one year on from the political earthquake that was precious it's instability and uncertainty. over the u.k. future. the cost of something and you'll want to visit. a shrine of the ranch like a little bit of a dash dash when the next president will do that and as a civilian suffering intensifies during the campaign to push i so out of one doubts are raised over america's first liberation plans for the syrian city. and an eighty three year old holocaust survivor wins a gender discrimination case against an airline after she was off to move seats when it also talks to you complained he couldn't sit next to her.

this is r t international coming to you live from the russian capital thank you for watching m k. it's exactly a year since the u.k. voted to leave the european union though the actual divorce talks have now only just begun the referendum results created a political earthquake the aftershocks of which are still being felt today. we want our borders but we want our country back. to go she should leave to begin under a new prime minister. pass on my thanks to his mom for their advice about toys i got a little woman this breaks it means. i got a plan. doesn't have a clue how that i really like

a. community left behind i. well prime minister theresa may gambled and lost her parliamentary majority over the back seat if she. takes us through the twists and turns of britain's rocky road to the breakup. it was a very changed the course of history the forty eight percent who voted to stay were outraged although the others they were delighted the sun has risen. to become a national bank holiday we will call it. nigel farage may have been jumping the gun that 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

mind these talks were never going to be a walk in the park. but it. can be concluded quickly. threats against aggression has 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 reg's it bill guaranteeing the rights of he used citizen. as in the u.k. and who would get custody of gibraltar what thought any issues there is aroused took a back seat when britain was hit by a wave of terror four terror attacks in the space of just three months to be precise and many britons held to resume a directory responsible because she'd been head of the home office six years before becoming prime minister and with all the 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. well meanwhile a special e.u. summit on breaks it is it is second day one of the major issues has been the rights of e.u. citizens in the u.k. the opinions of the british prime minister and other european officials seem to differ widely from food young still none the wiser as to what the u.k. actually wants. to do giving a clear idea of the kind of the u.k.

government. what we're saying is that those citizens from e.u. countries who have come to the united kingdom who've made their lives in their homes in the united kingdom will be able to stay and we will go and see the rights in the united kingdom i think that's a very serious offer my first impression is that the u.k. so far is below expectations. well while bush politicians big that some of their e.u. counterparts still hope the divorce can be averted. you may say. the level field. running the file page break shows everything. if your gov site to apply the brakes i did predict that one they will never be

outside the union that they're dead inside someone they can still have that illusion which is a waste of time. before long we will all begins find out the extent to which wrecks it is a gentle stroll along the smooth path to a land of cake consumption. while we discuss this issue with former british m.p. george galloway tom brooks the dean of harvard law school. we are leaving the e.u. we will not be a source of numbers we will not be norway we will not be short so we will be a free country to control its own borders have sovereign jurisdiction over our own laws and crucially be able to make some trade arrangement

with the rest of the world as we like george talks about this wonderful the exciting teacher that could have been some type of a theory or maybe some type of world that could happen but it's not going to happen because there is the there is practice it is going to be a certain type of practice that's going to be negotiated by the people who are in government right now they're the ones who are going to see it through and i see no signs they're going to be making this this wonderful new future. that was described with some comments about you know maybe extra trade with other parts of the world and that would be 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 britain is an unstable place today it's not really because of bricks that it's because of the conservative government and its reckless gamble to hold

a general election only to lose it. the u.s. led coalition leading the anti i sell offensive for the syrian city of raka is bombing everyone that's what locals have told ati's video agency ruptly despite the coalition's insistence it takes every civilian casualty seriously the grim situation on the ground suggests otherwise and i knew that of that i knew that if this was what they are and you had nothing else of much time then and you meant it the mother had a little bit of. a shrine of it actually made a mess of a dash dash well it's not nesmith good yet it has that but you're the one you're the one who said that actually you anybody can do better than have a great athlete as me and they don't let as you look had no filter and that has become of old and i didn't. when it hasn't leninism with. the. bull. and has used the last. four digits dem she. did not.

kill well the u.s. led coalition hasn't denied using phosphorus which was just mentioned in its operations extent extremely toxic substance and is banned from use as a weapon the coalition says it only uses phosphorus in ways that are permitted during battle for example to create a smoke screen however human rights watch has voiced concerns saying the substance poses a high risk to civilians well the leading force fighting islamic state on the ground all the kurds who are being armed by the americans however washington's support for the kurdish fighters irritates its long term ally turkey open reports on how the us has tried to get round 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. 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 a large portion of which are going to the kurds when it's all finished some five hundred u.s. military personnel will have the task of collecting it all in an area that's almost 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 in a new letter which presumably was going 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 is there the u.s. is old. 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 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. when we were russia's defense ministry has really. the video showing missiles being launched from warships and a submarine in the mediterranean targeting islamic state positions in syria. russian intelligence is tracking eisel fighters who've been trying to escape their stronghold in 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. to palmira the hamas profits and that's where they've 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 terrorists 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 lead the city of raka the kurds have 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 province as well the turkish and israeli forces that are also operating in the area and 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 air space with a u.s. after they downed a syrian government fighter jet near iraq on sunday. award winning journalist martin j. says the different agendas of washington and moscow are clearly playing out in

syria if you look at them both the strategies and the source of both of these big plays one on the american side there is a two pronged approach which is confusing and conflicting at the best of times america wants to support a large demographic of forces not its own of course but are those 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. also forgets. the other thing which is quite interesting is that their 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 isis hard so that the extremist group can be completely eradicated. now an eighty three year old woman's won

a gender discrimination case against israel's national airline el al we're not a repeat of it's a holocaust survivor that had been given a seat next to an orthodox jewish man on her flight from new york to tel aviv but the crew asked her to move after her neighbor insisted he couldn't sit next to a woman for not just reasons or benefits and her lawyer gave us more details about the case i spoke with the man and i asked what was this problem with my sitting next to him and he responded to a light lady there it is said. there . ma'am a should not sit next to or one. a it's a fact i did not think that was the case. there is no or hidden or

say. that supported me and brought suit the first hearing was eighteen months after we piled our lawsuit but we're very satisfied with the result. renee hobby know of each of the unlikely heroine a beautiful israeli in a way wonder woman was able to beat our main airline. is going to implement this verdict to all its thousands of employees and if within six months someone else encounters something like what our heroine has encountered there. is open to an avalanche of lawsuits actually what the verdict says is that unless it shapes up there are going to be many many lawsuits it's illegal it doesn't matter religious feelings or non-religious feelings it is illegal to tell

a person to move because of their gender what was wonderful about renee's case is that in rene's case the flight attendant turned to her and said to our eighty three year old holocaust survivor please move yourself move to a different seat it's the flight attendants participation that made this case so clear to the court. well it's not the first time el al has hit the headlines for religious reasons last year an ultra-orthodox passenger broke two video screens on board a plane when he considered an in-flight movie in modest activists even created a special video mocking the company. gentleman and unfortunately welcome on board alone six thirty. should you discover that you were seated next to the however currently live version of the release your seem not to proceed to appear dressed designated male congregation area in the unlikely event the flight attendant insisting you remain in your assigned seat simply reaching your seat body

protection over your head and chest strap says this earring. well the court's decision was praised by activists renee rabinovich told us she hopes it will prevent future cases of discrimination i also hope that there's so or that chandra does sharon will and as a reach so of the ruling it will be difficult for a large hole or any out there or hear a line to resolve this cause it could mean delay the flight and that's a problem they're going to have just solved. saudi arabia and other gulf states have presented council with a list of demands if it wants diplomatic and trade ties restored they were severed over doha's alleged support of terrorism middle east correspondent paula as well

tom has been presented with a list of demands from saudi arabia the united arab emirates parade and egypt four nations that qatar or trade and diplomatic ties with the country now this came after the u.s. state department questioned the motives of the gulf states move now that it's been more than two weeks since the embargo started we are mystified that the gulf states have not released to the public nor to the qataris the details about the claims that they are making toward. the more the time goes by the more doubt is raised about the actions taken by saudi arabia and the u.a.e. at this point we are left with one simple question were the actions really about their concerns regarding carter's alleged support for terrorism or the about the long simmering grievances between and among the g.c.c. countries now the next day the us secretary of state breaks to listen issued a statement saying that a list of such demands has been prepared he added that he hoped that the demands

would be reasonable and actionable saying that we understand that this list is being prepared it's being coordinated by the saudis the iraq tease each option is and the bahrainis and we hope that it will be presented to qatar with and will be treated as reasonable and actionable now the list includes thirteen demands in total here are some of them first and foremost to curb all diplomatic ties with iran the list and trade and commerce with iran that complies with the u.s. and international sanctions will be permitted now the two states share the biggest natural gas field so that could be a problem as well it calls on shutting down al-jazeera and all qatar funded news outlets to terminate to military presence in qatar to any joint military cooperation with turkey that is taking place inside of qatar the list says that there needs to be agreement to all demands within ten days or the list becomes

invalid now the document does not specify what the countries will do if qatar refuses to comply so of course it remains to be seen whether qatar will view these demands as either reasonable or actionable. after their demands appeared in the press the u.s. foreign minister accused cats are of leaking them he branded it either an attempt to undermine talks or just callous policy well there's also been reaction from those mentioned in the demands al-jazeera slammed a call for its closure as an attack on the freedom of expression while turkey said an order to withdraw its military presence from cattle was meddling in other countries relations. well to share with the turkish base in qatar is a guarantee of security in the gulf and demands for its closure represented interference in its ties with. well it's discuss this issue with former turkish ambassador to the u.s. also been far below you thank you very much indeed for joining us this evening that

but it does to have a let's go straight to the argument do you think the gulf states will also put pressure on turkey over the situation in cattle. and look at saf a big big list of tamal and it's i would rather refer to it as an alternate them. timeline a touch the toilet so what the u.s. secretary of state said tender sudden. that these amounts should be reasonable and actionable not not the reasonable not actionable so we are looking at the situation a crisis that big get even worse spot is. adamant this concerns did amount from qatar to close down turkish bases and i'm going to take a call for this from turkey as your departed the minister of national defense of turkey said that this is not on the joint and this is for the protection of to

reach one. more but this show dog should make up the problem of turkish presence. but i was serving as a model parliament from the main opposition party. do you believe he did not feel comfortable loveth this going to thirty agreements. a bit qatar turkey has signed hundreds of not perhaps hundreds but dozens of military cooperation agreements bit different countries what was different with the one. concerning qatar was the actual basing the. turkish military it cooks and personnel on the sort of in the territory of qatar just was what was different of course this latest crisis has turned the turkish

military bases in qatar into part of the problem and i think it's the need a lot of imaginative work. by all the parties concerned by the special ed by turkey . toters oldest question i think that we have to be. really didn't question the need the better of the two and the motivation behind this behind these arrangements. but how good a b. on the other countries the. demand for the closure. are they prepared to demand the closure of all u.s. air bases in qatar as well i think this is a crisis that needs careful. maneuvering by all sides. why do you think that let's look at some of the other implications here

why do you think that the u.a.e. sporran minister was upset about the publication of these demands and he wants that's how it. most of those because why why do you think the u.a.e. foreign minister was so upset about the publication they called to leak all these demands i mean what is there to highlight. if thou to questing get something from a sovereign nation. some of those demands may be reasonable in so far as the relationship between. these other upon trees. they may be reasonable demands but i think you know the. draw doc to be a paradise on transparency. i think they have to put on the table love what they are expecting. to do or. qatar has.

experienced such a similar problems before back in two thousand and fourteen they've been able to it is all going differences i have a feeling that despite the intensity and the. harsh loud talk about the different parties over this crisis that. will be will be a problem by the states. of the two of this crisis and on the positive note we'll leave it former turkish ambassador to the us also been far too close to you thank you very much indeed for your time thank you. now a major gas pipeline project between russia and turkey has entered a new phase in the black sea president putin was on board especially high playing ship to see the work for himself and also on board was a very air india for trenka. i just came back from a gigantic vessel called the pioneering spirit imagine the size of four football fields well that is how big it is what is the pioneering spirit in the black sea

well it is here for the toughest job in gas pop like construction deep underwater stages of the turkish stream at one point it will get to two point two kilometers below sea level project is so crucial for russia that the president decided to fly in for the launch of the toughest stage that i was telling you about but it's also very important for turkey that's where the pipeline is heading towards show on this special occasion or putin made a phone call to turkish president time to on right from pioneering spirit but moscow's ultimate goal is to use the turkish stream to deliver its natural gas to south eastern and southern europe that's the extension that moscow is looking for but you know russia's attempts to build a pipeline in the black sea for its european customers that really turned into a saw god take the south stream project something that was never completed it was

meant to be a pipeline from here to bowl garia that got scrapped because of pressure from brussels then moscow came up with plan b. that was the turkish stream but this project was also and jeopardy it was whole said for a while after ankara shot down a russian fighter jet over syria then when relations war restored in two thousand and sixteen the project got was started and now i saw it with my own eyes it is fully underway and it is planned to be completed by the end of twenty nine hundred maximum capacity as expected to be more than thirty billion cubic meters of natural gas and you will be hit. well russia may be well known for its icy wind but locals in southern siberia was to move on what a surprise to see the giant hole in the sun the five people needed medical treatment.
