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 next march two thousand and nineteen now the reason praxiteles are angry is because the current plan has been quoted as being a soft and closely aligned with the rules and may's 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 a speaking in parliament today thanks boris johnson for his work but this is how
8:03 pm
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. to him promoting the to earn from zero zero zero order of the arms she really atmosphere that was all i want to hear about these important marches she was he was sure the prime minister thank you for the call the foreign sector demonstrated in promoting the global richard to the world as we lead 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 from the referendum sixteen months from articles. bring triggered it's only this we.
8:04 pm
don't manage to agree on the go shooting position it's. 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 calls because of government cuts and there would be no bus services but there were also reports that pace said that they were on standby just in case ready to take companies 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 former london mayor ken livingstone told us that he has never a say in british politics and such disorder. the simple fact is i can't ever recall
8:05 pm
a time 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 if we don't know will we actually vote to leave we don't know literally i've never known such an uncertainty 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 one nine hundred ninety s. when at then during prime minister john major it was trying to preside over a tory party to be divided in parliament whether or not we should join the common currency and at the end of his term you had
8:06 pm
a labor landslide and i think most property trees in my malin till 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 with the like during his two years as the u.k.'s chief diplomat or as johnson often gained global attention with his provocative remarks. argue that their source of a snuff shock is russia how did you manage to find it out so quickly and i look at the the evidence when the people from from porton down they were absolutely categorical and i asked the guy myself i said are you sure and he said there's no doubt we have not verified the precise source so typically you're not
8:07 pm
able at porton down to say where it is from we haven't yet been able to do that i was being very clear i thought i was being very clear to. the german program which is that porton dowden told us in absolutely no uncertain terms that this was a military grade. not that they knew wage law it is not the business of important on the i denied it and they whether it's even possible for them to identify the origins. they got. the roads lead to the. putins community the way it was the mountain thirty six. years i think the comparison with nine hundred thirty six is is certainly right. some said it was a symbol of the poet kenyan president and dislike of the british empire which had
8:08 pm
been such a fervent defender. the u.k. home secretary has been also briefing parliament on the latest incident in amesbury officials still can't say whether the agent came from the same batch as the one used in march poisoning of a former russian double agent and his daughter and the nearby city of souls very. used in this incident is the same as the march the fourth 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 no no 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
8:09 pm
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 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 seoul's 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 you see. there is something bizarre i think the world will unite with those actually. getting
8:10 pm
williamson's claim that russia has something to do with that. is just the same old mantra russians did it. could you perhaps come up with something new and proper in careful investigation 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 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. so you did not get your big jim don't sturgis has done this was a murder of a british citizen as a result of use of
8:11 pm
a chemical nerve agent bridge used 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 script 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 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. . the german chancellor angela merkel has signaled her country is ready to
8:12 pm
negotiate a new import tariffs with the u.s. however she did not rule out a hardline response if the talks are not productive but we're ready to talk with the u.s. must try to reach an agreement otherwise who have to take measures as we did in connection with the steel and aluminum tariffs. meanwhile the u.s. ambassador to germany has to match with the country's leading carmakers to discuss the terrorists are samir khan has the details the u.s. ambassador to germany a parent held a top a secret meeting with the who's who of the german auto industry to discuss tariffs and this was met with harsh criticism from the head of the german social democratic party saying that it wasn't in the ambassador's authority to do so. if the u.s. government wants to talk about tariffs with us then this issue must be discussed between the u.s. secretary of commerce and the german minister for economic affairs an energy peter
8:13 pm
altemeyer we're not some kind of banana republic this wasn't the first time the ambassador has managed to stir up controversy he frustrated germans the day here arrived in germany back in may with just one tweet in which he advised german businesses to stop doing business in iran first some context of this was right after trump announced that the us would you would a laterally withdraw from the iran deal and then just a month after that he offended germans again when he said that he wanted to empower the right wing all across europe with german politicians claiming that he had breached protocol and some even called for him to be expelled from the country so a lot of members of my party if i'm pretty explicit that we find these statements are highly inappropriate for an ambassador. canobie but advised to reconsider his role in this mission if the federal government takes the country's democratic sobering too seriously you should not invite a ground zero for
8:14 pm
a chat but rather expel him immediately and bust as the 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 so this latest scandal has the ambassador stirring up controversy just days before trump is scheduled to visit europe an american journalist has been criticized for a visiting rush hour find out why right after the break here on our team for national. the saying hold on with us move those jobs back so merica by imposing sorrows to
8:15 pm
equalize the trade picture and move toward a post china extraction model you know where as private equity extracts wealth using elaborate buyouts 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 are giving him credit for. welcome back to the program an award winning journalist who how that whistleblower ad word snowden to expose the secrets of the n.s.a.
8:16 pm
has found himself under attack for visiting russia for a cyber security conference artie's khalid mopp 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 network 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 two thousand and sixteen election is similar to pearl harbor now from there we saw
8:17 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 here how 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 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
8:18 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 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 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 states the subject of the interview
8:19 pm
he gave to r.t. investigative journalist to max bloom and town told us that the whole case is based on the u.s. perception of fresh ransom anime. this is outright slander. that is being committed by an employee of m s n b c which is push this frame of anything connected to russia being a form of treason if you look at malcolm nance's own record of wild statements including that the united states as a constitutional republic is about to be destroyed by a lot of near putin it's pretty clear that he's to intelligence what harvey weinstein is to feminism this is all about geopolitics and people like glenn greenwald. have been become collateral damage in the revival of mccarthyism.
8:20 pm

ever ball girls around the world cup's opening match there from a junior women's football club called cadets from a neighborhood that's remote even by russian standards 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 country. so it is obviously. guilty here but since they could see they could he said it was . 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
