such as in participation in certain agencies where we're proposing a way forward and of course that would be to be negotiations on that way forward but this is the plan that i believe both delivers on bricks it to the british people but does so in a way that protects jobs and make sure that we have a smooth and orderly breaks it year in black. thank you mr speaker the prime minister for once called the restatement and i share with you the remarks that she's made to gardening don't stop just like a which has been listening in to reason mayor she addresses the house of commons there and this is the third at resignation in twenty four hours four to reason may we're going to cross live to our guest now neil clark to discuss this further neil good to see you thanks for joining us on the program such short notice so what are we saying here is the next man barreling in tricky situation for to reason may or are we seeing a full blown crisis for the conservative government. i think that now the foreign
11:01 am
secretary boris johnson who's not i think we're not seeing a full blown crisis nikki i think that he had just been day to day this perhaps to reason may may have been too obviously she's not going to be a new press secretary but in paris the big the biggest beast in the tory party out there and he delayed his resignation today to about i think was about three o'clock he was locked away and i'm sure he'd been on the phone to colleagues. cool the. first thing in the sun and saying basically i think probably we. need to resign and possibly stand for leadership and try to train him so i asked the candidates usually collection of live or a kind of wrecks it that these people the tory party want and they would argue that a large percentage of the british public want to know so twenty four hours we've seen. david davis to back to secretary go his number two steve baker now the foreign secretary in south boris johnson it will we see more resignations of the
11:02 am
day as the next day continues to think. it's interesting isn't it because we've got what you would call the more and i want you to. simplistically got the more you want those who would like to see a more clean break with you still in the cabinet people anymore don't. go don't think will be resigning liam fox isn't he want what will he do he's been a pretty strong supporter of the e.u. generally and i think the next the next twelve hours and i think the reason may now the big question is what's going to happen to reason may still be prime minister it when england win the world cup on sunday that's the big question because now she really does look up to now and to resume a has survived because basically she's magically people together basically because of the fear. of government but now it seems with her proposal you put forward last
11:03 am
week she was hoping that they will rally around those they were very right i think i think she probably thought. she went to far down the road of making to the sessions to the remaining party to join those who want to so the extent is she's only eighteen those who want to be grateful i think she just made a mistake that. i'm talking about single market and so i think that if i was a betting man i would now say the odds are in favor of there being. a leadership election because of boris johnson's raising it's still not inevitable to reason they could clean on for dear life and somehow survive but now i think the odds are the other way around and i think that now she's really in the state we're going to just pause there for a minute that we go back to the house of commons to listen in live to raise a make do all the lineout let's come back here in just a moment sorry to interrupt. and how close will for.
11:04 am
reconcile the check a statement with the recent repeal of the nine hundred seventy two act on the withdrawal and also with the including the european court of justice and the democratic self-government in this country. and i say to my honorable friend that we have indeed as he said in the withdrawal act with repealed the european communities act but we have also ensured that we will take into u.k. your the point at which we leave the european union laws such that we see a smooth and orderly exit in the future the european court of justice will not have jurisdiction over the united kingdom and this parliament will make sovereign decisions this parliament will first of all make a sovereign decision when the withdrawal of the meaningful vote in the withdrawal and implementation bills are bought before this house as to whether this parliament
11:05 am
is willing to accept the deal that has been negotiated and thereafter it will be up to this parliament to decide whether it agrees with any changes in rules or any laws that this parliament wants to pass that is the sovereignty taking by taking back control of our laws that is what i believe people want and that is what we will do with kamal but i go back to i guess no clock now thank you for holding the line a mistake clark we heard during the call been at the leader of the opposition labor party speaking earlier he denounced mase government for wasting two years with cabinet infighting you said the government is not capable of securing a good deal for britain something you would agree with the first statement. general i think i would agree with i think the problem of course is that you know let's face it the country is divided was divided there are fifty two percent believe forty eight percent to remain so what do you teach even though we get into all the
11:06 am
difficulties of what actually people. means where people are voting to leave the last and i think they were and the customs union to you were they labor party's position which is a kind of compromise too on each side that we would see it would be a back seat but it would mean staying in the customs union i think what's happened in zuccotti park the is there is a bigger window that are to nicky who have worked very. very hard breaks it and so trees are made but a big problem bringing all her beauty together and jeremy called me and i think jeremy found a kind of compromise that he supports on except of course there is an element in the labor party who don't want to leave the e.u. or talked see. that only well you know he's got problems too. but i think the labor party is generally. generally less divided on this than the conservancy it's now and it's going to be absolutely fascinating next two days
11:07 am
because the latest opinion polls show that labor's in the eat only by one or two points so that might have a factor but i don't see i think you know to raise a man now has made a big mistake again she's got a big crisis on our hands for the next few hours going to be. resigned boris johnson is a very very ambitious politician he wants to be punished that means any secret about that and i think he believes now it's time and even if he thinks suddenly that he'd get enough support within the party to put a challenge to theresa may and become the handle all those tory m.p.'s who are not happy with teresa mayes compromise on glad to see him off. with the e.u. and. however there was a time for a full blown crisis within the u.k. government now is a spectacularly bad time we've got anyone doing particularly well in the world cup but the governor refusing to go down to russia to support them we've got donald trump the u.s. president coming to visit the u.k.
11:08 am
shortly and also we have this this latest novel chalk incident so boris johnson of course he won't be attending the government's emergency cobra committee meetings on the poisonings now so how did the most appropriate time to quit the cabinet always thought his intent well i don't think so i think it was johnson's quick because what happened with the reason most planned last friday you're right i mean it's extraordinary we got the body in england in the world cup semifinals for the first time in twenty eight years a very real chance to get into the world cup the first time in fifty two years the whole country. got a boycott of the world cup by the british government and then. of course boris johnson is resigned he could actually go to moscow now but he's not helped by that actually he supported force and on top of that if that wasn't enough we've got a conservative party political crisis at home with a resume a clean on to be a lie and that wasn't enough but the us president coming to britain in
11:09 am
a couple of days' time extraordinary probably just absolutely extraordinary combination of events isn't it we were about four percent increase we speak and as he also says we've got the. shooting situation and we're very sad. cummings there yesterday now. that is. what happened. but investigation into that and so it really is one of those weeks in politics where quite extraordinary things are happening and i don't think it's happened i think indeed i can hardly watch an earplug journalist and writer thank you for joining us on r.t. . thanks mike a well let's go over to our correspondent in london now who nisha busy in london for you that developments are coming thick and fast can you bring us up to speed on the latest. of course well we had jeremy cool band leader of the labor party speaking in parliament and dressing parliament and he said the cabinet
11:10 am
deal took two years to negotiate two days to unravel he essentially mase claim that she's restored collective responsibility is something that she said but he says that he understands why ministers didn't resign on friday when they attended the checkers meeting at the maze country house because their phones were removed and they would have looks like halls because of government cuts and there would have been no bus but there were also reports on friday that m.p.'s were standing by in case of any resignations when ministers would have lost them in the stairwell calls and people would be on standby to help pick them up and drive them down the long drive of the country house that that may speaking in parliament as well as she commented on the white papers this is the government's plan to set out. the exit from the e.u. which will be published and which is what with expecting to see see that yes the big news that's day is the foreign secretary boris johnson he was meant to give a press conference at the west involved in summits in london but then downing
11:11 am
street a statement saying the prime minister to resign may have excepted johnson's resignation but he was held up in his official residence today so this was increasing speculation and rumors circling around that he might resign and also only. the foreign secretary but he was of course the public face of the leave campaign but in under twenty four hours we've also seen the resignation of david davis secretary he said that two reason may have given given away too much too easily these were his comments when he resigned as franks and secretary on sunday night and on sunday night rather and will be replaced by dominic a prominent leave come painter in the two thousand and sixteen referendum but it's resting parliament this off to name to resume a johnson david davis the best way to steering the brakes at legislation through the car. she at the moment face a tough task in trying to get trying to avoid cabinet infighting and keep a cabinet on track as often in. missions that the thank you for the update well
11:12 am
earlier i spoke with r.t. is going underground host afshin rattansi here's what he had to say about the developments of trump's visit alone the nato summit on wednesday britain faces the prospect of not actually having a government let alone any prospects for brics of negotiations and it is also interesting it has to be said that media in this country hopelessly reporting a summit of the prime minister trying to cobble together some coalition over britain's exit from the european union they were all going along with it and it was only at midnight last night that some of the media here began to pick up on what is a catastrophic crisis for the british government facing problems on all sides and quite apart from the opposition to god trumps visit who will actually meetings donald trump later this week is no question and exactly so what impact exactly are these resignations going to have on the brakes in negotiations. well. interesting
11:13 am
that over the weekend there were rumors that european presidents the many different european presidents were told they shouldn't be commenting on the deal some kind of deal that was organized over the weekend by tourism may for fear of trying to upset the politics of this country today we haven't really heard much from european leaders either they have perhaps sensing they were just stay out of the conversation there is i suppose a doubt now whether to raise a maze plan which there was always a doubt over it i mean the plan that was published in the media here said it was going to work was a plan that european presidents and european officials arguably could never have accepted. but as police have said they still can't link the nerve agent found in the town that a new spray with the one used in march is poisoning of a former russian double agent and his daughter in the nearby city of souls bree the
11:14 am
statement comes in the wake of the death of one of the victims of the latest poisoning the woman along with her partner had been exposed to the nerve agent novacek the investigation is being led by detectives from the u.k.'s counterterrorism. they are unable to say at this moment whether the nerve agent did this incident it's linked to the attack on serco newly ascript. scotland yard's counterterrorism chief also said the victims must have handled a contaminated container which police are still searching for meanwhile a meeting of the government's cobra emergency committee is being held over the poisoning incident in amesbury and us to see a child connect takes us through the events as they unfolded as well as some of the reaction it's been triggered it. one of the two people that were taken to hospital last weekend from ns very which is just miles away from seoul's brewery where sergei and yulia scrip all were said to have been poisoned by the child back in march was indeed been pronounced dead we do know that forty four year old donna
11:15 am
sturgis died on sunday night and we know that the british prime minister has expressed that she's the poles have shocked by this development indeed the partner of this woman who was also taken to hospital remains in critical condition and scotland yard have now announced they will be treating this as a murder investigation and despite the fact that this lead a separate incident following the one with. a script is indeed being in its early stages of investigation we do know that some officials giving the whole mood about these incidents have still been pointing fingers at russia already somebody is responsible for you know the end of the day. with the kremlin time to send a clear message to putin about chemical weapons really keyed the remaining games of the world cup to elsewhere in europe well us some of the newspapers here in the u.k. have indeed already followed suit i can show you just some of this morning here we
11:16 am
have not been charged mom. and what what she's been poisoned with is described as a russian nerve agent despite the fact that of course throughout the last several months we have heard that other countries have come forward in terms of being able to have produced this nerve agent here we have russian boys and brits dies surely given how much attention has been given to the original for you. poisoning which of course we have to keep in mind that himself and his daughter yulia are now fine and well and have now for quite some time left the hospital it is expected that given the moods with the original poisoning despite the fact that investigation is now only trying to figure out how to. exactly possible that months after the original poisoning this coupled with also pronounced to have fallen ill for novacek we do know that given the moods by politicians here in the u.k. in terms of the attitudes of blaming russia for this despite russia saying it has
11:17 am
nothing to do with it is likely to stick around especially with just last week before this woman unfortunately passed away we heard the home secretary talk about how russia needs to come clean in this case it is now time for the russian state comes forward and explains exactly what has gone on it is the actions of the russian government that continue to undermine our security well liked and of course this is a story now that has taken a much more tragic turn of events so far you have announced that four people had fallen sick from this nerve agent on their soil we now know force that one person has died which means this investigation is going to be even more vigorous and hopefully will be shedding light on who exactly was behind these incidents former u.s. diplomat jim johnson says claims made by the british authorities on the media don't quite add up. evidently as i say if the of the two scruples were poisoned with
11:18 am
some agent which the british authorities say is in all the truck which is a highly deadly nerve agent why why did they recover but these people who were exposed weeks after the fact didn't it was simply a residue left over after presumably the area had been scrubbed i think the person god would do if i were british that is it is demand that their government come clean to what they actually know little really expect anything from the british media but the british media is even worse than the american media as it is being total lapdogs of whatever it is the government says. it would winning journalist who helps the whistleblower edward snowden to expose the secrets of the n.s.a. has found himself on the attack visiting russia for a cyber security conference we can now get more on this from our correspondent caleb maupin ok nick what has this journalist supposedly done wrong
11:19 am
while glenn greenwald who's very famous for his exposé of electronic surveillance in the united states exposing and putting out the documents revealed by edward snowden he went to russia for this security conference on regarding cyber security he actually spoke on a panel regarding the issue of fake news and while he was in the country he actually gave an interview to this channel this is glenn greenwald speaking to r.t. . there's an obsession in the united states with viewing russia not just as an adversary but as an actual enemy it's permeated both political parties there's actually talk a lot now about how what they regard as the interference in the twenty sixteen election is similar to pearl harbor when the japanese attacked the united states during world war two or al-qaeda and nine eleven and so there's this sense that russia is now an enemy on par with al-qaeda or the japanese during world war two
11:20 am
russia is often talked about this way in the sense that any kind of connection with or interaction with russia is viewed as inherently suspicious or even worse and it's extremely dangerous and extremely toxic. now immediately after he gave this interview he was jumped on by a number of voices in u.s. mainstream media number of voices condemned him for having done this interview this is what was said by a commentator for the u.s. t.v. network m s n b c let's take a listen glenn greenwald shows his true colors as an agent of trauma and moscow now we know why he helps note in the fact covers for the leaks attack on democracy and shields for fox news he's deep in the kremlin's pocket. now glenn greenwald responded to this this is harsh words from the u.s. or u.s.
11:21 am
m s n b c commentators saying you would think that any real journalists inside n.b.c. news might be bothered enough by this classic mccarthyite tactic accusing a journalist of being an agent of russia without a shred of evidence to denounce it but you would be quite wrong now it's also interesting to note that a a media outlet that actually does work for the us government voice of america news on twitter accused glenn greenwald of quote voicing support for the government of russia in his interview now if you actually watch as interview at no point did he make any statement voicing support for the government of russia so a u.s. government what is often called a propaganda outlet voice of america made false statements about glenn greenwald's appearance on our t.v. now glenn greenwald is not the first person to have been attacked in this manner a century guilt by association for having anything to do with this network jill stein who was the candidate for the green party of the united states she was the
11:22 am
presidential candidate in two thousand and sixteen for the green party she was widely criticized in american media for giving interviews to r.t. and for having met russia's president vladimir putin and a number of the attacks on jill stein in the us media actually suggested that she had a television program or a show of her own on r t that is simply not the case but they did not run corrections they seem to indicate that she had a t.v. show showing that not only are these these kind of guilt by association allegations rather extreme but they often are very poorly researched and state factual accuracy is similar statements have been made about the recently deceased ed schultz of this network so if you look over it a glaring greenwald has responded to these allegations and these these criticisms of him for simply doing an interview on this network saying that they constitute mccarthyism and many people are reminded of mccarthyism where people are now. even criticized for the statement that they made but simply for people to associate with guilt by association is accusations of disloyalty and treason simply for giving an
11:23 am
interview or shaking hands with somebody so people are are widely reminded of that so as people watch the criticism of glenn greenwald people are seeing that it fits into a wider a wider atmosphere that has been created throughout the united states and his kind of more pain frankly for the update on that story. now seems that view is that becoming increasingly skeptical of the news beamed into their homes at least that's according to one recent poll conducted in the u.s. my county have breaks down the story just imagine you were killed for twenty four hours a day seven days a week three hundred sixty five days a year for two years preaching a simple message russia meddling in the u.s. election russia did meddle in the two thousand and sixteen election the united states is still vulnerable to russian and political interference if the russians
11:24 am
were not only meddling of the two thousand and sixteen election from a far and no one gives a monkeys in two thousand and seventeen this ex national security advisor pleaded guilty to lying to the f.b.i. . kelly you know he steve was gorka you know he. flynn only the smartest of the smart get to be on jeopardy right so what does this little exchange last night say about the nation's focus or lack thereof on the whole ball of russia meddling in collusion investigation it did this may be hard for some people to understand especially those individuals on fake news c.n.n. as president trouble call them but american is no reading about this america doesn't care about this america has never yet been told either how trump colluded with anyone how the russians colluded how they affected the
11:25 am
election nothing in calculable effort hundreds of millions spent on a simple message and people just don't get it and they. what's worse they make fun of you laugh at you imagine you're a journo with the u.s. delegation visiting north korea and even the north koreans mock you as you board the bus the pool reporter traveling with secretary pompei you asked the north korean guide what pyongyang expects from the meetings his reply will have to see like your president says and then he fired back with a question of his own asking in this van no fake news out to add insult to injury or injury to insult time is running out for the peddlers of fake new moves says trump. twitter is getting rid of fake accounts as
11:26 am
a record pace will that include the failing new york times and propaganda machine for amazon the washington post who constantly quote anonymous sources that in my opinion don't exist they would both be out of business in seven years let's be honest here nearly every major and minor media network gets its share of criticism deserved or undeserved and we're no exception russia today which is the propaganda arm of the russian government the mask are controlled propaganda cable news channel russia today you know propaganda arm of the least consider the us intelligence to be a propaganda arm of the russian that all r.t. was in our propaganda arm of the russian government what's changed is that people increasingly just don't trust the media anymore society is skeptical take this poll sixty two percent of us adults believe that the news they see the papers on
11:27 am
t.v. on the internet is biased it's tricky you start with one side's opinion and people will ask why you didn't start with the others you report on rumors people accuse you of speculation you don't mention the rumors people accuse you of censorship but when you go all out on an intentional information crusade to smear sally and stain who only to get laughed at by the north koreans the whole cruel or. let's go back to our breaking news story now the british foreign minister boris johnson has announced his resignation he's the third minister to quit in just twenty four hours with all three refusing to back to reason may's plans for a softer brags that johnson's departure follows the resignation of brecht's it secretary david davis and undersecretary steve baker let's go live to london now and artie's henny's sethi any she can you bring us up to speed on all the
11:28 am
developments it's been a very busy day for you i know and it's not over yet but just tell as well you know so far. so let's just get you up to speed on the most recent developments in parliament today say labor has the effect keep has been speaking saying that no one fully understands to reason may's facilitated custom some arrangement and this was may's proposal where she combined the customs arrangement with the customs union rather with the facilitated arrangement both of which were rejected by brussels and this is the reason bright city is that angry really because the current plan is quite soft bright it closely aligned with the rules and they is having trouble now balancing her cabinet and this is what has led to the resignations within twenty four hours but the foreign secretary boris johnson while he was meant to give a speech at the press conference at the western balkan summit in london but downing street put out a statement this afternoon saying to reason they had accepted his resignation but let's listen to theresa may now and what she had to say in parliament today but i
11:29 am
want to recognize the work of the former secretary of state for accepting the european union to recognise the passion that the former foreign secretary demonstrated it's going to. go in for marching. in from all over your share of the arms she really atmosphere. i want to hear about these important marches she was so i think i'm sure the prime minister thank you for the soul the foreign sector demonstrated in promoting the global bridge into the world as we lead the european union. well as you can hear the headcount comments were met with loft they're up things throughout the commons but jeremy coleman has also. claimed that she is the store's cabinet responsibility let's take a listen to what he had to say earlier as well. two years on from the referendum sixteen months from articles being triggered it's only this weekend the cabinet
11:30 am
managed to agree on the goal surely was assuring. us that you're measuring lasted forty eight hours. or jeremy corbyn says that he understands why ministers didn't resign on friday when all the ministers met at mays country house he says their phones were removed they would have lost their cars because of government cuts and there would have been no bus service there but in under twenty four hours we've also seen the resignation of david davis the practice secretary he said that reason had given away too much too easily when he resigned on sunday nights but he'll be replaced now we're hearing by dominic robb a prominent leave campaigner in the two thousand and sixteen referendum but reason they had hopes that the cabinet had secured an agreement on friday check is the prime is country house which would have seen her secure and deliver the right to breakfast for the u.k. but one of the points that they seem to form and seem to come up to a conclusion with was that they want to.
