work and pensions secretary estimates debate raged in the house of commons over the course the country should take. we could choose to leave with no deal we could risk no breaks it is all we can to wait. for or we can choose to unite and support the best deal that can be negotiated this deal the withdrawal agreement and the outline political career a should represent 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 order food fruit so good we would leave the customs union.

the next two says of a walk to my right over the frozen so that she would move the integrity of the united kingdom the whole procedure called so as otherwise 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 see her brecht's a deal but also essentially 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 high profile cabinet ministers and junior ministers heading towards the door in defiance of may's approach towards bracks it's 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 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 split party and a split nation and indeed all of this comes following theresa may yesterday holding an entire five hour session with her cabinet ministers trying to push through and convince them that her draft directive 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 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. professor of u.k. politics or reading university dr mark shanahan believes that reason i can't deliver briggs it the way she promised two years ago. 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 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 that the best chance she has of surviving is that there won't be more than one hundred fifty eight people voting against her if this vote of 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 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. newly declassified documents reveal the cia sought to experiment with a so-called troops as part of a program called project medication this involved drugging prisoners who hadn't succumbed to other enhanced interrogation techniques project medication was previously undisclosed element of this program in which in addition to the physical

and psychological torture that the cia was engaged in several see a dark. 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 the american civil liberties union fourteen call for two years to obtain those documents and they gave the lowdown on the cia's extraordinary rendition program with details is my guess the if. 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 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 hours these progressed from attention flaps and walling to confinement in both large about five hours and small about one hour book says and finally to the waterboard 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 here having slapped beaten confined and water boarded these people they were getting results so they opted for something new something like a truth serum problem was problem number three seriously illegal there were at least two legal obstacles approved mission because medical

experimentation on prisoners and a ban on interrogation or use of my. 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 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 private kept sniffing around digging up details and publicizing everything over the government the cia they resisted see for example how the document that revealed all of these 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.

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 a high level of top level civilian. plus we also military people involved in creating developing and implementing seems to me a shift in that maybe people at cia and in the federal government in the security

organs 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 experiment in medically with these people it is the equivalent of torture it is just is the humanizing. world anti-doping agency why there is set to visit a laboratory in moscow later this month this is part of russia's effort to rebuild its reputation in the wake of the doping scandal that rocked world sport water made the announcement of the meeting in azerbaijan auntie's the exorcist he said this report from the capital back. i know from the meeting that i wonder delegation would visit russia to meet this year's. 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 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 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 on the i'm 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 those dish. being asian she is compliant 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 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 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 us contributes every year to what is 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'd open agency following the summit at the white house a few weeks ago i think it would be easier to she. to me she. indicated that it was pretty silly. 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 into r.t. to get the details on that day what happens in moscow. has been sentenced for cutting off his wife's hands who need the gruesome details after the break.

what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to be. considered like to be close as you like them before three of them or can't be good . i'm interested always in the waters of our. first sip. from. a man who cut off his wife's hands in a premeditated attack and then gloated about this and sentenced to fourteen years

in a high security jail in russia auntie's medina cult cinema as the appalling story. from this picture you think margaret and maitreya lived in blissful happiness they've been together for five years and even had two young sons but behind the smiles another story some of their friends say that they were in fact colostrum divorce margarita often complained that her husband had episodes of uncontrolled chalices he was enraged that i was getting my nails done he'd think i was cheating on him if my bra in my pants matched he emptied out all my shampoos and creams and left empty choose in their place he was angry that i was doing well at work apparently he even checked her whole phone messages i woke her up during the night and asked who it was she said to drive in from work but i didn't believe her i was on edge his suspicions fueled his anger so he forced her into the car drove her

out into a forest threatened her and demanded she had me to cheating on him that time he let her go she fled to the police but was told that there were not enough grounds to open a case against him her pleas for help fell on deaf ears and and with her husband's final brutal attack in december last year. volunteered to help i wanted to put my bag in the book but he said there was no space who would have thought that it was taken by an axe and bandages he played his part like a real actor silently he closed the door and drove off not to work but to the forest.

as we drove to the hospital he shouted what an adrenaline rush worst of all i was still conscious apparently my body give this signal to keep holding on microsurgery lost it for nearly nine hours the doctors managed to sew back one hand but the other was so badly damaged in the brutal attack during which margarito remained conscious that it was impossible to save this case sent shock waves across the country and attracted so much needed attention to the problem of domestic violence mitri was sentenced to fourteen years in prison while the officer who refused to open a case against him when margarita first went to the police is under investigation

for dereliction of duty. after the hotly contested midterm elections in the united states allegations of fraud the state of florida is holding a recount for the senate and governor races the republicans over the democrat rivals but both results for within the margin of triggering a recount caleb maupin reports. the twenty eight thousand midterm elections took place on november sixth it's ancient history the country has moved on well not in florida florida now where i'm president and recounts are underway the recounting is under way recount in broward county to how is it possible is this political conspiracy in election recount crisis lorida is known as a swing state in u.s. presidential 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 the recounts 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 twenty five a mark for all 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 caleb moppet artsy new york. times already crying foul on twitter and says enormous vote is no longer possible as large numbers of new ballots showed up out of nowhere president's demanding the election results because in favor of republican candidates rick scott. and i thought i count correctly that brings us to

the end of this news hour do join me in about thirty five minutes time for the lead stop place. dollars. dollars. dollars. dollar dollar here's what i believe. we got carol we here we care the music with us. we are here we were dragged here. by you're going to get rid of those who are not go away you will not die quite. real the hard work we do is the true.

banks guys are fine it will survive. develop. close to the central plank support diet plan is going to call them right they stopped.

make this manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling class is protect themselves. with the fines. be the one percent. see. the real. greetings and salutation. seventeen years later the bombs are still dropping on

afghanistan hawk watchers and in record numbers yes according to data from the us air forces central command manned and unmanned aircraft between january and september of this year of drop some five thousand two hundred thirteen various types of bombs on the country this sets a new record for most bombs ever dropped on afghanistan in one year's time and the year isn't even over yet you originally record was set back in two thousand and ten the five thousand one hundred one naturally this record breaking year has of course led to a massive amount of civilian casualties according to the united nations from first to january to september thirtieth twenty eighteen you now documented eight thousand and fifty civilian casualties two thousand and seven hundred deaths and five thousand two hundred injured reflecting the same extreme levels of harm to civilians as was during the same period. thousand and seventeen civilian deaths

increased by five percent while the number of civilians injured decreased by three percent. so i guess if you're looking at the bright side of things one could be excited that we're injuring less people this year in afghanistan and all that chaos and blood and pain is being rained down on the poor people living there the man who started the war over in afghanistan george w. bush was celebrated this past bedrooms day with a brand new philadelphia eagles jersey and a shiny new medal yes and one has to be a front runner for greatest moment of hypocrisy in the twenty first century wu himself was presented with the national constitution center liberty medal for his tremendous work with us about turns by former vice president joe biden marking the first time the constitution liberty and george w. bush ever actually occupy the same time and space seriously my friends we just awarded a medal of liberty to

a man with more soldiers and civilians blood on his hands than arguably any other world leader in the past twenty to thirty years save maybe as property or dick cheney yes we are now living in that world which is why we must always be watching the hawks. it's. easy to see. what they like that i got. to. tell them what is the watchdog role the truth and. moving others another year another bomb drop and george bush gets a metal tab that's pretty.
