S. Turkish relations are the opposite of healthy theyre probably the worst theyve ever been when you look at the touch and its hard to believe not theyre both part of nato the United States has really gone extraordinarily disappointed by turkish involvement in syria turkey was perhaps the largest state sponsor of terrorism and when you look at i said im not particularly the foreign fighters the 40000 foreign fighters who travel into syria. If youre rios in turkey them for the areas in syria other overseen by turkey are almost invariably the ones where we see the kinds of terrorists that americans are most concerned about their own. Increasingly with islamic fighters oh im going so now and so thats been going on really for several years now for the duration of the socalled Rebel Program and then turkey moved again with to Northern Syria not bad although trump says that there is found a permanent ceasefire organizations Like Amnesty International say otherwise and so are the currents on the ground say other ones christians on the ground say either one is a credible reports of sectarian violence indeed the art some have labeled them war crimes now i dont want to overstate the amount of bloodshed it hasnt actually been as bad as some people had feared but nonetheless there are ongoing hostilities and there may well be more and then of course it looks like to Many Americans like the kurds have been thrown under the bus and the kurds are correctly credited with being the main source of u. S. Partners on the ground. Fighting against islamic steam where is turkey are they getting a better Islamic State and u. S. Policy hands especially if you visit to turkey in Northern Syria at the expense probably kurds and so particularly on the syrian issue for us turkish relations are you know very bad 7 place and the only wonder there are 2 seems to have a positive spin on it is the president yeah as youre saying that the difference is i have a strategy in the middle east that they run very deep so can you see those be results moved. No i dont its really hard to see what a winner would look like out of this meeting certainly trump is not going to reverse himself in terms of the fact we have seen 2 turkish involvement in jordan syria turkey is there to step in i think that there will be some strong pressure on her long term reign in the rebel forces that hes using because those are sort of fierce fighting proxy militia agents on the ground who are most responsible for the civilian attacks certainly though the pressure of the neighborhood phone call but yeah i mean going to the heart you know ill be very curious that the press conference is actually going on concurrently and of course the president is going to try to say that something important wasnt she but for turkey in syria who will remain there past 400 own Weapons Program and i dont expect to be through pursed i think that trump is going to talk about the possibility father increased financial ties business relations between our 2 countries but otherwise i dont really perceive any concrete win out of this meeting and the timing is quite interesting because simon and the trump meeting is going to be followed up by a shadow of a phone call between iran and lot of may appear to end so what do you expect to come out of that. I think it may have to do with the 15 Fighter Force on the u. S. S. Reluctant to have turkey have it because of the anti care system which is quite sophisticated from russia the us 400 and so i dont think that the u. S. Wants to have the just 400 type aircraft system particularly if turkey is getting these u. S. Fighter planes because it could provide some intel in terms of combat and so is looking to leverage the United States i think by threatening to turn to russia and so were not only going to buy the entire aircraft check now our technology and weapons and what were going to use their fighter planes things from to the United States and and so on why dont we diplomatic player right now and hes playing the u. S. Especially flirting with russia so far it seems to be working. We think come some minds back to trump left in which he asked the turkish president not to be a full. On promise to the time to retaliate in due time will he and that what kind of response do you expect. You know all the trouble is one of those people we were personal relationships seem to matter often transformation shirts with foreign leaders who sort of inconsistent with the american publics perception arbitron it was also quite inconsistent with himself.
