father and fake news heaven hallowed be thy name you can it's come you news be done on earth as on the internet men. now everybody knows how the french love their wine so when the us president did say been american wine is just as excellent as the french variety it did touch a nerve so we decided to wasp parisians to take our very own wine tasting challenge to find act which brand comes up. as donald trump thrashed out at france's president this week on twitter he also took aim at what he saw as unfair trade practices when it comes to wine tariffs way sis said the french who are very precious about that wine the donald said both countries made excellent wine but france made it very hard for the u.s. to sell its wines to the country and charges big tariffs so that got us thinking

who makes the better wine the us all fronts it's time for a battle of the new world wine this is the old and the judges it's the parisians. live on full sail roll who live on. to do a deuce resident little scene where real skill. don't you know. the whole thing coming. for coming on i would say our pool room. but the only big thing the big absolute most of it little more where they live is that the dizziness don't get very much.

and they are. a little bit bored. in the week oh oh. with looking at the groups that we're seeing so the verdict is in and it's pretty clear parisians preferred the wine from the us carol or her well maybe for once the donald has been vindicated as the wind from his country seems to have trumped that from france so on this occasion from paris we admit defeat but nevertheless we will always weighs a glass and say so and say charlotte even ski r.t. paris. now the british prime minister to resign may his defended her draft deal saying it will put the u.k. on the right course for a definitive divorce from the european union despite criticism over her latest plan she again urged members of parliament to unite and get behind it yes difficult and

sometimes uncomfortable decisions have had to be made i understand fully that there is some 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 or with the march twenty nine thousand breaks the deadline looming to resume a has come under increasing pressure to secure concessions from the e.u. but on thursday the prime minister suffered yet another bruising day in office after her latest have always planned triggered a wave of resignations and also talk of a no confidence vote she also had to face a three hour morning in parliament i am pace. we could choose to leave with no deal we could risk no breaks it is all we can shoot. i. wore or we can choose to

unite and support the best deal that can be negotiated this deal the withdrawal agreement and the outline political. represents a huge and damaging failure prime minister comes before us today trying to sell us a deal that is already dead in the water i'm almost tempted to ask if one of the members opposite will put their hands up as if they actually do support the prime minister and the senate proposal and on my right shoulder wolf road serves what we would leave the customs union. the next two says otherwise my right on friend said that she would maintain the integrity of the united kingdom the whole protocol so as all the was my right on the fro so that we would be armed to the jurisdiction of the european court of justice also one hundred seventy four says otherwise but one of the cambric said sticking points has been the so-called backstop which has

become a buzz word in the media boyko went to westminster to see if anybody knows what it actually makes us. they want something quick on this thread would have already course i have heard. chaos in westminster as the cradle of britain's parliamentary democracy trying to get to britain when something to do with breaks a. well this time the thing to do with drugs it is very serious and we know this because important minutes to do with greg that's quick bad schaub's including the one inch. knowledge of gregg's it was actually a display of confidence in himself.

that it is. not any more limited sleep with. looking. at these images that other critics say. you look at. the moment you leave the backstop is. basically good for you to go through given the e.u. a backstop. will she go home oh seven eight eight seven . there are five hundred pages of something to do with bags that were written for elected representatives are hearing over inside this called a masterpiece. politico what does it say. that. these guys no means yes of course tending to know all about it

in fact they're talking about what's happening in that we're not watching it it's fair to say that right now everyone's talking about it without having read it a little bit like the bible. or impedes. c.z. once the facts stop the bomb not at all it's already a once the mike stone. excuse me thing to do my job to ask the questions about. what he boy there were if you're not sure what the buck stop is you can head to r.t. dot com for a quick and easy explanation. now a terrorist group in syria is claiming to have united rival factions to fight the government in italy province this comes as the russian foreign ministry accuses so-called moderate rebels of helping extremists violate an internationally mediated buffer zone agreement. as more details. terry is the 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 hayat to harir al shabab probably the mightiest group it's the former nusra front otherwise it in syria should ring a bell. but . well a so-called spokesman for the armed wing of that same talk. has given an interview where there are many at the.

time of. 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 needed. well i wene and then we. also. learned of home. total this video also deserves a quick look to the right at the interviewer some t.v. stations used to love having be lobdell 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. coming after night that we've spent some. time and 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 send anyone 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 his tonight c.n.n. actually try to distance themselves from a bill karim and one of their more recent documentaries well november twenty. know problem getting access to interviewing a high profile figure of talk we're all shocked aka x. news. aka al qaeda in syria. into trying to riposte now which in this patrick henson does believe that by supporting moderate rebel crepes western powers or alternately helping terrorists. now you have effectively a consolidation of all the militants under one terrorist on bravo 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 a terrorist. concept officially according to h.g.'s l. nusra front in charge al-qaeda affiliate all under their control now so any and if they were moderate yesterday they're not moderate today syrian army. turkey and even the us everyone has to accept the fact that it lived as a terrorist occupied. region right now. still to come this sad members of anglo merkel's youth policy of being caught singing and nazi era sung in public and the reactions have been fast and furious well have a look at that just off the break. most

people think just stand out in this is this you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest raid in truth to stand out of the news business you just need as the right questions and demand the right answer. questions. i'm able to see yes this is at the center of america's descent into financial armageddon can you blame the fed for such things as the infrastructure collapse across america the ecological collapse of california wildfires and hurricanes across the nation. busted pipes in detroit leading to our stick poisoning and love yes yes you can because they give

money to the bad people. again now a new children's toy aimed at kids aged five and up that's going on sale in the u.s. a spark concern with critics saying it does bring the political divisions in america right into the kindergarten. looks at whether this time of heightened sensitivity as parents it's too easily triggered it. in these extraordinary top see turvy times one would hope that the lives of our kids could at least for now remain innocent and protected from the political craziness but think again this christmas

one conservative website would like your children to build the wall of the law you know. and not just any wall but one that will keep your country safe as a mob yes a mob of ten thousand migrants march across mexico until war to the border sounds like an ideal stocking filler or maybe not. as this politician will tell you you'll never too young for politics bron loves playing the kids build the wall then mr trump said you're right you're right about them. building blocks on your child's thing perhaps they'll have more fun putting hillary clinton behind bars with this play sets and while we're at it these are not

the only games being criticized as highly inappropriate now we all adore a six hour game of monopoly that usually ends in tears but now players may start crying before they even open the box the new millennial is edition of the game offers and i watch ring taste of reality the tug line says it all forget real estate you can't afford it anyway forget about passing go because you don't make money you just collect experiences like sleeping on your friend's couch or visiting a vacant b. stroke mr monopoly also got a make over taking a selfie with a participation medal the company insists that the game is aimed at adults something to chuckle about on christmas morning with uncle john but spoof or not the outrage has been relentless. so it turns out we could have called classic monopoly boom a monopoly all along has

a bunch of money you have no debt everything is affordable and you can go straight from starting out in life to a rich british state mogul with no formal education you are aware that student debt and the rising cost of rent is crippling the economy talking about it a yogic but then what are we to judge what's acceptable for kids to play with some point out that there is that old growth playing with only realistic female role models like barbie and racist not to mention sexist stereotypes like super mario and let's not even get started on fairytales. now a group of members of angela merkel's seeth party have sparked outrage in berlin after being caught singing a nazi year a song and shouting homophobic slurs the incident allegedly took place in a bar earlier this month on the anniversary of the infamous nine hundred thirty eight nazi pogrom against you use.

the controversial festival song is originally from nine hundred thirty two wins frequently sung by nazi soldiers during invasions including that of france and therefore the netherlands they remain part of germany's official military songbook until last year around fifteen youth party members were caught singing the song throwing condemnation from politicians to sing popular very marked song on the eightieth anniversary of the november programs is stunning i am ashamed of the j. ews brunches to sing a very marked song that was sung during the invasion of belgium luxembourg and france is not acceptable this is not my j u. well the local chapter of the cedar wing party has issued an apology for the disturbances caused by its members at the bar although it dismissed any wrongdoing describing the nazi era chuen as a german folk and hiking song but we spoke to

a member of germany's left party he says the incident only adds more shame to one of the country's darkest chapters. germany i'm disgusted by the way here. discredited everything that people did after the who are brave that english nasa's soldiers marching into our unless i see you radicalized it is always that more right wing and right wing extremists. and it was always balanced by liberal are liberal part of the youth wing and if you look at the see you in general it's not an isolated incident at all it's mallie wholly pronounced an r.c. ideology major it is. a minute of silence to commemorate the people that were violated by the us it's

a day i shave and i will be. the see you now growth tennis is shaping shall i ask that all you keisha political education of the last eighty years and how you've been in. those reading us. now a split between the ukrainian and russian orthodox churches could sing become official my colleague neil harvey discussed the situation with a correspondent daniel hawkins. 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 being a 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 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 un 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 new way of development development of ukraine so if this is going to happen it's not 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 that independence as well this is very much angered the moscow patriarch the russian orthodox church doesn't accept these decisions and will not follow them schism is schism and it's lee. other leaders of the schism and the church that accepted the schism excluded itself from the economical field the decision has been made to rupture food communion with the constantinople patriarchate we cannot be in communication with this church which is in schism what about the everyday church goers with a it any way be affected or 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 in the bigger picture here

tensions have been rising since about twenty forty in 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 some more confusion and division in a country already deeply divided. and that is how things looking say far today here on r.t. international we're back again with more for you at the top of the. lawmakers
