10:01 am
thanks so much for joining us this hour. to the day since the u.k. voted to leave the european union. only just begun the referendum result created a political earthquake. felt today. we want our borders but we want our country back so i negotiate will need to begin under a new prime minister. pass on my thanks to his mom for the rigs i supplied i got the full woman this breaks it means. i've got a plan yet. doesn't have a clue it was
10:02 am
a really lousy day. and the community left behind i. promised that the reason my gambled and lost parliamentary majority over the price that issue. takes us through the twists and turns of britain's rocky road to break up. it was a very didn't change the course of history the forty eight percent who voted to stay were outraged although the others they were delighted the sum has risen. to become a national bank holiday we will call it a. night of firearms may have been jumping the gun his so-called independence day is still a distant prospect the referendum result killed the political career of david

cameron and allowed home secretary to resume aid to step up to the plate in the run up to the vote she had been a quiet remain but the desire to lead post brags that britain forced her to reconsider her position. in the. brics it means bricks it wrecks it means bricks it and we're going to make a success of it a year down the line that sounds like something from an alternate universe considering that to reason made called an election in order to strengthen her hand in the braggs it talks but ended up freefall in the polls and losing her parliamentary majority her atrocious result meant that politically her weakened government limped into negotiations with brussels earlier this week and bear in
10:04 am
mind these talks were never going to be a walk in the park chaum created. what. can be concluded quickly. threats against a question that's been issued by european politicians commission was trying to bully the british people arguments over whether the u.k. would pave the e.u.'s one hundred billion dredges it bill guaranteeing the rights of he citizen. as in the u.k. and who would get custody of gibraltar thorny issues but there is aroused took a back seat when britain was hit by a wave of terror for terror attacks in the space of just three months to be precise and many britons held to reason may directly responsible because she'd been head of the home office six years before becoming prime minister and with all the
10:05 am
security and political chaos few people even notice that earlier this week brings it negotiations officially kicked off but not in the way that london would have hoped the british government's already been accused of caving into brussels over the break that schedule and opinion polls now show that if the country got to vote again it would reject leaving you so just like two reason may the plan for braggs it went from strong and stable so weak and wobbly within the space of just one yeah. a special e.u. summit on its second day you know what the opinions of the british prime minister and the president of the european commission seem to differ widely. you still none the wiser to what the u.k. actually words. i was pleased to be able to search out which is a very very serious e.u.
10:06 am
citizens who are living in the united kingdom and you giving a clear idea of the kind of the u.k. government for. a while oh british politicians bickering over bricks at some of the still hope the divorce can be averted. you may say i live below but you're. going to file papers everything. if your government decides to apply the brakes and i'll be pretty happy we'll never be outside you're better dead inside someone they can still have that illusion which is a waste of time. before long. begins find out the extent to which wrecks it is a gentle stroll down the smooth calm land of cake consumption.
10:07 am
however to syria now where the us led coalition leading the still offensive on the city of raka is bombing everyone else what locals have told r.t. is rightly video agency despite the coalition's insistence it does take every civilian casualty seriously the grim situation on the ground does suggest otherwise but i knew little about any other official and what they are judgment of my family and no mistake at the level i deal with it about ashleigh i assure you that actually i'm a little bit made of a dash dash one that never has met yet and has met but you're the one you're the one that actually you know but didn't didn't have. and the dome that has if you look had the full that that has become a hold on my digital clock. when it hasn't leninism what i want. and has used little blue. did you and jim she.
10:08 am
didn't get to. show kids. now the u.s. led coalition hasn't denied using phosphorus which we just heard mentioned there in its operations is an extremely toxic substance and is banned from use as a weapon the coalition says it only uses phosphorus in permitted ways during battle for example to create a smoke screen however human rights watch has voiced concerns saying the substance does pose a risk to civilian health now the leading force fighting islamic state on the ground all the kurds of course who are being offered by the american government however washington support for the kurdish fighters irritates its long term ally turkey and i'm open reports on how the u.s. is trying to get around this problem. turkey was furious when it found out that the united states their longtime ally in nato partner was going into rock without them
10:09 am
. we do not need terrorist organizations like the p y d n y p g in the rock operation let us work together to wipe out. america the coalition and turkey can join hands and turn rocket into a graveyard for dash. as the united states is aligned with two bitter enemies in syria the turkish government and the kurdish fighters it's got a tricky bit of maneuvering to do secretary of defense mattis says that the united states will eventually take back the weapons it's now supplying to the kurds after the defeat of isis and this is turning into no small matter at this point the united states is shipping in heavy machine guns mortars other small arms and even some armored vehicles it's totaling over one hundred million dollars worth of war toys a large portion of which are going to the kurds want to sell finish some five hundred u.s. military personnel will have the task of collecting it all in an area that's almost
10:10 am
the size of pennsylvania maybe they'll knock on doors and say hey you know those weapons we let you yeah you're finished with them right and who knows what answer they might get the united states has promised to monitor the area and send out a monthly report that will include photographs this sounds like a great idea as the usa has already lost track of billions of dollars worth of weapons they sent to iraq and some of those weapons have ended up in the hands of terrorists there i think mattis made chromos inuits letter which presumably was gone but it still knowing very well that it probably would not be believed and very well would not be carried out but he made it trying to locate the target the u.s. is supplying the weapons for that it is the u.s. as a whole and. goals which seems to be to break off a part of syria to load the u.s. to dominate a separate part of syria basically they want to go to syria. and in violation of
10:11 am
syrian stubborn integrity a country is torn apart by civil war with different factions vying for power as civilians flee in chaos the pentagon has a brilliant idea send in more weapons just so long as they promise to give them back caleb mop and r.t. new york. russia's defense ministry has released a video showing missiles being launched from a warship on the submarine in the mediterranean sea they're targeting islamic state positions in syria. today. russian intelligence is tracking eisel fighters who've been trying to escape their stronghold iraq through the so-called southern corridor that's pretty much their only way out as the city has been surrounded by u.s. led coalition forces for quite some time now for we understand the fighters have been trying to go for two palmira of the hamas profits and that's where they've
10:12 am
been targeted in the latest series of air strikes from russia now as i still continue to lose ground a rocket this is certainly not the first time we've heard terrorist managed to escape the city in fact there have been reports last month of the kurds one of the main forces fighting isis opening up a chord or allowing the terrorists to leave the city of raka the kurds up the night this by the ministry of defense and russia have confirmed seeing the movement of large eisel convoy moving from towards palmira and these latest images released it shows six cruise missiles being launched from two warships and a submarine currently located in the mediterranean and the strikes managed to destroy and i saw a command center and several i saw weapons stockpiles in the provinces while the turkish and israeli forces that are also operating in the area they have been informed about the strikes in advance but nothing is said about communicating with the coalition forces as on monday russia has halted the agreement of military cooperation in syrian airspace for the us after they downed
10:13 am
a syrian government fighter jet near rock on sunday we spoke to award winning journalist modern gioia about the differences between the russian and american approach in syria. both of the strategies and the source of both of these big players one on american soil and two pronged approach which is confusing. conflicting at the best of times america wants to support a large demographic of forces not its own of course but others largely kurdish who are supposed to take over and destroy isis positions but the same time the americans also have their own geo political struggle within syria against the assad regime. and of course less small for also forget. the other thing which is quite interesting is that the presence in syria is entirely illegal so if you contrast that against the russians the russians don't have such a complicated idea towards what they're doing or what their objectives are they simply want to hit isis and hit isis hard so that that extremist group can be
10:14 am
completely eradicated. more on what this year has meant for britain on the first anniversary of the brics a vote is coming away just but bit later this hour of the states you. twenty to the twenty seven. candidates so you prime ministers of all of the european partners like the liberal majority the pulse of coalition governments the prime minister and was held in holland just a few months ago the prime minister won with some be a twenty two percent of the vote and he's still trying to put coldish government together. it's all hypocritical of the europeans to say may doesn't have enough to the majority in most cases they do and.
10:15 am
all the field we go through. every the world experience. and you get it on the old will. the old according to just. one world come along for the ride. to r.t. international and back to our top story it's a year now since fifty two percent of british voters chose to walk their country through the e.u.'s exit doors after prime minister to resign may the last parliamentary majority instability and uncertainty loom larger than ever in the u.k. well as discussed is now with george galloway a british member of parliament and tom brooks columnist and policy advisor thanks gentlemen for joining us today on r.t.
10:16 am
international mr go if i can go to you first perhaps after this pretty controversial result many remain as have already come around to the idea of brics avondale seems to be a foregone conclusion with the selection everything's turned on its head isn't that what's gone wrong. well i think there is a consensus now in britain quite a considerable one probably two thirds or more who have accepted or embraced the idea that we are leaving the european union after all the liberal democrats ran on a very clear proposal at the general election a couple of weeks ago that if you voted for them that there would be a second referendum that might never happen and there are a souffle we simply failed to rise their leader has had to pack his bags and go but your right to see that there is instability in the realm and that's absolutely the responsibility of the at the time of recording this tories are
10:17 am
made still the prime minister without a parliamentary majority without a mandate of any kind not. ask for a stronger mandate and ended with an even weaker one than she had as an unelected prime minister and then so far as britain is an unstable place that way it's not really because of bricks it is because of the conservative government and its reckless gamble to hold a general election only to lose it if i can go to some of the books now leading on from from what mr got over saying the reason why of course lost her majority in an election the whole point of what which the calling of which was to strengthen amount for a hard break set so is this perhaps a sign the country's had some second thoughts where's it all heading.
10:18 am
well i agree with those comments it's always you from theresa may wish you could offer a strong and stable leadership and that she was the one to see as steve bracks that never told us much about what strong or stable was other than devotion to whatever it is that she was going to do and didn't really spell out a whole lot other than giving some indications of what some call the heart exit about leaving the single market leaving the customs union but otherwise fairly weak euro light on on details and and now that the she has the voters to give her a very big landslide victory and she and she lost that she lost her majority in politics i think it does raise some questions i don't think it raises questions as to whether or not people are generally poor practice that i think a lot of people think. westminster should kind of get on with it and get on with making this fabulous deal there are lots of different views about what the great
10:19 am
deal would be that it's a year on and they're only just starting to sit down this week to try to hammer out what the actual deal will be what was in theory is becoming practice and i think you know we all wait and see what the this government as long as they can last what they'll do a lot of the big question is that i mean a lot of pro brick set voters they claim the problems of all stem from maize failure as i was to get over saying it's outline any sort of plan here regarding brics it which of course also has popular support of in the u.k. is that something you'd agree with. i would agree with that i think that no one who was for remained or. can be satisfied with where this government is going and it seems that they're doing a really terrible job frankly and then which are one of running these negotiations
10:20 am
at the moment not seeming to know what their position is they've yet to offer their position paper to the e.u. about what they hope to achieve from these talks i mean it's really it's see it's almost as if the government never expected to be in this position and never really thought it was going to be having to work through detail by detail what brooks it was actually going to look like. we've heard various different views but what is actually going to be in practice they don't seem to put much thought into this and certainly haven't done much of a job of trying to sell even those in their own side what this vision is it seems it's a very closed camp and we are all sitting around waiting to find out what the rights of of e.u. citizens might or might not be in this country what some are holds we simply just don't seem to know much from theresa may the reason why of course says she has a plan for what we heard from the e.u. commission president in the negotiations now ongoing and brussels actually got no
10:21 am
idea what the u.k. wants they was not beating about the bush would that doesn't bode well for negotiations if. that so you got away. well he would say that wouldn't he. negotiation under way the course of this world know that they have a lot of parole. if you'll forgive me describing them as fifth columnists who would like to sabotage the bricks of process make it does awful as possible in order of the somehow something will turn out that will turn us away from this path and i think that terry's i'm a house completely filled and the tory government has completely failed to shore the country the opportunity the exciting future that we can have outside of this deadly dead faded feelings organization called the un
10:22 am
votes because they're a pretty unimaginative unexciting group of people but the the false dichotomy of howard bracks it soft bricks it was really shot through i thought by soren to name their the former british ambassador to washington amongst other places when he said this is a false dichotomy because what people like tom and others who favor a so-called soft brakes are really saying is that we should stay in the e.u. as a kind of associate member no there are three big problems with that would still leave european courts superior to our own courts which as a matter of sovereignty and millions like me are not prepared to accept we would still have to transfer our billions of pounds every year we could argue about how
10:23 am
many billions i'm not going to write on the side of a boss but we'd still be transferring billions every year too. the e.u. and most vexed of all should know this being in the northeast. the british public will not accept a continuation of so-called free movement of eastern central european labor in very substantial numbers coming to britain by asking other way voters to leave just because i want to get as many questions as i can and i mean surely the result of the e.u. are sort of the u.k. general election as we said out of the whole point of which was to strengthen manage namely for hard bricks that which you claim the u.k. public has appetite for i mean surely that theories now bust wide open given the the increased seats of the labor party the liberal democrats have such a lot cues increase the lib dems but nonetheless i mean surely that shows that appetite for hard as propagated by the reason may has diminished since
10:24 am
a year ago well i don't think she did propagate it and she didn't even vote to leave the e.u. she was our a man up there conservatives got eight hundred thousand votes more than labor they got more than thirteen million nearly fourteen million votes and labor got to of million eight hundred thousand and labor's policy is far as one can define it because it changes quite a bit depending on who you're listening to and the conservative policy is the same that we are leaving the e.u. we will not be associate members we will not be norway we will not be switzerland we will be a free country able to control its own borders have sovereign jurisdiction over our own laws and crucially be able to make such
10:25 am
trade arrangements with the rest of the world as we like and here's an example the e.u. are sanctioning russia or. a british government out of the e.u. could actually make better relations with russia until the sanctions mongers to go and get lost i mean i think part of the problem here is perhaps the ambiguity which the question was perhaps posed in the referendum as to what the states of the u.k.'s relationship would be but if i can go back to the time to mr brooks it looks very likely the tories are going to form a working majority with the u.p.a. the democratic unionist party what impact do you think that will have on brics that talks if any do you think that's a key factor here. well i think it's a massive factor here you know george talks about this wonderful exciting peacher that could happen in some type of theory or maybe some type of world that could
10:26 am
happen but it's not going to happen because there is you know is this going to be a certain type of practice that's going to be to go shaded by the people who are in government right now they are the ones who are going to see it through and i see no signs they're going to be making this this wonderful new feature that was described with some comments about maybe extra trade with other parts of the world and and would be free and so i think a lot of this these freedoms and i mean peter sovereignty these are all things that could happen outside the european union but still having some types of links with european institutions so i think that the it's right that there can be some types of creative ways that we can think about what these new relationships are but at the moment it's all a lot of people peddling their favorite view about what the teacher might look like with absolutely nothing to show for it at the moment talks have only just started
10:27 am
right now it's being done by a conservative government as much as we you know people might not like conservative visions and think it should be something else they are not in power and so this is what we're going to get if it is propped up by the i think there are substantial problems not only for the type of brakes that we're going to get which i think will disappoint people who were tiers remainders and everyone in between and to the side i think they will all be disappointed by what theresa may will try to deliver indeed if she can survive the next couple months let alone the next couple years by i think that you know the country is on a difficult path with it do you keep being involved in light of certain the situation in northern ireland which i think is you know is not a side issue here either and we're just about out of time now gentlemen thanks for joining us both of you george galloway full of british member of parliament i'm told brooks columnist and policy advisor thank you both so i have an audience of national. well we'll have
10:28 am
