prime minister to resign may faced a tense meeting with tory m.p.'s and peers in parliament today as she was hoping to try and get control of her cabinet admits to all the infighting and her leadership is under a huge risk out the moment the infighting surrounds may's idea for i think the silly tainted customs arrangement that's her plan about securing a trade deal once the u.k. leaves the e.u. next march two thousand and nineteen now the reason praxiteles are angry is because the current plan has been quoted as being a soft breakfasts and closely aligned with the rules and mates having trouble balancing her cabinet at the moment and this is what has led to resignations these past twenty four hours but the foreign secretary boris johnson who is an influential figure the face in fact of the vote to leave campaign in two thousand and sixteen well he was meant to give a press conference at the western balkans summit in london but downing street put out a statement saying to reason they have accepted his resignation to resume
3:03 pm
a speaking in parliament today thanks boris johnson for his work but this is how they reacted but i want to recognize the work of the former secretary of state for executing the european union to recognise the passion that the former foreign secretary demonstrated it was. to even promoting. from zero zero zero order of the arms she really atmosphere of. oh i want to hear about these important marches she was being. the prime minister thank you for the soul the foreign sector demonstrated in promoting the global bridge to the world as we lead the european union but despite the eruptions of loftus reason a spokesperson said the government is not in a meltdown he said that there's no question of revisiting the position agreed on in checkers on friday but meanwhile jeremy corbin the late leader of the labor party has mocks may's claim that she's restored cabinet responsibility two years ago. on
3:04 pm
the river and sixteen months on from articles bring triggered it's only this weekend the cabinet managed to agree on the go shooting position itself. lasted forty eight hours corbin says that he understands why ministers did not resign on friday because their phones were made they would have lost their cars because of government cuts and there would be no bus services but there were also reports that m.p. said that they were on standby just in case right to expect m.p.'s up if they did resign on friday but in the past twenty four hours we've also seen the resignation of david davis the secretary which also led to his number two resigning following his example well he said the reason they had given away too much too easily when he resigned on sunday evening but the resignations of two of the cabinets most senior ministers leaves to raise a maze cabinet now in a tenuous position former london mayor ken livingstone told us he's never seen
3:05 pm
british politics and such disorder. the simple fact is i can't ever recall the trauma in my life when the politics of the british government has been in such chaos and with complete impossibility to try and understand where we'll be in three months will six months or next year will the government survive we don't know if it will we actually vote to leave we don't know literally i've never known such an certainty in all my time in politics and frankly i suspect it would be a huge impact on our economy what foreign corporation is going to be thinking of investing in britain when all of this is helping me and there is no one person on either side who can unite the tory party around this issue i am the most divisive issue and it takes me back to the nineteen nineties when our then tory prime minister john major who was trying to preside over a tory party totally devoted to the empowerment whether or not we should join the
3:06 pm
common currency and at the end of you had a labor landslide and i think most property trees and money made two of the next general election but that could be later this year i i think looking at the mess in the tory party now it's much more likely that it will be jeremy corbyn as a labor prime minister who will then negotiate a better deal would be like all parliaments been debating the future of teresa mayes cabinet and the brakes at negotiations the government's cobra emergency committee has been holding a meeting over the poisoning incident in amesbury that's where a woman along with her partner works suppose to know what choked nerve agent she died overnight officials still can't say whether the agent came from the same batch as the one used in march this poisoning of a former russian double agent and his daughter in the nearby city of solsbury. we know that the tests conducted at porton down have shown that both individuals were exposed to the same type of not ritual used to poison. it in march
3:07 pm
offices are still trying to work out how the pair were exposed to the same movie although tests have confirmed that they touched a contaminated item with their hands the story certainly taken a very serious new turn with the news of the passing away of don sturgis one of the two people that was affected in this so-called second poisoning incident she was forty four years old and she had passed away on sunday evening and now that this has happened it's clear to understand that the investigation is going to be expected to be much more vigorous and certainly stronger language is going to be needed than the one we've seen so far along the lines of most likely while the investigation is still continuing with lots of questions still around about where and how this couple could have potentially contaminated themselves we've heard that the working theory so far is that they came in contact with some kind of
3:08 pm
contaminated object and of course lots of questions there about how that could have happened given the millions and millions of pounds spent on dea come into contact the nation work in souls this is not stopping some officials in the u.k. including the u.k. defense minister to still continue to drag russia into the story the reality is that russia has committed to an attack on british soil which is seen by the. this is something designed think the world will unite with this actually. well if you keep in mind gavin williamson was a british politician who really raised eyebrows not just in russia but also here in the u.k. when it came to this whole scandal when he said that russia should shut up and go away so in this particular case what could be seen as a somewhat premature reaction seems. be followed by some british politicians as well as journalists here in westminster time to send a clear message to putin about chemical weapons relegated the remaining games of
3:09 pm
the world cup to elsewhere in europe and also indifference to collateral damage is one of the hallmarks of the putin regime and its extraterritorial operation. that novacek big jim don't sturges has died this was a murder of a british citizen and as a result of use of a chemical nerve agent produced by the russian state now certainly just to remind our viewers this is been a story that has been going on for over four months now following the so-called original poisoning of sergei and his daughter who are now well and recovered following quite some time at the hospital but they have been discharged and their whereabouts and current condition seems to be kept well under wraps and now with this latest poisoning that can certainly be described as extremely unexpected not least so by the british government that has been really pushing to some extent so
3:10 pm
hard this narrative of russia having been behind the script poisoning which of course russia has denied throughout this whole time it is quite safe to assume that some very serious facts are going to be having to be produced especially given this death and of course the consequences of that this whole saga has had on the ties between russia and the u.k. . an award winning journalist who helped the whistleblower edward snowden to expose the secrets of the n.s.a. has found himself under attack for visiting russia for a cyber security conference are to scale up and has more. well glenn greenwald who is the famous journalist who exposed electronic surveillance in the united states using the documents of edward snowden revealed by edward snowden the whistleblower he is getting a lot of criticism at this point now he went to russia he attended a conference on cyber security at that conference he spoke on a panel related to the issue of fake news and then from there he went and did a t.v. interview with this network and this is some of what he said in his interview with
3:11 pm
r.t. there's an obsession in the united states with viewing russia not just as an adversary but as an actual anime 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 now from there we saw a whole lot of media voices in the usa jump on glenn greenwald's simply for the fact that he gave this interview one commentator from m.s. n.b.c. responded to the fact that glenn greenwald stated his views in an interview with this network this way this is what was said glenn greenwald shows he's true colors as an agent of trauma and moscow now we know why he helps snowden defect covers for the leaks attack on democracy and shields for fox news he's deep in the kremlin's pocket. now a tweet from
3:12 pm
a media outlet associated with voice of america accuse glenn greenwald of quote voicing support for the government of russia in his interview now wiki leaks responded pointing out that at no point did mr greenwald voiced support for the russian government that was not anything he said in his interview at no point in the interview did he make statements supporting the russian government so this tweet from a u.s. government media outlet voice of america was simply not correct now glenn greenwald is not the first individual to have been targeted this way and basically accused of all kinds of things simply for appearing on this network we saw that green party presidential candidate jill stein faced similar allegations simply because she did interviews on r.t. and that she went to russia and met lattimer putin and we've also seen in the recent in the aftermath of the passing away of edge scholtz we've seen similar statements and strange things made in allegations made in the obituaries in the reporting around his death so glenn greenwald has responded to those jumping on him
3:13 pm
for doing the interview saying that this is simply mccarthyism and it reminds people of a period in the united states in which guilt by association was very common and people were being accused of being disloyal and treasonous simply for meeting with somebody or giving an interview or shaking hands with someone glenn greenwald is quick to jump on this as an example of kind of the hysterical atmosphere created around russia in the united states the subject of the interview he gave to r.t. . the german chancellor angela merkel has signaled her country is ready to negotiate on the new import tariffs with the u.s. over she did not rule out a hardline response if the talks are not productive. but besides the jail where ready to talk with the us you must try to reach an agreement otherwise we will have to take measures as we did in connection with the still face and aluminum tariffs i didn't want and meanwhile the u.s. ambassador to germany has met with the country's leading car makers to discuss the
3:14 pm
tariffs so american joins me live with the details. just a mere there's been some fallout caused by this meeting hasn't there. yes well he apparently held a top secret meeting with the who's who of the german auto industry regarding tariffs and this was met with harsh criticism from the head of the german social democratic party saying it wasn't in the ambassador's author already to do so let's check out what was said. if the u.s. government wants to talk about terrorists with us then this issue must be discussed between the u.s. secretary of commerce and the german minister for economic affairs and energy peter altmire we're not some kind of banana republic. this however isn't the first time the ambassador has landed in a controversy german politicians were outraged when he said that he wanted to empower the right wing all across europe let's take a look. at a lot of members of my party if i'm pretty explicit that we find these statements
3:15 pm
highly inappropriate for an ambassador. will be well advised to reconsider his role in this mission if the federal government takes the country's democratic sobering too seriously you should not in by ground zero for a chat but rather expel him immediately and buster's their representatives of the state of political movements u.s. ambassador grenell however does not behave like a diplomat but more like a far right colonial officer we won't tolerate such behavior. and back in may a grenell suggested that german businesses should stop doing business with iran which the entire country found inappropriate so the ambassador is now essentially being accused of interference so well just have to see if the world gets just as outrage about alleged american interference artists america thanks for bringing us that report. the mother of

a missing indigenous girl in canada the need of faith big eagle is suing the police . all of a sudden i heard a noise and looked out the window and she was getting hauled off by three men in a black truck mike mike all my children know i was babysitting and her children saw that. so i phoned the police and told them you know. how come your pick up my

3:18 pm
going missing women and girls. and that scares us i think they think we're easy prey you know we're something they can just help themselves to like take advantage of and. it's got to be you know i can't i can't think of any other reason they must think or pray they want something to chase something to her something to kill and that's us all of this has led to activism the women's memorial march is held annually in different canadian cities to commemorate those murdered or missing events goal is also to highlight the problem and particularly to cases involving native women the mother of missing don't need a big legal claims indigenous women suffer frequent attacks. we asked the royal canadian mounted police to comment on bagel's case but have yet to receive a reply lorelei williams who also lost
3:19 pm

a weeklong tour of europe where he'll meet his russian counterpart and his nato allies they were slater has warned alliance members he might withdraw american forces from the continent if they don't pay up. well see they don't want to tell they know you got to see bill's united states. illegally while nato members may be concerned that trumps tough talking it seems not everyone is keen on keeping the alliance up and running anti-war activists in the belgian council hit the streets on saturday denouncing the military bloc as well as trump's upcoming visit to brussels. the next stop on trump's tour will be the u.k. and protesters there are ready to track his every move playboy to look at why trump might end up not enjoying his stint in britain. when the orange one travels to britain he is going to join a long line of u.s.
3:21 pm
presidents to pretend that the special relationship is real in order to get a selfie with the queen there is fair to say that he won't be universally welcomed but the last thing that downing street and the state department want is for the donald to find out that he may be a little bit unpopular so we at i see my arm i have prepared a video guide for the head of his arrival so somebody washington just turned off fox news for a second and showed him this and everything else. mr president the people of britain are waiting to greet you in truly unprecedented numbers tens of thousands will lining the streets getting loser any issues now because of how keen some people lost and meet you this trip will probably avoid central london which also means bypassing all those knife wielding islamist terrorists so you don't want to be highlighted in the past as lurking on every street corner the queen will instead greet you wins it is state which is far more
3:22 pm
exclusive surrounded by very high rules and much closer to the royal protocol dictates that it is that if you do not comment on her majesty's of parents try to touch her or attempt to grab her by the side man i'm not saying that now mr president last years in the future the merged of you in a very compromising position with one particular woman you are going to have to meet again. this time around where mitigating the risk of any such leaks by having you meet mrs may not check it is her version of david and again with the purpose of keeping away from all those adoring crowds i'm pleased about addressing parliament like previous lose the us president's a lack of an invite has prevented b. embarrassment of us having to decline it but sadly you won't have time to meet all positionally that jeremy corbin. because britain's bernie has expressed a desire to discuss a number of issues with you it's thought he is a lover. and in order to demonstrate your dedication to the job of being president
3:23 pm
this trip has been upgraded from a mass state visit to a much more noble visit and time has been allocated should you wish to carry out some of your. own either on your golf courses in scotland mr president me when i say that britain is waiting for you. we turn now to the world cup it's a day without games so it's been fairly quiet here in moscow but it's the calm before the storm with just four countries left in the race for cup glory tomorrow france clash with belgium in the summer finals both teams are favorites of the tournament and then england play croatia in moscow on wednesday meanwhile a charity footy match involving stars of the game has been held in red square

participating was the captain of west germany's nineteen ninety world cup winning side and ex russian midfielder alexander most avoid the game it was organized by the naked heart foundation which helps children with disabilities we spoke to those taking part was. seeing children participate their emotions how it helps them become a part of this policy this is the best stoner a. moment is exactly that we. start presenting but i like that i can be here in the place. that's the thing that i mean i'm really not supposed to be in such an event be political. is it seems to me is absolutely some time that it will be like i mean. i'm so proud of seeing russia i'm so proud that i'd see him there played the son. that's sick for the soul i think that they conquered the hearts of the biggest skeptics about russian football and now what this actually happening today is
3:25 pm
really important because now thousands of boys and girls will want to will be motivated to take on this force and of course this way when it comes to young kids with special needs they're not an exception they also want to play for the gold and world cup is going to have an impact on them. this moment was. the last fifteen years from the beginning of his foundation and this is a very nice in a vertical producers ship and. can sustain. a profit each side from each other through the world cup was a very nice the you know it's a look of surprise the poster in the stadium still in the street the same russian team was in that thought i meant the quarterfinals maybe so many russians except. for the well. the opening game of this world cup was also
3:26 pm
a first by having ball girls our correspondent checked out the state of women's football in russia. which team has the best house like you will see in the opening game of the world cup it must be russia after all they won five nil no saudi arabia no wrong again so no here's who did. they found another player with every single pass the. world cup so they're from a junior women's football club. from a neighborhood. remote even by russian standard to get their free moment at the world cup opener the teenagers won a contest against boys and girls from all over the world's biggest countries. so there is some dispute lou. guilty here but she explained it says because he said if i say to you that the. millions would have loved to find themselves in the same

boots. girls from this amateur football club from moscow not so many of those in russia for now but calc them in you won't see them helping out at the russian world cup arenas but these ladies of f.c. girl power don't need special occasions to shine on and off the pitch their team can for one threw a party that would lure crowds of moscow's most hip party goers. for a bit of fun and all of the name of football women's amateur football football for everyone. is just like you. know. where it's fun no you simply go away. for six years for us they never tell

3:30 pm
heart of moscow for trying joe versus to be an artsy. corruption is everywhere in our gnosis i do is to have hurried over the employment and we still have a lot of growth within this you know especially in the hinterlands so i would say that the success story is a house it's a story once again because of how to put it to gain the political objectives but we didn't do that we didn't succeed in this economy grow.
