7:04 am
you know why would this. be fair. to to reason my should take the blame for these. people in the house of parliament. to play. the victim as of last week scornful teleplays may have been exposed not only to fire and smoke but also to hide it toxic gas that's according to the latest expert analysis of the tragedy in the british capital. it is one of the deadliest poisons there is and experts claim insulation boards produce a bentley gas when they burn and there were reports from hospitals that they were treating three people for cyanide poisoning part of the scandal is clouding the material used outside of the building which turned out to be extremely flammable. well tourism money has ordered a thorough inquiry into the tragedy and pledged five million pounds to help victims . in london asking people what they think the u.k. needs to reconsider its spending priorities but british government is spending this
7:05 am
money on certain things which things do you think they're spending. with thirteen billion to the n.h.s. social care as then the seventy million you think it's social care yeah it is what they're spending on that. they're spending three hundred seventy million. thoughts . this is how much is going to the survivors. it's actually shocking when you see like. five then yeah. yeah. that's the fun of it but they can spend three hundred seventy on. this book impose really need refurbished really. this is. it's shameful shameful. now this week the u.k. also marks one year since that motor to leave the european union though the actual divorce talks of only just got on the way the referendum result created
7:06 am
a political earthquake to be off the shocks of which are still being felt today. i will move a motion in the house of commons calling for a general election to be held on the eighth of june to resume a wanted to strengthen her hand embrace the negotiations with european leaders she needed a mandate for her standing in the divorce from the e.u. breaks it. corrects it for tourism a breaks it means giving up access to the e.u. single market and customs union taking full control of u.k. borders compromise on the free movement of people but instead of a mandate to reason may go to hung parliament white criticism of her breaks that position no deal for it is better than a deal or no deal would be a very very bad for now will britain needs to work out a new breakthrough plan which is not easy but the divided parliament in the democratic unionist party which may hopes to form a majority with opposes heartbreaks it well the u.k.
7:07 am
position leaves more questions than answers some fear the negotiations which have already started will bring little progress through the wait for second breaks that referendum not likely even labor are resigned to this breakup except respects the result we were afraid it won't be bluffing or come to leaving. the conditions of the divorce agreement and now even more uncertain than ever and things you should go from the law messy to fix. the process officially started when brussels received a letter from the reason why it out saying the divorce money british citizens still strongly oppose the decision and some express their anger once again on friday parties politico takes us through the twists and turns now of britain's. road to 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 show has risen.
7:08 am
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 theresa may to step up to the plate in the run up to the vote she has been a quiet remain but the desire to lead post brags that britain forced her to reconsider her position bricks it means bricks 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 reason may hold an election in order to strengthen her hand in the
7:09 am
braggs it talks but ended up in the polls and losing her parliamentary majority her atrocious result meant that politically 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 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. one hundred billion just read this bill guaranteeing the rights of he uses isn't in the u.k. and who would get custody of gibraltar. what we thought any 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
7:10 am
and many britons held to resume a direct plea responsible because she'd been head of the home office for a six year is before becoming prime minister. and with all the security and political chaos here people even notice that earlier this week brings it because he ations officially kicked off but not in the way that london would have hoped the british government's already been accused of caving in over the braggs it gadgil and opinion polls now show that if the country got to vote again it would reject leaving you so just like to reason may be the plan for braggs it went from strong and stable so weak and wobbly within the space of just one yeah.

7:12 am
have some explaining to do. yes. there was a mechanism to avoid syrian airspace incidents between russia and the us that is now suspended after the us shut down the plane we have requested a detailed explanation through the ministry of defense we expect that it will be provided by the us. at the pentagon earlier claimed it has shut down the syrian jet in self-defense software bombed u.s. backed militants but damascus says its plane was attacking the islamic state is not the first time either the u.s. has the u.s. led coalition rather thought of forces in the war zone or the syrian jet was down near the i still held city of rocker just here which is under siege of course by u.s. backed local troops last month in southern syria the coalition also bombed pro-government forces several times after accusing them of violating the so-called the confliction
7:13 am
zone around the area of the border crossing artes and it's an army takes a closer look at the latest role. the u.s. shoots down syrian plane over syria in self-defense the only actions that we've taken against pro regime forces in syria and they've been to specific incidents have been in self-defense let's imagine a random guy comes into your house with a gun and shoots your dog and then he's like it was just self-defense i wanted to make sure there was no violence going on here d. as coalition speaking of the escalation after this self-defense move the situation couldn't be worse russia and now considers all u.s. led coalition planes in the area of potential targets and are tracking them all of this happened as both the u.s. and syrian government backed up by the russian air force were fighting isis in the stronghold of raka now washington and moscow have locked horns in syria again focus
7:14 am
has shifted and ice is probably breathing a deep sigh of relief while watching syrian fighter jets crash in flames on the horizon good job superpowers you're not so super slick. tensions flared even further on tuesday after the u.s. led coalition to shut down another syrian aircraft. drove the pentagon released the statement claiming the drone had been advancing on the u.s. but forces in southern syria once again the coalition said the downing of the aircraft was motivated by self defense reaction to the spiraling situation from several experts on the region did the americans react to syrian threats as a source or were they trying to assert sovereignty over syria who think about it really ever since the early one thousand nine hundred ninety s. have been used to it being able to patrol what they regard as enemy skies with impunity and they feel threatened but also the allies on the ground are threatened so there is a risk that in fact they may try to assert themselves against any syrian or russian
7:15 am
limitations on their activities over. there are a lot of calls and could spiral out of control who are very dangerous situation although some people in washington are saying all the russians will never stand up to us well maybe not but what if regarding are we going towards you know more suspension of cooperation i think that's what some people in the us administration actually won so they don't meaning they don't want to have cooperation between the u.s. and russia maybe not necessarily trump himself but i think you do have thinkers who are very anti russian in the administration a step by step a trump is bowing down to the hand to russian voices in his in his administration i think we are heading towards a more suspension of cooperation and more hostility between moscow and washington which could mean some very bleak scenarios for the future. for us questions about the targets of the u.s. intervention in syria now being asked on capitol hill
7:16 am
a prominent republican senator rand paul has slammed washington's latest military moves this is illegal war at this point then there's the practical question the practical question is doing anything you want killing every perceived enemy in every perceived leader of chieftain of five people in some misbegotten village is it helping president trumps administration is also facing criticism for breaking its pre-election valves to scale back u.s. foreign interventions. looks at the mission creep of washington's latest war. trump made it clear that defeating terrorism and putting an end to the trend of u.s. interventions in the middle east were top priorities so he opted for granting more power to the military what i do is i authorized by military we have the greatest military in the world ok but if it helps eradicate eisel what's the problem well first we have the us training and giving arms to a bunch of anti-government forces one of them the new syrian army would really like to topple assad then there's the syrian democratic forces largely consisting of
7:17 am
kurds who would really love to grab more power from the government and eventually become independent so once i suppose finish we will have fully trained armed to the teeth forces controlling significant chunks of syrian territory partially hostile to the government what could possibly go wrong so it seems in this effort to defeat beisel the u.s. could in fact be fanning new hotbed of tension if you like washington has a case of tunnel vision trying to solve only one problem without seeing the bigger picture sound familiar and should iraq anyone but history teaches us nothing clearly not even tweets such as this one from donald trump to then president obama in two thousand and thirteen he warned that nothing good would come to the u.s. from attacking syria apparently hindsight isn't twenty twenty once you get to the white house talking booga r.t. washington d.c. a short break we'll see which country is being blamed for increasing the number of drug addicts worldwide and why drain the drugs that we have put in of course
