10:02 am
weigh. or or we can choose to unite and support the best deal that can be negotiated this deal the withdrawal agreement and the political corruption represents a huge and damaging failure as a psychologist it's clear to me to see that the prime minister is in denial the prime minister comes before us today trying to sell us the deal that is already dead in the water i'm almost tempted to ask if the honorable members opposite will put their hands up if they actually do support the prime minister and the senate proposal and. my road or frozen which serves what we would leave the customs union . the next to over was to my right over the frozen so that she would move the
10:03 am
integrity of the united kingdom the whole project told so as all the was my right on who froze so that we would be armed to the jurisdiction of the european court of justice oscar one hundred seventy four says another was quite chaotic times in the u.k. at the moment as theresa may not only tries to push through and save her brags a deal but also essentially says save her post as prime minister of this country we're seeing right now a new set of resignations having taken place this morning with a high profile cabinet ministers and junior ministers heading towards the door in defiance of may's approach towards bracks it we certainly know that this is an extremely nerve wracking time not just for her but for the rest of the country that i was watching exactly where this brags that chaos is going to be leading i can show you some newspapers here that are not being forgiving towards to resubmit all . well this one is pretty self-explanatory as you can see there are others that are
10:04 am
talking about eleven ministers rejected her proposals forty tory rebels are plotting to bring her down war cabinet and others are seeing me papers over the cracks and here we have another one that talks about a split cabinet a split party and a split nation and indeed all of this comes following to recently yesterday holding an entire five hour session with her cabinet ministers trying to push through and convince them that her draft a deal agreed with the e.u. is the best one and the only one possible indeed we saw a very tense and divided cabinet. members of which did not necessarily want to accept what she was offering the alternatives to her pushing them to agree with her were resignation some of them we have seen today there's been quite a bit of talk of me potentially having to resign herself and today she has also been appearing in parliament where there is still of course quite
10:05 am
a bit of indignation because what happens next is this draft deal now that it's been approved by cabinet ministers following quite a fight it is going to go to brussels where it will be signed off by e.u. member states but then it has to come back to westminster and be approved in parliament and that is where it gets tricky course over the last several weeks there has been speculation has been ripe that a possible vote of no confidence could take place with the letters floating in of tory m.p.'s demanding that theresa may step down there have been a renewed wave of these speculations going around today saying that this could happen as early as today this thursday because of this renewed dissatisfaction with the way to recently has been handling this so indeed a very very chaotic time as theresa may try is to do her best at this point to try to keep this ship afloat. well we asked the u.k.
10:06 am
independence party leader jared batten whether trees amaze government is teetering on the brink i certainly think her leadership is i wouldn't be surprised if she's not gone by next week as prime minister because it's difficult to see how she can survive this she's come up with this withdrawal agreement that nobody wants it doesn't satisfy the remain as you don't want to leave anyway and it doesn't satisfy the leavers because under it we don't really leave so no one's going to be happy about this i don't believe she can get it through parliament and of course it also has to come through the european parliament ukip any piece will vote against it i think other groups will vote against it here so i'd be surprised if it actually got through this parliament either people are deserted the tory party i've seen on twitter people tearing up their cards and taking photographs so this deal doesn't actually satisfy any body. newly declassified documents reveal that the cia sought to experiment with the so-called truth serum as part of a project called called project medication this involves drugging prisoners who
10:07 am
would not succumbed to other enhanced interrogation techniques. project medication was of previously undisclosed element of this program in which in addition to the physical and psychological torture that the cia was engaged in several ca doctors decided to try to figure out whether they could also find some kind of truth serum that they would use against people's will to inject them with and make them talk or the american civil liberties union fourteen court to two years to take a nice documents and they gave the lowdown on the cia's extraordinary rendition program with more details is what i'd guess. it wasn't an isolated case or to an accident or oversight was government sanctioned systematic or that there were manuals instructions on how to inflict pain that's not a secret in the immediate aftermath of nine eleven we tortured some folks see
10:08 am
torture isn't only frowned upon because it's evil vile it's also ineffective problem number one imagine the cia's surprise when those people that they were putting through hell resisted grew used to it enhanced interrogation techniques were begun within six those these progressed from attention flaps and wool into confinement in both large about five hours and small about one our book says and finally to the war to board amazingly resistant to waterboard what happened was that the victims and this is problem number two adapted to suffering cia's own words the prisoners began to see certain torture procedures as escape a break from other harsher measures what a conundrum having slapped beaten confined and water boarded these people they were
10:09 am
getting results so they opted for something new something like a truth serum problem was. and this is problem number three seriously illegal there were at least two legal obstacles approved bush and his medical experimentation on prisoners and a ban on interrogation no use of mind altering drugs the question became moot since the legal department did not want to raise another issue with the department of justice problem number four revulsion cia torches according to the torturers themselves the doctors others who were present while horrendous to watch the whole experience responsible medical officer did was visually and psychologically very uncomfortable for all those witnessing it the problem was so widespread and so serious that employees had to be counseled and then checked to make sure they were still all right in the head after everything they had seen and done and they began
10:10 am
only hiring people who had a stomach for torture let me be clear on what the cia doctors role was here when the cia tortures were torturing a prisoner for example by bought by waterboarding him say doctors would medically resuscitate the prisoner when he would become unconscious from too much torture what they did was allow the cia to continue torturing people over and over problem number five a lot of problems here journalists activists n.g.o.s they kept crying kept sniffing around digging up details and publicizing every day over the government the cia they resisted see for example how the document that revealed all of this looked initially when released under the freedom of information act in two thousand and sixteen or a lot of information in it it's almost like two fingers to the press sometimes these court battles took years but. they voted out eventually.
10:11 am
ancient history you might say we knew most of this plus it happened in the early two thousand lessons have been learned and this torture will never happen again you think they said what do you think about waterboarding i said i like it a lot that i don't think it's tough enough. with you have to keep in mind that we're talking about a forty four country wide torture program. so it's a very rich complex torture machine that was put in place with obviously many hundreds of people complicit. in the torture that happened so this is
10:12 am
a high level of top level civilian. plus we also military people involved in creating the felt being here and it's limited seems to me a shift in that maybe people at cia and in the federal government in security or in the people that are involved in this kind of thing it is very possible that they believe this is a way to. to achieve their goals and then and bypass the label of torture the concept of torture is to treat human beings as if they are less than less than human less than an animal less and plant that they are they are not even living creatures that they are. cars in a wheel experiencing medically with these people it is the equivalent of torture it is just as the humanizing. in other news this evening the world anti-doping agency wilder is set to visit a laboratory moscow later this month that is part of russia's efforts to rebuild
10:13 am
its reputation in the wake of the doping scandal which rocked world sport water maybe announcement at a meeting and as a bizarre i see our share of ski sent this report from the capital. i mean from the meeting that i wonder delegation vision to russia to meet with years. to visit on the twenty. people. we will complete dish work well before the date of thirty first december twenty eighth which usually. privy to meeting and ship them the water foundation board met in baku a genuine firestorm among its ranks with this flying high from the other side of the atlantic the u.s. side are accusing the water of you know caving into the russians and criticizing the decision in september to reinstate. but this time the big news obviously obviously of the day is that moscow and the sports minister of russia allowed. the
10:14 am
access to its laboratories in moscow but you could say you read samples which was the biggest and the most important criteria of assad has not conditional unconditional reinstatement in september now we know that there was a delegation will travel to moscow on november twenty eighth so i asked the president of water so craig really aware that he felt this was the end of the saga does this new developments with. the water people going to moscow in the army twenty eighth means that all the concerns regarding this cooperation between the russian authorities and water can be put to rest will resolve the situation with the russian of. and to duping asian she is complying subject to the condition of the little ones like conditions which beautified then we carry on as normal i also managed to later catch up with the secretary general of the organization mr levy niggly he said pretty much the same confidence as the
10:15 am
president while i have no reason not to share his confidence i mean the russian authorities told us that they would do it back in september so we. i trust that they will keep their promises before the thirty first of december but i'd like to remind that this happens among the very strong confrontation between the u.s. anti-doping agency vocal critics of a reinstatement they even had a private summit in washington d.c. to two weeks ago where they even hinted at a possibility of pulling the budget that the u.s. contributes every year to waters annual budget and i also asked the president of whether he felt there was any kind of confrontation with their u.s. colleagues is there a conflict of any kind with the u.s. anti-doping agency and u.k. and i don't mean agency following the summit at the white house a few weeks ago i think it would be easier to she is the. machine that was.
10:16 am
voyage indicated that it was pretty easily. it was limited to people to get particular. decision and she shows now we also have a confirmation from the russian ministry official from the minister himself that russia indeed granted the access to moscow aboard stories and obviously we'll be following that process on the damage twenty eight every step of the way make sure you tune in to r.t. to get the details on that day what happens in moscow. reporting now you're watching our table going to take a quick break more news in team. you should. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected.
10:17 am
so when you want to be president. some want. to go right to be close to what the three of the people. interested in the why. there should be. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this spirit dramatic developments only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.
10:18 am
again now let's go back to our top story in the continuing saga breaks it in the u.k. and the prime minister's fight to not just for her draft deal but also her political future it seems we can get more discussion now with dr mark shanahan he's professor of politics at redding university and he joins us right now and you're very welcome as always mark we've seen a stream of resignations today possibly a vote of no confidence is on the way to the future reason may do you think she can survive all of this. the best chance she has of surviving is there won't be more than one hundred fifty people voting against if this vote no confidence comes through which is very very likely. and she may well the survive because the tory party is probably very concerned that if she goes her replacement could be someone who is seen as less palatable to the
10:19 am
u.k. public and it might throw the whole country into election fever and we might end up with a general election and at the moment there is no guarantee to the tories that they will get back into power. what do you make of her statement to today she was talking about her break the deal and she said look it's it's her deal my deal no deal or no brakes it is it is simple is that is there another option g think. well that kind of throws everything back into play her deal probably is the best possible deal that she could get but what it has shown is that after two years of negotiations with the other twenty seven members of the e.u. that the best possible deal the u.k. can get is not going to be as good as the deal they have currently as members but what she is trying to forge is the deal that minimizes the economic impacts on the country if we go over a cliff with hard brakes it hard exit that could have highly mental effects
10:20 am
on the economics on business within the country but she really doesn't want to concede that the country made a bad decision in twenty sixteen she's still going along the lines of juicy with the will of the people and that she has to deliver some kind of breaks for it as opposed to critics say look you've dealt something that nobody likes it or you know the remains want to remain the breakfast breaks it is what breaks it nobody's got what they want here and what are the chances of this going through parliament and getting support there and if that doesn't happen where does that leave the u.k. in this whole saga. it is absolutely a dead duck that agreement which also has to be agreed by twenty seven other e.u. nations and may not get through there but in terms of going through parliament in the u.k. it has no support it was pure theatre in the house of commons today treat them
10:21 am
a stood up there like the captain of the titanic heading towards an iceberg there were snipers all around her from her own benches from the other side everybody was shooting at her but she played the straight bat she was sticking to her gun she was sticking to her message unfortunately that's the best she can deliver on bricks that and it is not good enough for anyone it leaves the country in a mess potentially with a constitutional crisis what it could quite easily mean is that breaks it gets kicked down the road for another year or two a labor sort of suggesting today that the only way to get out of this is to have a general election your thoughts on that is that likely to happen do you think. well this is labor playing political games they would love a general election because the prime minister is mortally wounded the tory party is very very weak but nobody's really clear what labor stands for in terms of brics it germany at the top is an arch has always felt that the
10:22 am
cauldron plan is to get out of europe soon as possible unfortunately for him most of his employees have the opposite view and remain leaning people are beginning to feel even before we've left the effects of bricks on their pockets that could mean a very different conversation as people go to the door in the run up to an election labor would love to have elections the tories are running scared of it at the moment and don't forget the d u p the small irish party that holds control only holds control because the tories are weak and they need them if a stronger government unselected next time around or do you have no role so they may bluster and they may huff and puff but in the end they will be supporting the prime minister as long as it is expedient so to do we could talk a lot longer but we've run out of time there thanks for your insight this afternoon that was dr mark shanahan professor if you k. politics at reading university thank you. now after the hotly contested mid-term
10:23 am
elections in the us amid allegations of fraud the state of florida is holding a recount for the senate and governor races the republicans their lead over their democratic rivals but both results due for within the margin of triggering a recount. now reports the twenty eighteen midterm elections took place on november sixth it's ancient history the country has moved on well that of florida florida now where i'm president and recounts are underway the recounting is under way recount in broward county the how is it possible is this political conspiracy election recount crisis loreto is known as a swing the state in u.s. . then shal elections obama and trump both won florida as a key victory on their road to the white house and you can forget back in two thousand when a recount in florida kept americans biting their nails for months the margin of victory for george w. bush was only five hundred thirty seven votes george walker bush has won florida's
10:24 am
twenty five electoral votes. this should put him over the top recount controversy back then and recount controversy today the woman who's in charge of tallying votes in one particular county brenda snipes was caught destroying ballots too soon during the twenty sixteen reelection bid by democratic rep debbie wasserman schultz now debbie wasserman schultz's name is synonymous with corrupt in her party practices from back when she was d.n.c. chief and favored hillary clinton over burning. republicans are quick to remember that scandal now even if former florida governor jeb bush who appointed brenda snipes wants her out there is no question the broward county supervisor of elections brenda snipes failed to comply with florida law

multiple counts supervisors snipes should be removed from her office following the recounts however jeb bush's reputation isn't exactly clean either many of the cues to him of delivering florida for his brother back in two thousand by purging the voter rolls thank you very much. and god bless america so no matter who ends up winning the midterm elections in florida or the two thousand and twenty presidential vote one thing is pretty clear florida may have a very good reputation for weather but it's not so hot when it comes to counting votes kaleb moppet artsy new york donald trump meanwhile is already crying foul on twitter and says that an honest vote is no longer possible as large numbers of new ballots showed up no where the president is demanding that the election results be called in favor of the republican candidates rick scott to some tips. and that sure news for the south so you will be back with more stories for you in about thirty five.

to think. this is the kaiser report the show that ticks you deep into the enchanted forest. and then step two. stacy hey max i just want to start with the chart and this is the g.e. market cap going back to the eighty's this is the eighty's this is midnight this is up to two thousand spike and the beginning of the hollowing out of the entire u.s. economy in fact if you look at a lot of big multinational american companies you'll see that sort of pattern this is the beginning the share buybacks the plundering of the assets that had been
10:30 am
developed by the company for years this is the beginning of course financialization also happened really kicked off in the mid ninety's that released some shareholder value for a moment and then it's been plunging ever since so it looks like g.'s going to go the way of the dodo bird very soon you know when this bull market is over and that looks like is fast approaching that chart will be its epitaph that's all you need to know. general electric there's an old saying on wall street as general motors goes so goes america well that's not true so much anymore but with general electric it is true it's one of the generals general electric general motors and that is an example or a chart that shows what happens when a company is engaged in pure financial engineering and accounting fraud for the better.
