but here moscow time this sunday in the headlines in the wheat maize ministerial meltdown the british prime minister battle to save her breakfast and plan under a government in a week of resignations recriminations and second referendum called. alaskan peace to consider the national interest and give it their backing their withdrawal agreement represents a huge and damaging failure deal that is already dead in the water. classified documents reveal that the cia experimented with the so-called truth serum on prisoners who resisted other enhanced interrogation techniques plus.

israeli warplanes unleashed massive air strikes on gaza in the week in response to hundreds of missiles being fired from the on clay. fellow very good early evening for me kevin irwin here in moscow to you thanks for watching our international marans of the big stories of the last seven days first of what a tense week it was for the british prime minister to resign may as she fought to weather a break said storm marked by those cabinet resignations and growing calls for a vote of no confidence the party well done happened after she unveiled her e.u. divorce draft plans on wednesday with a stark ultimatum. the choice before us is clear this deal all leave with no deal all the or no bricks it at all then within hours of revealing her draft rex it

planned the capital to stand simply to try to secure its full backing to members abruptly quit including the bricks it secretary himself but that was just the start in total seven members of to read a maze government resigned she also had to face a three hour mauling by m.p.'s to. does the prime minister's still intend to put a false choice to parliament between her a botched jail or no jail and the labor party have only one intention that is to frustrate. you or not delivering the brakes people voted for and today you will lose the support of many conservative m.p. i'm merely owns of voters across the country we can choose to leave with no deal we can risk no breaks it all or we can. i. or we can

choose to unite and support the best deal that can be negotiated this deal prime minister comes before us today trying to sell us a deal that is already dead in the water the reason why the people of this country are safe and up he's because they've been made so many promises none of which have been delivered on because they cohen's be delivered tomorrow 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 in the national interest and we can only secure it if we unite behind the agreement reached in cabinet yesterday it's been a series of cabinet resignation and government minister resignations and parliamentary of private secretary resignations even the vice chairman of the conservative party itself has resigned saw it's very hard to see how

someone who is dug in behind grex a deal which seems to be almost friendless they say that failure is an orphan and success has a thousand parents well this breaks a deal. looked very much like an orphan to me today she's come up with this withdrawal agreement that nobody wants it doesn't satisfy the reminders who don't want to leave anyway and it doesn't satisfy the leavers because we don't really leave so no one's going to be a bit happy about this i don't believe she can get it through parliament and of course it 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 are seen on twitter people tearing up their cards and taking photographs so this deal doesn't actually satisfy anybody so endless trouble again. parliament this week

jury maze most strip. of look at events going on. there was nothing quite. really because i have. chaos in westminster as the cradle of britain's parliamentary democracy trying to get to grips with something to do with. now this time the thing to do with it is very serious and we know this because important to do with it quick very short including someone in charge of gregg's that want to actually has confidence in him. i.

know anyone that would. be looking. to get a. lot of. noise. no the backstop is. basically we could. go given the e.u. our backstop. seven eight eight seven . there are five hundred pages of something to do with bags that were written for elected representatives are hearing inside this call to please. the letter what is it that. these guys them easy of course tend to know all about it in fact

they're talking about what's happening 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 flow i'm not sure it's all right. once the mike stone. excuse me what's will deny that. you kill me refusing to do my job to ask the questions if you don't. go fully in the case you want to quit refreshing water what the backstop is is to prevent a border between the republican nor the you read much more about it on our site. documents have revealed a cia program to develop a so-called truth serum would involve drugging prisoners who are able to withstand other 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 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 in the week the most senior correspondent for us more on the cia interrogation program and how it evolved. it wasn't an isolated case or to an accident or oversight was government sanctioned systematic ordered 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 wool into confinement in both large about five hours and small about one hour book says and finally to the waterboard a.z. seems 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 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 or 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 tortures according to the torturers themselves the doctors others who were present were horrendous to watch the whole. experienced 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 torturers were torturing

a prisoner for example by bach 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 other problems here journalists activists and juice they kept prime kept sniffing around digging up details and publicize and have a day 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 not a lot of information in it it's almost like two fingers to the press sometimes these court battles took years but they got it 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 don't think it stuff but now. it seems the bromance between donald trump and a man or mccraw is hitting the skids somewhat after the u.s. president lashed out this french counterpart of the week he did on twitter on tuesday that of the role could meeting in paris during commemorations marking the centenary of the first world war armistice trump turn the microphone over his intentions to create a europe wide army. but it was germany in world wars one and two how did that work out for france. they were starting to learn german in paris before the u.s.

came along pay for nato or not. france makes it very hard for the us to sell its wines into france and charges big tariffs not fair must change the problem is that emanuel suffers from a very low approval rating in france twenty six percent and an unemployment rate of almost ten percent. make france great again. one potential political we need a europe you can defend it so long moreover without depending only on the us you know we did exhibits greater sovereignty. and we are. losing you. briefly.

we have seen as they could barely raise a glass as well as taunting the french president on twitter donald trump also threatened the wind war he claimed america's wines are just as good as in bordeaux and the rest for instance that left a nasty sour taste for many in france you put the tipples literally to the test in paris. and the roads will soon roll live on. t.v. to reduce the false a real skill. don't you know. it is awful to. think of it. i would say our pool room. we would. certainly be. absolute most of it we have more where the you just don't live very

much. and then he. said of all the people. in the only girl. in the city that sit with. the verdict is in a hundred is pushing clear parisians preferred the wine from the us all her well maybe for once the dawn world 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 gloss and say so and say. r.t. paris. over the weekend make it more the stories that we brought to from the week just on coming up after the break an exchange of fire between israel and militants in gaza hundreds of strikes from both sides really flared off there again and

ukraine's far right parties some of which children are taught to kill we will tell you more when we come back. you know world big partisan. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle

for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. didn't top this is the phrase that has become a mantra for many people as more and more people get involved in the world around them how is the story we tell ourselves about ourselves changing. what she was this week and so more of a recap of the stories of the week on monday israeli fighter jets struck palestinian targets after militants in gaza launched rockets and mortar shells it appears to be the most intense escalation of hostilities in the region since twenty fourteen at least seven palestinians and one israeli were killed many more wounded . oh laura.

i. i. was. at all this the israeli defense minister of a deliberate man quit a wednesday in protest of the gaza ceasefire which he described as a capitulation to tara the un security council held an emergency meeting on the conflict the day before in which the israeli representative of the palestinian observer you guessed it very much at loggerheads. security council must only condemn hamas we condemn in the strongest possible terms this aggression by israel there is no such a thing both sides. but that taxon fires result of this blockade

which is immoral and illegal and it is in the humane and we will continue to take any measure the new measures necessary to protect our people this round of violence was created as a result of a botched. bizarrely military operation in the gaza strip it's very interesting for me to hear the israeli ambassador speak about the gaza as collation all of the victims except one of this round of escalation where palestinian all of the victims were inside gaza and not outside of the gaza strip israel bombed a t.v. station it bombed residential buildings it leveled them to the ground those are acts that are acts of terror because they did terrorize two million palestinians the latest round of escalation started because of a botched israeli undercover operation three kilometers deep inside

gaza that's how the escalation started with the israeli forces killing seven palestinians. ukraine's far right freedom parties organized to children some account polluters some more looks like a boot camp journalists from the associated press news agency visited the site where youngsters live under strict rules and learn how to be combat ready a sleeper trend has been finding out. now that's what i call a legit summer camp. that. both of you will know about early morning wakeup calls. oh yes right by our. chance that kids will remember for the rest of their lives. was catching march. welcome to the temper of will

summer camp and western ukraine it's pretty much a boot camp hidden in the forest the people who set it up are from the national socialist svoboda or freedom party so who can get enrolled officially it's for teens but a.p. journalists who went there say they saw children as young as eight here they're being taught how to kill good just what is good you know they can still live that sealants new coal then that insists it but it just in the us is doing he should post pickle fun things when one of manila's moments he with is mostly. but not only do they get to learn how to take down those who adults are calling russian invaders the kids are also taught to stand up to what the instructors see as degrading trends in the west see that it. just is.

you should make use of the. welcome you will feel. so out of the. west that was. what may seem as an ugly display of far right shaw the brainwashing appears to get full support from the local administration well earlier this year kiev splashed some of its bug. on youth projects the goal is to prop up what they call national patriotic education some of these projects are run by the stream far right. even the nato backed atlantic council think tank tried to raise international wariness with this article and indeed we didn't write that amnesty international's pointing out the issues more than just critical ukraine is sinking

into a kill sort of uncontrolled violence posed by radical groups and the total impunity practically no one in the country can feel safe under these conditions and if you're wondering if any of this could actually spill beyond ukraine well just lately and f.b.i. agents criminal complaint said ukrainian neo nazis were believed to have trained white supremacists in america just wait till some of these youngsters grow up. a bit of context as a footnote to this in january ukraine passed a law recognizing russia as an aggressive state last week the ukrainian vice prime minister said his country was trying to build a strong democracy where he went on to say the kremlin supports populist nationalist movements mcdonnell's been monitoring the coverage of the ukraine conflict since it up to four years ago he got his thoughts on it and he believes

that may be a turning point been reached in the news. i'm just shocked that it's finally been reported in the west the main associated press have gone in there obviously a syndication agency so obviously that you know their copy then has to be reported in other mediums i'm pleasantly surprised that you know outfits like the washington post notably have covered it although some of the usual suspects you know the guardian and outlets i doubt if ignored the story once again but that's not surprising. but it's good that for the first time you know many readers in western countries are finally learning something about what's really going on in western ukraine particular with these nationalist groups the way things work in the west is that you need pressure groups you know think tanks to kind of get on these bandwagons and kind of you know almost force the agenda and what's very interesting is here we've got children you know schoolchildren minors being trained to hate being trained to kill being trained to fight and where is amnesty international where is human rights watch i mean they're not interested i mean where is the american embassy what it's supposed moral leadership you know lashing out against

this where the british embassy. picked an occasion for its second h.q. you know after growing its regional home in seattle it's now setting up shop over lease coast with the base split between new york unarmed into the state of virginia the competition is tough with several cities vying to be amazon's new home but not everyone is keen to see the picture up in the city's caleb maupin reports a competition of sorts began with cities across the country offering tax incentives and making cringing videos in the hopes of luring them in how the proud amazon customer. amazon. amazon your amazon your smart sexy city that thinks outside the box. please join us. where should amazon locate h q two in fiscal well in the plot twist worthy of a bad television show amazon picks two big winners not just one the new offices will be in arlington virginia just across the river from washington d.c.

and the new york city borough of queens now at this point jeff bezos the owner of amazon is presenting himself as your friendly neighborhood billionaire the team did a great job selecting the summits and we look forward to becoming in the even bigger parts of these communities but not all new yorkers are exactly thrilled many are concerned the already high cost of living will increase and others were. three that small businesses will suffer the newly elected democratic socialist congresswoman alexandria cacio cortez is ready for battle amazon is a billion dollar company the idea that it will receive hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks and it's a time when i was subways crumbling and all communities need more investment not less is extremely concerning to residents here we decided to talk with some locals and see how they feel about amazon setting up shop i'm not happy about this i think i've read a lot of articles saying it's not great super excited about amazon coming here and

i think there are other cities that can use the extra jobs more and if they're moving to new work they do they're the ones that do the jobs i'm not sure what effect it would have on small businesses but i'm sure they'll try to print up the extra burden everything's already closed without them so it will be a lot harder let's not forget that new york state governor andrew cuomo promised to legally change his name if it would convince amazon to move in i'll change my name to amazon poor more in a time when talk of the low wages income inequality in money and politics is everywhere nothing is more reassuring to a frustrated public than seeing their elected officials grovel and beg before huge multinational corporations. r.t. new york we'll keep you posted of a potential name change that less is not short of some of the big stories is covered by us international proud to peer over the last seven days you know most of the sunday is kevin though in saying thank you for watching us and enjoy what's

left of that week.

the worst drug disaster in history would spread through more than forty six countries and produce up to twenty thousand badly deformed babies worldwide. but historians today single out one birth in one nine hundred sixty one that changed the course of history in hamburg germany linda shoulder hill and age twenty three gave birth to her first child her husband wasn't with her at the time and he was quiet. and then lay back and was relaxed and some i mean somebody whispered into my ear is your husband all right and i was

quite awake and i said. what what's got what has happened to my baby is anything vall you know she said just. let's say. without any emotion oh yeah he's just cut short arms and i like a child would have asked possibly i said and take anymore and. scott grow this will be like it is now. and then i felt like i was beaten to death. a doctor gave the first time mother some friendly advice just get another child. like forget about him you know. i'm a way to get to pot shortly afterwards linda's husband arrived and gave her some bad news he'd been keeping from.
