norty of the public didn't have a say because parliament simply ratified it island the only e.u. member which stuck with the referendum rejected in this been treaty but that was old didn't go down well with brussels but i believe we should not rush to conclusions believe the truth is a lie and we should now try to find a solution and despite a clear fifty three percent no vote the irish will back at the polls just sixteen months later for what must of felt like day finally the e.u. got the answer it was looking for yes those here are supposed to jump for joy what about greece the mediterranean country drowning in a sea of its own that its voters decisively rejected the terms of an international bailout in two thousand and fifteen silly business i would like to say that the greek people made a historic and brave choice responds well to the existing john logan europe but

democracy worked in an unexpected way despite the greeks say no to a sturdy government a venture did agree to a painful bailout plan but what about the dutch who rejected plans by the e.u. to sign an association agreement with ukraine back in two thousand and sixteen. the court cannot just be ratified we have to take into account this no vote. well despite that brussels went ahead and did it only way so while many in the may vote against the blocs hirings it seems that the e.u. prefer to have its own way with god less the elite made a decision and now it's sixty to seventy years ago that in one nine hundred fifty four you know this started the whole thing was the european union and there is nothing you can do against the european union is it's gotten it's got nothing to do

with democracy it's not it's not decided by the people there's no european people european union worries as a cartel of the governments of the e.u. governments you know they get together they make the solutions and i don't think there's even a. democratic spirit behind it you know it's just this is what we feel leaked it's not we the people. in the u.k. brics its supporters are now claiming there's a secret plot to keep the country in the european union after it emerged that the government has set aside money for next year's eve new parliamentary election officials say the money is only there in case of an emergency it's a precautionary measure so that we have the necessary funds to deliver functions it's a european parliamentary election in none likely event but they do go ahead. elections for the european parliament will take place next may that's true months after the

u.k. is supposed to have left the e.u. and yet the u.k. has put aside about eight hundred thousand pounds for those elections it's been almost two years since british voters narrowly chose to leave the e.u. since then the negotiations between london and brussels have encountered numerous stumbling blocks including over the irish border although still no solution that satisfies all sides the e.u. says it wants more clear proposals from the british prime minister. we want an ambitious partnership with the united kingdom but for that we need realistic proposals from the u.k. and they cannot be a game of hide and seek a downing street spokes person theresa may is simply trying to get the best possible deal that would satisfy both sides meanwhile ukip m.e.p. margo parker believes british people are growing frustrated by how long it's taking the government to find a solution. the british people for this referendum have full expectancy to

leave. with our government being so slow in their negotiations you know we we find it very annoying very upsetting that they seem to be so slow every time i think they've come to brussels brussels perhaps ask for something more and i'm afraid our government to pay or to be full of capitulation and they appear not not to be putting the pressure of people first think this is a load of nonsense and i think if you were to put this back two years and say that would be at this position people would say call me so they need to sort themselves out but i do think the british public are getting very very fed up with this lack of moving forward. israel's parliament is now discussing a new law which would ban the filming of soldiers behind the bill so that video of the i.d.f. activities can be used to damage the israeli army's reputation by the i.d.f.

is frequently accused of using excessive force something denied by the chiefs. these amateur videos i think should lay an aspect of the conflict that might otherwise not get brought up in the public debate here in israel and it's very important that we have that debate on the conflict. the bill includes some tough measures for example if you photograph i.d.f. soldiers was with the intention of undermining spirit you can get jailed for five years but if the intention is to homme state security the maximum sentence is ten yes we discussed the proposed law with several experts who say it goes against

freedom of speech this is an absurd piece of populist legislation just meant to limit the constrain the freedom of speech and freedom of protest in israel something that contradicts the founding principles of this country and by the way this is very hypocritical as well because members of the right whenever settlers are evacuated they also film i.d.f. soldiers this is a time honored tradition in this country in this legislation goes against that value of life we can do. so. you can never take them to call your fingers there and they think this is this is. i'm against this law for this legislation because you know when you don't allow people to take pictures of sort of gels. to your stall the for the speech

then you move to. taking photos off and or whatever this is the end of the michael so we're back in just a. dropping bombs brings to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle. to do so to try to tell you that. probably where. they. tell you. we along. with one.

says are going to buy a lot more stuff from the u.s. . so trump is going to back that mean news and weighing into the minutia of trade deals which president has done that i can recall usually they just broad stroke and hope for the best so he's actually getting into the details of trade deals. to join us today seven hundred mexican children have been taken from their parents at the u.s. border with mexico since october that's according to a new office of refugee resettlement report and the issue has sparked public concern with people now accusing donald trump and his administration of violence in particular this image of small children and sleeping on the floor coast shock waves and went viral it was assumed that the harsh consequences of policies towards

mexicans however in reality it has nothing to do with it dates back to twenty fourteen linking to the barack obama administration. i. have. this picture of immigrant children sleeping on the floor of a cage have to be forcefully ripped away from their parents should be the defining image of trump's reign is trump's vision of making america great again concentration camp spoiled with children torn from their parents' border it's tough parents from bringing children. doesn't care about his own kids and so these kids matter even less to him.

this is happening right now and the only right that matters is how we force all government to get these kids back to their families as fast as humanly possible. the u.s. attorney general has said that the policy of separating children from their parents prevents child trafficking it was reportedly implemented more rigorously after that remark responding to criticism donald trump said that the democrats are in fact to blame saying it all started long before he became president. put pressure on the democrats to end the horrible law that separates children from their parents once they cross the border into the u.s. catch and release lottery and change must also go with it and we must continue building the wall democrats are protecting emmas thirteen thugs trump came out and said the other day by by you once again just information in chaos tar that this

that this president is so happy to so really what's happening is they're trumping ministration is now doing something it's against international law by taking away the rights of parents to be with their kids and blaming it on someone else which is the active that's what he does all the gory unfortunately president obama has been the president that has the forty most people from the united states and that is a very shameful fact along with his secretary of state hillary clinton at the time he started so in two thousand and fourteen we saw when the families came through when when the first crisis happen in two thousand and fourteen immediately the children were sent to these centers and the parents they had to go through a process of searching if the if the kids a family is in the united states and they had to go through this scrutiny of trying to find out if the family supposedly was really their family or not any if if they

were unable to find out if the children actually belong to those families those kids had to stay in foster carers. millions of children in the u.k. are now reportedly living in poverty with teachers allegedly saying they have to feed and clothe their pupils instead of teaching them the redfish media company has released the first part of its report on the worst hit areas and you can watch the full video online you tube facebook or read fisher's own website. once upon a time the british government pledged to make child poverty history. written in two thousand and eighteen place where millions of pounds of public money has just been spent on a largish royal wedding but while inside this bubble fifty thousand pounds spent on a royal wedding cake outside of it the number of food banks to feed hungry kids is

growing britain is also a place where the dream of ending child poverty has been shattered london and birmingham are the areas hardest hit by child poverty here in the child poverty rate is fifty two percent twice the national average mr ali is in a wheelchair and lives on the tenth floor of the council estates this is his fifteen year old son hussen learning disabilities yet in the absence of proper care workers he's his father's main carer. came to this country. the.

father of five martin moved to the u.k. along with his family in search of a better life but they have found themselves living in poverty and in overcrowded accommodation thanks to the stigma attached to living in poverty martin and his wife rachel tell their relatives they are doing fine at their request we have changed their names and blurred their faces. it's very difficult for the family but. the most important. is this house. to house in charity shelter more than one million children in england live in bother overcrowded housing the charity also estimates that one hundred forty families become homeless every day at the same time more than two hundred thousand homes lie empty at a combined worth of forty three billion pounds kids like joseph dream of

a better future. yes. there might be. the right thing to do. to give. to give room to live and. to have the right to have a good life. and live comfortably. nearly a year since the start of the saudi led blockade of qatar the wealthy gulf nation is hitting back at the government in doha banned all imports from saudi arabia and other countries that have severed ties with qatar however many goods are still

finding their way into qatar through other countries including oman and kuwait and checks have been announced to make sure that shops are complying with the ban the blockade of qatar was imposed last june by saudi arabia egypt bahrain and the united arab emirates they accuse qatar of funding terrorist groups diplomatic ties were severed and transport links with the country were closed but economist a jack russell has told us that qatar has managed to adapt to the new sanctions. could tarp probably feels that the u.s. military bases there are are important enough that it can take reciprocal action but the outcome whether they're going to sit down and negotiate now from equal strength they have a lot of exports energy products and a lot of people will want to buy them so i don't think it will have a long term effect on target and the united states really doesn't want to come down on one side or the other given its policies now towards iran could turn is

a lot to offer of the countries that don't really care about the feud with saudi arabia there is a financial center that plugs that into the broader world and i'm i'm sure that saudi arabia is a is a little bit jealous of that and their access and you know their connections and that's another source of saudi concern thanks for joining us here on r.t. international your program returns in half an hour. you never know what's around the corner you never know what's in the pub even to walk into the sack simon it's that mood now and that's where the adrenaline in much

comes from. when you can use a move by definition and the extremes will support. the violence is a pov and it's almost a schizophrenia gang culture where you can do all these things and behave badly. they're going to befall a whole disqualified all. of us both more so focused on the last. punishment and infirmed. wall all of us from the start. i would roll but when a fight broke out i really did a poll down down went up a little bit. meaning in reason is that police defeat on sunday involves it's constantly evolving and.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten thousand dollars fine stamping each did. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be culled from rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent just last year some with the one hundred to five hundred three per cent get first shock and decline rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers over the. the only number you need to remember is one one business show you can't afford to miss the one and only food but. i.

live. close. close. i like chaz or. this is the kaiser report hopefully. i just want to follow up a little bit on that last episode we did because here's a headline related to dead unicorns why the end is coming soon for the biggest tech bubble we've ever seen expect to see more dead unicorns unicorns of course in this context are companies startups worth more than

a billion dollars there's like one hundred couple hundred of them in the united states well he says about over half of them are actually fifty percent overvalued this is keith wright a professor of villanova school of business so we should be seeing that uniform and saying well you know the change for returns over the past ten years as i just read every man zero migrated into the startup space on the unicorn space but the liquidity never came to the aftermarket never came the cash flow never came so now they all have to go over the cliff of the abyss proving once again the world is flat of course there are eighteen these are dead unicorns held by silicon valley investors they have deep pockets and of course they could afford to perhaps lose all of this but they're competing with china which has i guess a bigger market but also more capital to work with and you know they're in the race to see who can create more monopolistic sort of positions of course these unicorn

holders from silicon valley have donald trump to crush competition which was crushed and now that brought. china to the trade table there is supposedly negotiating trump keeps on almost getting a trade deal with china and then backing out by a tweet so we don't know but we do know that trade war averted china vows to buy more from the u.s. but truce will take time the consensus follows two days of negotiations between teams led by the chinese vice premier lew he and u.s. treasury secretary steven chu and so time is agreed to by more u.s. agricultural goods. and energy products and this is supposed to close that what two hundred a three hundred seventy five billion dollar trade gap with the united states there's china refer to these start ups as unicorns or maybe dragons of the unicorn as a global thing i wonder you know it's a little as if you really have to ask based on something but you know i'm not sure but yeah ok so china says are going to buy a lot more stuff from the u.s.

and so trump is having an effect i mean is that weighing into the minutia of trade deals which president has done that i can recall usually they just paint a broad stroke and hope for the best so he's actually getting into the details of trade deals that goes oh you do have to recognize that in the west we're not seeing the coverage the media coverage and the actual power that china has on the ground over in asia because i have seen reports that the reason why why did why did trump to the extraordinary thing of saying we need to come to the table because he lost all these jobs we don't want to destroy seventy five thousand jobs and we don't want to destroy c.t.e. and they apologized well apparently there were also u.s. goods piling up at the ports over in china and china has a huge buying power and exporting power and all these u.s. companies have massive factories over in china so they have

a lot more leverage than we can possibly see here because of course our media doesn't cover it because they have a more important story that their little conspiracy theory that they're focused on nevertheless there are you know that china apparently has a lot of negotiating power in terms of twenty eighteen elections midterm elections coming up in just a few short months is places like iowa and nebraska where they were really squealing about the impact on their agricultural exports some of these places you know they're their number one. destination is china they also live four to five trillion dollars in reserves more than a trillion or so in dollars the dollar still world reserve currency so yeah they've got a lot of operating leverage on the ground but a macro economically speaking the u.s. federal reserve bank bank of new york still has the ability to crush them at a moment's notice if we so choose their basically their equally powered the world's largest debtor the world's largest creditor they are equally powered they're

equally powerful and that is a great huge fight that is the fight of the next few decades what is not a great power which is no longer a great power is the united kingdom versus germany fighting the euro european union versus trying to come up with the brakes a deal i have to headlines here this is from bloomberg and they often to this i actually printed another article but they change the headline at all the time but boris johnson warns may to get on with it and deliver brags that so he's warning that she has to get on with it he wants to become the new prime minister which probably makes more sense of a clown and charge like trees amaze us ineffective you might as well have an ineffective clown because we have a clown here italy has clowns everybody has clowns this is new policy but the u.k. has admitted that they're going to have to pay a huge divorce bill and this breaks it exit if it ever happens this somebody they

break the deal is figuring out how to op back in to various deals that the break sort of gave them the right to opt out rights are just that the ad is something i thirty thousand more civil servants in the u.k. and that's the whole point of bragg's it is to increase the size of government under thatcher the mandate was to take g.d.p. and address it so that government was a less a percentage of g.d.p. braise it just reverses that whole trend it makes the government now a bigger part of g. pay which is highly anti-growth so i mean i'll read you some of . the exact quotes he's the foreign minister foreign secretary for the united kingdom some a is the prime minister in case you don't know a lot of people may not hear much about the united kingdom but he said that outward free trade in countries what they want to hear from us is that we are getting on with it with confidence and brielle in zap. so over that's what

a clown does you know these that's a given what's going on. squirting water but i like your idea that the u.k. needs a clown station to compete with the berlusconi's and then only the trump clownish behavior in america and other global clowns i mean to compete in this global economy you need a clown force johnson's caliber he's a world class clown well if you don't have the authority in the power to be a state's person then you might as well be a clown because you've got to compete for global attention right so johnson's comments however are his strongest since teresa mayes team agreed last week on a controversial compromise that could keep the u.k. tied to trade rules for years after the divorce the proposal got a frosty reception from brussels and prompted jacob response who commands enough conservative lawmakers to engineer a leadership challenge to say he was losing faith and tree some may like the united

kingdom is part of the body of the european economy it's a seventy three trillion dollar trading block you know the whole brags it is like your liver deciding to separate from your body and to say we're no longer part of the body were the independent liver and by the way everything comes in and out of the liver we now have to introduce another organ called the deliberate exit blipper attacks and then oh wait a minute that doesn't make any sense so we have to reverse all that there's no way to separate the u.k. from here it cannot be done it will not be done if it does it's in name only they make change. the color of their passport but you cannot you cannot separate the two boris johnson in their delusional when we were just in the york there were two guys walking behind me downtown you know the financial district and i heard them one guy complaining that his office was moving to frankfurt because their office in london was closing down because of this break set thing so i get another headline here

about the u.k. economy it is it has been hit definitely by this whole breaks it drained man who knows what's happening whether or not breaks it happens i think people will still be talking about pricks in twenty thirty years' time when it won't have actually happen nevertheless landlords left with four shards skyscrapers worth of empty space in the high street bloodbath this big companies like jamie's italian all of these chains. carluccio. they have a whole bunch of them listed here but the fact is that in figures compiled for the evening standard colliers international forecast that the blood bath and the retail and restaurant sectors will leave at least six point two million square feet in the u.k. vacant this year of that six hundred thirty thousand square feet isn't london of the property agent examined statistics from the local data company and go deportable it looked at stores which have closed either because firms have collapsed or restructured using a company voluntary arrangement

a move which allows businesses to quit stores or seek rent cuts so they using the c.v.s. as they're called so what is it called company voluntary agreement and they're able to get out of all these leases and landlords are left holding the bill on these overpriced properties and in a shrinking economy and with huge business rates on these small companies that the u.k. government is no longer going to be able to collect the whole. being independent it go it defies one hundred years of integrate. and to europe it's absurd i understand that everyone likes to be independent but it's never ever ever going to happen in any meaningful sense. the kingdom is just ever going to happen of course these new rules came out in the e.u. regarding privacy for example and all these tech companies had to change everything and i just noticed that over the weekend because we've lived in the united kingdom
