subscribed to roughly. just twelve euros fifty per month for. the week's biggest stories from. may's a ministerial meltdown the british prime minister battles to save her brakes and plan and her own government in a week of resignations recriminations and second referendum calls for last game piece to consider the national interest and give it to them for the withdrawal agreement represents a huge and damaging the deal that is already dead in the water. classified documents reveal that the cia experimented with a so-called truth serum prisoners who had resisted other in hans interrogation

techniques also ahead. israeli warplanes unleashed massive airstrikes on gaza in response to hundreds of missiles being fired from the old place. you're watching the weekly here on altie international with me to do this is our roundup of the top stories in the last seven days and the latest up to date news welcome to the program. it was a tense week for british prime minister theresa may as she fought to weather a brags that storm marked by cabinet resignations and growing calls for a vote of no confidence the party meltdown 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 all no bricks it. within hours of revealing her draft brags it plan to cabinet a stance of lead to secure its full backing to members abruptly quit including the briggs's secretary but that was just the start in total seven members of teresa mayes government resigned she also had to face a three hour morning by m.p.'s. does the prime minister's still intend to put a false choice to parliament between her botched jail or no jail day and the labor party have only one intention that is to frustrate the trade. you are not delivering the break so people voted for and today you will lose the support of many conservative m.p. i'm only owns of voters across the country we can choose to leave with no deal we can risk no bricks it at all or we can wait i was.

born 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 so fed up he's because they've been made so many promises none of which have been delivered on because they koans be delivered to them 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 it's been a series of cabinet resignation with government minister resignations parliamentary 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 great deal which seems to be almost friendless this. failure is an orphan and success has a thousand parents world this deal look very much like an orphan to me today she's come up with this withdrawal agreement and nobody wants it doesn't satisfy the remain as you 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 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 and in and around parliament this week during

may's breaks it turmoil and art is online in case you missed it takes an alternative look at events at westminster. they want something quick on the credit 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 great sense. now this time the thing to do with it is very serious and we know this because important to do with great then. which they should all be including someone in charge of their exit want to attack me a display of confidence in himself. that

it didn't. look to anyone even when they sleep with me. looking. at these images that lehman brothers brings a world. view but at. the moment looking at the backstop is. basically we could do you know we've given the e.u. a backstop. to go home oh seven eight eight seven. there are five hundred pages of something to do with brags that that person elected representatives are all hearing inside this called a mosque to be. political isn't it strange. 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 with a little bit like the bible. more in peace. susie what's the back story on the bomb no sholto zone or a waltz the mike stone. excuse me what's an old niland you do with a bunch of what is it you don't we usually do my job toss the questions and you don't leave. and just in case you're still wondering what the box. is is to prevent a hog border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland you can read more about that on r.t. dot com. now nearly de cost if i documents have revealed a cia program to develop

a so-called truth serum it involved drugging prisoners who were 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 cia 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. more on the interrogation program and how it evolved. it wasn't an isolated case or to an accident or oversight was government sanctioned systematic or that they 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 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 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 doctor as role was here when

the cia torturers 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 and juice they kept prime 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 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 that all the good stuff oh no i. it seems the bromance between donald trump and the manual micron is on the rocks off to the u.s. president last time to this french counterpart on twitter on chase day they had a no good meeting in paris during commemorations marking the centenary of the first world war honestest trump turned on micron his intentions to create a europe wide army. but it was germany and world was 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. makes it very hard to send its winds into france and charges big tariffs not the fact that must change but the problem is that emanuel suffers from a very low approval rating it's twenty six percent and i'm employment rate of almost ten percent. make france great to get. political but we need to use who can defend itself a little more room without depending only on the us you know we did exhibits greater suffering. and you feel. free to do.

as well as taunting the french president on twitter i'm also threatened a wine war he claimed america's once had just as good as any bordeaux bergen deal though that left a sour taste for many in france so we. put the tipples to the test of paris. compulsion. and the roads will say leave all through live on your own move a week you have to move to a do you feel good the cost of the plant was still worth. it if you don't do. a little forget the whole thing coming. up with money i would say our full group in a group back on would be our group that we're going to be so liberal it had to be

no celebrity look where. it is you don't get very much that other good looking for a good good. and they'll be cut a little bit to hold it. in the wake of the. cold looking at the bank good except with. so the verdict is in canada is pushing clear parisians prefer the whining from the us all 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 gloss and say so and say show that you can ski r.t. paris. more of this week stories an exchange of fire between israel and militants in gaza hundreds of strikes from both sides and ukraine's far right parties some

account with children to talk to kill will tell you all about those stories right after this break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy thing for him to let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development 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. picks or didn't talk then this is the phrase that has become a mantra for many people but as more and more people get involved in visualizing the world around them how is the story we tell ourselves about ourselves changing.

i don't think the democrats very much moved in the go shape with the republicans or president so i think people are going to have to acknowledge that the united states over the next couple years is going to be consumed even more so by or internal our total bickering in affairs and. the weekly on mondays trying find to just struck palestinian targets after militants in gaza launch 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 will were up and it. was about what.

i. eat. loads and loads. israeli defense minister our big dog lieberman quit on wednesday in protest at a gaza cease fire which he described as a capitulation to terror un seconds will have them urgency meeting on the conflict of the day before in which the israeli representatives and the palestinian observer were 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 at tackling the fires the result of this blockade which is immoral and illegal and it is inhumane and we will continue to take any

measures 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 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 party has organized a children some account although to some it might seem more like a boot camp journalist from the associated press news agency visited the site is live under strict rules and learn how to be combat ready as in the trunk of reports . now that's what i call a legit summer camp. both of you 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 did just that this is you know they really can still live there it seems limitless new coal then out of system but it's just in the what i was. supposed to call fun things when one of them only two of his 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. of the us this.

should make you. 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. youth projects the goal is to prop up what they call a 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 principally 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. in january ukraine past and recognizing russia as an aggressive state last week the ukrainian vice prime minister said his country is trying to build a strong democracy while accusing the kremlin of supporting populist nationalist movements but journalist brian mcdonald's covered the com thanks since it started believes we're at a turning point i'm just shocked that it's finally been reported in the west a mean associated press have gone in there obviously

a syndication agency so obviously that you know their company that 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 without some 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 and when. particular with these national 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 been 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 would suppose and moral leadership you know lashing out against this were the british embassy of. retail giant imus and his pick the location for its second. growing its original home in seattle is now setting up shop over on the east coast

with the base between new york and arlington virginia the competition was tough with several cities vying to be honest but not everyone was keen to see the city can open explains. 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 or amazon your smart sexy city that thinks outside the box. please join us. where should amazon locate h q two in fiscal texas 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 so nice and we look forward to becoming an 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 worry that small businesses will suffer the newly elected democratic socialist congresswoman alexandria kazuo 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 in and i think there are other cities that can use the extra jobs more but 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 more 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 and a time one 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 you've been watching in the weekly here on our team to national i'll be back with more of days at the top of the out in the meantime want to check out our website and say to my family for my first ever family which is up next.

why why that. don't conform to the least syllable of so explicit a complete mazzei adon that the install what they can do you to post a thing in the chain in moscow also not to post the parts cook it does monkey using to. eat a bullet you must go all forms because all. we need got told was about i'd seen a paulist that's supposed to mean york at loggerheads with one of our people have no idea how can you suppose. that i kneel all platforms that screw up on the sand to get. the fleas or the very.
