oh. god. i'm. honoring the one hundredth anniversary of the end of the first world war french president. claimed he preaches and is the exact opposite of nationalism this is widely seen as a criticism of donald trump after all trying to calls himself a nationalist national. british prime minister to reason may be right that plan is key ministers quits a cabinet. piece to consider the national interest and gets that backing the

withdrawal agreement represents a huge and damaging the deal that is already dead in the water. the largest terrorist faction in syria claims to have joined forces with so-called moderate rebels suffice the government in a province. look into the horrific case of a russian man who cut off his wife pounds and has been sentenced to fourteen years in prison. you're watching r t international good to have you with us this hour. the british prime minister to resign may standing by have brakes it plan despite a rebellion from her own party she has parliament to get behind her trough deal with the. yes difficult and sometimes uncomfortable decisions have had to be

made i understand fully that the reason who are unhappy with those compromises but this deal delivers what people voted for and it is in the national interest and we can only secure it if we unite behind the agreement reached in cabinet yesterday her words come after a bruising day of cabinet resignations letters of no confidence and a three hour morning in parliament. 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 own 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 frozen so that we would leave the customs union. the next two says of a walk to my right over wolf road so that she would move the interpreter of the united kingdom the whole protocol so as otherwise my road on the roof road 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'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 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 in 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 of 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 afloat ship. a terrorist group in syria is claiming to have united rival factions to fight the government an adlib province this comes as the russian foreign ministry cuse is so-called moderate rebels of helping stream it's violate an internationally mediated buffer zone agreements. or reports. syria's province is still an unbelievably complicated melting pot of anti assad militias from those known as syria's moderate rebels to internationally recognized

terrorists like. al shabab probably the mightiest group it's the former nusra front otherwise al qaeda in syria should ring a bell. to them. well a so-called spokesman for the armed wing of that same tough. has given an interview where there are many. who feels like. the man didn't come up with any kind of full list of who's involved but kept repeating everyone in the free lands that's how he refers to areas not controlled

by damascus question if we are to believe the guy have the lines between terrorists and moderates been blurred completely an adlib technically there's a ceasefire between the government and the rebels and a buffer zone in the province right now it was brokered by turkey and russia and eventually backed by france and germany the buffer zone is meant to be free of any terrorists but if it is the terrorists that are now taking control of a joint command center for everyone how does the cease fire deal make sense anyway at least you're going to zation the programs guest works and fights for doesn't seem to have any intention of laying their guns down and show no one would you who he said have been. well i wene and then we. have a. total

this video also deserves a quick look to the right at the interviewer some t.v. stations used to love having kareem on air people executed it's as simple as that what can i do here and see a blend in the crowd i don't think so am i going to turn my so over to the regime forces absolutely not i'm out to see some of them. i'm. not going to spend some. time sometimes you will hear someone say that they are part of al-qaeda but what is their real affiliation to al qaeda other than some romantic notion to be honest with you he was one of those who were one sending out last messages from besieged aleppo before death from assad's bombs here in besieged aleppo. we may not be able to see any more messages as regime forces push closer this might be close to if not be a last communication but his reports have since kept coming and he was even accused

of links to al qaida something has denied c.n.n. actually try to distance themselves from a door karim and one of their more recent documentaries well november twenty. know problem getting access to interviewing a high profile figure of tough we're all shot aka x. nuestra aka al qaeda in syria. journalist patrick having sent believes that by supporting moderate rebel groups western powers effectively helping terrorists now you have effectively a consolidation of all the militants under one terrorist umbrella effectively so if the west is going to intervene diplomatically if the us is going to want to stop syria from retaking its own territory and its allies who are helping them do that then effectively they're taking the side of of

a terrorist. concept officially according to h.t.s. al nusra front in charge al-qaeda affiliate all under their control now so any money and if they were moderate yesterday they're not moderate today syrian army russia turkey and even the u.s. everyone has to accept the fact that it is a terrorist occupied. region right now and should deal with it accordingly. i get the scenes or upsets in the sherline can parliament as a brawl broke out between will make his. point was the tempus cool day the following discussions over here should leave the country

caroline cause pain and political deadlock since last month when his president abruptly sucks the prime minister and suspended parliament the critics punted the made illegal and unconstitutional oh who the russian man has been jailed for fourteen years for a brutal assault on his wife that story and more coming up. us the benefit of tremendously economically through the cost of it we'll do the world by coming out about effectively giving up the power to impose structural adjustment to live with all countries over the eighty's and i think it's up from fundamentally doesn't understand how these are these are useful tools of us imperialism of the facts right so it's not clear to me what is right is i mean it's true that these

institutions are deeply unfair thirds of the u.s. they're on the birds here to the majority world to the global south and that's really the reason why these reforms are. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express an interest. or something. that you'd like to be close it's like helpful for you the more people are. interested always at the water's edge. there should be a. welcome back to. a man who cut off his wife's hands in

a premeditated attack and gloated about it he's been sentenced to fourteen is in the high security jail in russia he's made in a question of picks up the appalling story. from this picture you'd 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 slate and mother's 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 phone messages i woke 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 he said there was no space port of 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

forced. 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 people around 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 to me treat 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. the splits between the ukrainian and russian orthodox churches could soon become official my colleague neil harvey discussed the situation with our correspondent daniel holkins. well religious scandals around churches in ukraine to many might seem irrelevant say historic theological debate but actually carries a lot more meaning to orthodox believers need to look at the basics first the eastern orthodox church is made up of fifteen different churches each of which one has autonomy in religious language that is called autocephaly meaning church has its own self governance independence and jurisdiction now the russian orthodox church for centuries has had rule over the key of orthodox church that's been the case since about the seventeenth century it's the only officially recognized congregation of all of the doxy in ukraine on the other hand though there have been

political and religious factions in the country which a very long time pushed for a independent ukraine unorthodox to be established indeed the president of ukraine petro poroshenko has been a supporter of this he's implied that the creation of this church is just as important to ukraine's independence and rebirth as joining the e.u. or nato autocephaly is the most important event from the same serious as our aspiration to join the u.n. nato the association agreement a visa free regime with the e.u. withdrawal from the c.i.s. rejection of the deceptive treaty and friendship with russia etc all this is the basis of our all my way of development development of ukraine so this is going to happen it's going to come easily it's quite a complicated situation in ukraine is that yes there's more than one orthodox church in ukraine apart from the main one recognized officially as part of the moscow patriarchate there are also two other churches now they broke away in the

early ninety's when ukraine got its independence from the u.s.s.r. this is the key of patriarchates and the ukrainian autocephalous church these claim independence but they have never been recognized officially as official corrugations that's until very recently when the patriarch of constantinople made moves to give them that autonomy independence as well this is very much anger. the moscow patriarch the process of granting autocephaly is artificial imposed from outside does not reflect internal ecclesiastical necessity will not bring real church unity will deepen division and intensify conflicts among the people of ukraine under these conditions the participation of the pesky pait clergy and laity of the you see in these process is is considered impossible and how is the russian orthodox church reacted well this is triggered a total breakdown in relations the moscow patriarchate has rejected this decision they've stated that they have had all thought over the key of corrugation since the

seventeenth century and they've even called the schism triggered a schism with constantinople buying their followers from attending any ceremonies any communions with this church who they have now officially split with the russian orthodox church does not accept these decisions and will not follow them schism is give them and its leaders are the leaders of the schism and the church that accepted the schism excluded itself from the canonical field of decision has been made to drop to full communion with the constantinople patriarchate we cannot be in communication with this church which is in schism what about the everyday church goers were they in any way be affected or i think it's going to cause a lot of confusion and division i mean this is seen as a wider context as part of that conflict between russia and ukraine east and west those debates over independence and cultural heritage one priest father mike tyson who's worked in west virginia for fifteen years has even switched churches in the wake of the schism he was he's left his patriarch of constantinople parish switching to a russian church he says this is supporting being in solidarity with the ukrainian

orthodox church and now in the bigger picture here tensions have been rising since about twenty fourteen there have been dozens of attacks since then by ukrainian nationalists on orthodox churches aligned with moscow they view them as enemies of ukraine as effectively tools of the kremlin in terms of. church property there may be conflicts as well the moscow aligned church owns around twelve thousand parishes in ukraine those two other ukrainian churches which may soon unite control about half that number so in terms of ownership of churches in terms of income revenue in terms of where followers are going to go and practice their faith this is an issue that's not going to go away and is likely to certainly cause more confusion and division in a country already deeply divided church history professor alexander the balkan says ukraine's moves will only make the country's divisions with operator worth all of you will never allow of paternity eight to exist whatever this new church will be

the world will not be it q but turkey and i still have my doubts that it will be full of fully independent polluter several of us very soon it will be discrimination of those believers that would want to stay with the canonical church will increase of course they will try to take their property away from them i mean the church property it will increase also there all the tensions in the society it will it will increase all the divisions of the society it will increase all the disagreements and this is where it will harm your prey. a parliamentary committee in south africa has recommended a constitutional change to allow private land to be seized when it's in the national interest this follows a long running call for the fourth handover of white in farmlands to black farm as opposition groups say the legal change would be the wrong solution. the vote on

expropriation without compensation allows government the perfect cover to avoid having to explain their rank failure over the past two decades to take land reform seriously the opposition does not oppose land reform we oppose the amendment of the constitution the land issue is a delicate and sensitive one it is indeed a social justice imperative which all south africans must rally around if the legal changes passed white farmers could lose their lands and receive no compensation supporters say it would create new jobs and reduce longstanding racial inequality more than two decades after the fall of the apartheid system in south africa most farmland are still owned by the whites minority who make up just nine percent of the population they currently are in around seventy two percent of farmland where it's just four percent is privately owned by black farmers we heard from both sides of the debate. we need in south africa

a huge growth proceeds we need investments and we need stuff like this that this economy can grow and now they came out of this type of announcement and we've got great concern that now will anybody invest in the country if the government run to put in the constitution that i'm allowed to take their assets work out by paying for that the broader me said they make this a video motional process in the upcoming election for for the that cup coming election so that they can position themselves for the population because the ancient this stage are not very popular anymore now they tried to gain votes by means of one to describe both announcements they shot a six inch. and it's fiction if you really want this type of inequality so it's also. a basis as to why i don't think it's all going to the exclusion just an explosion of mass. meeting which is what constitutes

a lot of that sort of problem. maybe. management but also yes that's why you know silly story is silly for. someone. what difference it might cause you to shoot we just because it's not just. an up to date with the latest cable news small stories at the top of the hour. suitable to sleep for. my little for sunday and this is their. roles going to say of course a business with a must do so it looks. this is an english. lot

lancaster we're seeking to explain why the greatest unable to zoster and british history has been barely remembered i'm hoping to make a contribution to the tourists that imbalance of history alex told the story of the lancaster from santa zachary and brittany where the great ship was lost on june seventeenth one nine hundred forty. captain shoppin commander flown past received an order from the admiral it told them to load as many men as possible without the guard to the limits laid down by modern time long. by fear quote that after doing more than six thousand people exhausted soul just confused refugees more tried it on to the ship more than three times as established capacity limit at that point captain sharp made a fateful decision to stay at anchor and not to make a dash for poor he was understandably frightened the destroyer escort his ship would be easy prey to your books in the english channel. and this week's

show we feature the quest for a member under the voices of the survivors and the relatives of those who perish seek to explain why so many have battled against officialdom to have the sacrifice of their loved ones probably recognized by history alex takes up our story i decided to kill him and outspread and greater london. and never to believe as each month passes that a few. of the like last year survivors alive to give witness to what actually happened on that fateful day of june the seventeenth one thousand four even since we started filming we have lost ninety seven year old reds brought in a stalwart of lancaster commemorations over the years and therefore today i'm privileged to be here not split to interview like last year survivor royal engineer basically one hundred one years young and can't come. in france and i'm going to not after me. walk.
