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 all the infighting in her leadership is under a huge risk out the moment the infighting surrounds that maze idea for i think the silly tainted customs arrangement that's happening about securing a trade deal once the u.k. leaves the e.u. next march two thousand and nineteen now the reason praxiteles angry is because the current plan has been quoted as being a soft breakfast 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
6:03 pm
a speaking in parliament to say 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 exiting the european union to recognise the passion that the former foreign secretary demonstrated it. to him for marching. in from oh i'm sure 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 britart of the world as we leave the european union but despite the eruptions of laughter to 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 cool been the leader of the labor party has mocks may's claim that she's restored cabinet responsibility two years on general
6:04 pm
for and sixteen months on from articles. it's only this week 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 they were on standby just in case ready to take 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 reason made cabinet now in a tenuous position. recross
6:05 pm
a large amount of them glazebrook independent political analysts the u.k. has held an emergency meeting on the poisoning at the same time when the cabinet is really in chaos over the home secretary's resignation does this look like a useful destruction perhaps. possibly yes i mean you could look at the latest novacek revelations in two ways can you on the one hand you might think it would be a propaganda gift to britain in this part of their overall propaganda campaign against russia to try to belittle and demonize russia during its successful hosting of the world cup on the other hand it doesn't make britain look very secure or very on top of things when it comes to policing and it really demonstrates that actually it turns out that the mounting of a campaign of vilification and a diplomatic campaign against russia was actually no substitute for basic police work and things like locating the poison that was used for tracking down the
6:06 pm
culprits and now we have supposedly in from what we've been led to believe another death from their supposed novacek nerve agent and they think that this was caused by the same poison the vile being left around that someone someone taps all of the effort to britain went to to demonize russia would have been much better spent trying to actually locate the poisonous substance perhaps and that they may well be embarrassed about it so at this point we have johnson the foreign secretary out and we also have brags that secretary david davis earlier he also resigned as well what could this mean for the briggs's process johnson was one of the driving forces behind that the negotiations as well. yeah well this is the whole the whole thing is really starting to unravel it means very likely there will be a leadership challenge mounted by hard right backstairs against theresa may to resign
6:07 pm
mate i think it was always going to come to this teresa mayes whole strategy was to kick the can down the road her strategy was to act hard breck's it to get the bricks to support her during her own leadership bid. after cameron's resignation. and then she she's you know she's maintained their support there was always going to come a time where she was going to have to basically admit in whatever strange twist of terminology she was going to use she was always going to have to admit that basically britain would have to abide by the you customs rules in order to deal with it with the northern ireland issue and that's been deaths been clear ever since the d u p. allies in government northern irish party ever since they said that they would not accept separate customs regulations for northern and the rest of the u.k. from that moment on was it became clear that the u.k. would have to accept the new custom the rules there's no other way around it and now finally the cat's out of the bag and she's admitted that that's basically what
6:08 pm
they want and now there's going to be potentially a coup mounted against have a hard right rex to tears what will become of the negotiations denigrates under their leadership. is anyone's guess but wasn't certainly clear is that everyone the tory party would be desperate to avoid a general election i think so they're going to try and get this all sorted out and stitched up internally but and quite likely we'll see a leadership challenge to the prime minister soon i think of course we'll be following to see where this reshuffle does and damned glazebrook independent political analyst thank you so much for your time thank you thanks a lot. the u.k. home secretary has been also briefing parliament on the latest incident in amesbury official still can't say whether the agent came from the same batch as the one used in march spoiling of a former russian double agent and his daughter in the nearby city of solsbury. nerve agent that's been used in this incident is the same as the fourth
6:09 pm
incident but we have not the scientists have not been able to identify or determine if it is the same passion it may well be but at this point that is not. 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 a 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 contaminated object and of course lots of
6:10 pm
questions there about how that could have happened given the millions and millions of pounds spent on dea come into contact with 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 simple reality is russia has committed to an attack on british soil which you see. there is something bizarre i think the world will unite with those actually. getting williamson's claim that russia has something to do with the. it's just the same old mantra russians did it. could you perhaps come up with something appropriate to the situation for instance 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
6:11 pm
a somewhat premature reaction seems to 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 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 don't sturges has done this was a murder of a british citizen 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
6:12 pm
least so by the british government that has been really pushing to some extent so 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. mourners after a short break. what
6:13 pm
the saying hold on let's move those jobs back to america by imposing sarus to equalize this trade picture and move toward the coast china extraction model you know where as private equity extracts wealth using labor triads china's but extracting wealth using leverage trade shenanigans so this is just the reverse of that song as i hear it in some people's voices starts to make a little bit more sense that people don't understand that this guy actually understands more than people i'm giving him credit for. talking back to the program an award winning journalist who helped whistleblower edward snowden to expose the secrets of the n.s.a.
6:14 pm
has found himself under attack for visiting russia for a cyber security conference artie's killed up and has the details 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 new. at work out this is some of what he said in his interview with 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 now from there we saw
6:15 pm
a whole lot of media voices in the usa jump on glenn greenwald 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 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 a tweet from 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
6:16 pm
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 a lot of mir 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 for doing the interview saying that this is simply mccarthyism and it reminds people of the 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
6:17 pm
states the subject of the interview he gave to r.t. . for more on this we can now cross live to author and journalist daniel lone star now do you think it's fair to criticize greenwald for simply visiting russia of course not. and wiki leaks has actually backed greenwald saying that his visit doesn't demonstrate his support for the russian government why do you think it's necessary for anyone to come out with such a blatant and hopefully obvious statement. well because. greenwald is absolutely correct america is an advance case of a steria about russia it sees it increasingly as an outright enemy it's rhetoric is increasingly bellicose and this is happening across the board from liberals to conservatives trump remarkably enough as one of the few exceptions but but
6:18 pm
everybody seems to think that it's open season on russia you can say what every you want doesn't matter how untruthful it is it's all fair game so that's those are the rules that now apply in the in the american media and as you're mentioning this is really just part of the bigger picture we've seen much the same happen when people like jill stein the former presidential candidate appear on this channel they're automatically labeled a russian agent is there any end to this. i wish i could say yes but i'm not i don't think there is. america is going through a very rocky time as much of the world has. suffered severe foreign policy setbacks in the ukraine in syria it sees russia's and behind both of those it's very very angry and what america is angry
6:19 pm
doesn't it's anger does not naturally subside it tends to build and build and now where it stops i don't know russia is a very powerful country so presume presumably. even washington will not. let good sense prevail i can't be positive but things are getting very feverish very angry very fast it does seem like we're getting out of pitching point we'll have to wait and see how that pans out author and journalist daniel is are that you so much for your time this evening. let's turn now to the world cup there are just four countries left in the race for the cup florrie later on to say france the clash with belgium in the semifinals those teams are now the two favorites to lift the trophy and then on wednesday england play croatia and moscow meanwhile a charity football match involving stars of the game has been held in red square
6:20 pm
participating with the captain of west germany's nine hundred ninety eight world cup winning sides an x. russian midfielder alexander must avoid the game was organized by the naked heart foundation which helps children with disabilities we spoke to those taking part that was really useful seeing children participate their emotions how it helps them become a part of this policy this is the best stone or a reward. for it was. not presented but i like that i can be here and help and also play red square that's the thing to remember i'm really glad to pull to support you in such an event be poets of the free food world cup which as it seems to me is absolutely fantastic. i'm so proud of seeing russia i'm still proud that i'd see him there played the sun tacit for the goal i think they conquered the hearts of the biggest skeptics about
