israeli warplanes caused devastation in gaza in response to cross a border rocket fire. and broadcasting. this is art international and sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us. the british prime minister's brags that plan came under fire this week with cabinet resignations and calls for a vote of no confidence treason may unveiled her e.u. divorce plan on wednesday. the choice before us is clear this deal all leave with no deal all the or no bricks it at all soon after announcing her draft deal with the e.u. two cabinet ministers quit including the brags that secretary theresa may also had to face a three hour grilling by parliament. does the prime minister's still intend to put
7:02 pm
a false choice to parliament between her a botched jail or no jail she and the labor party have only one intention that is to frustrate trade. you are 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 choose. i. or 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
7:03 pm
been delivered on because they cohens 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 resignations 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 a bricks deal which seems to be almost friendless this is that failure is an orphan and success has a thousand parents well this breaks that deal look very much like an orphan to me
7:04 pm
today she's come up with this withdrawal agreement and nobody wants it doesn't satisfy the remain as who don't want to leave anyway and it doesn't satisfy the leavers because under it we don't really leave so no one's going to be happy about this i don't believe she can get it through parliament and of course it also has to come for 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 in artie's online series in case you missed it polly boyko takes an alternative look at events at westminster. they want something quick on this credit deal let me read it because i have been. in westminster as the cradle of britain's parliament free democracy trying to get to

grips with something to do with gregg's it. now this time the thing to do with threats is it is very serious and we know this because important ministers to do with gregg's it time which they should all be including someone in charge of gregg's it comes back to a display of confidence in himself. that it. looks anyone even when they sleep with me sleeping. with music is to limit how this works it will. be better to. let them know that the name of the backstop is. basically good for both children. to go to given the e.u.
7:06 pm
a backstop. will she go home oh seven eight eight seven. there are five hundred pages of something to do with brags that the britons elected representatives are all hearing inside this goldfish at least. politically correct isn't it strange. that. these guys. have 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. war and peace. c.z. what's the back story oh i'm not sure it's all right. what's the mike stone.
7:07 pm
excuse me tonight. what is it you don't you think of my job to ask the questions. the aim of the so-called backstop is to prevent a hard border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland you can read more about that on r.t. dot com. newly declassified documents have revealed a cia program to develop a so-called the truth serum it involved drugging prisoners who were able to withstand other interrogation techniques. project medication was have previously undisclosed element of this program in which in addition to the physical and psychological torture that ca was engaged in several ca 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 or here's what our guys have has more on the cia interrogation program and how it evolved. it wasn't
7:08 pm
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 those these progress from attention flaps and wool into confinement in both large about five hours and small about one our book says and finally to the waterboard amazingly resistant to waterboard what happened was
7:09 pm
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 ha 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. approve bush and his medical experimentation on prisoners and a ban on interrogation will 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 torches according to the torturers themselves the doctors others who were present were horrendous to watch
7:10 pm
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 ca 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 ever they owe the government the
7:11 pm
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. the leaders of the u.s.

meanwhile israel's prime minister binyamin netanyahu has announced he is taking charge of the defense ministry that comes after his defense minister quit on wednesday in protest at the ceasefire in gaza which he described as a capitulation to terror and the un security council held an emergency meeting on the conflict the day before in which the israeli representative and a palestinian observer were at loggerheads. security council must only condemn hamas but we condemn in the strongest possible terms this aggression by israel there is no such a thing both sides these hamas attacks and fires result of the splog aid which is immoral and illegal and it is inhumane and we will continue to take any measure no measure necessary to protect our people this round of violence was
7:19 pm
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 so far right freedom party has organized a children's summer camp although to some it might seem like more of
7:20 pm
a boot camp journalist from the associated press news agency visited the site where youngsters live under strict rules and learn how to be combat ready and sorties comments. now that's what i call a legit summer camp. oh 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
7:21 pm
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 a new day and they can still live. new coal then out of sense it but it used to know what i was doing he should post pickle fun things when one of them and it was a moment see with 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. sell what you will feel. so out of the. west that was.
7:22 pm
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 bus. 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 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. in january ukraine passed a law recognizing russia as an aggressor state last week the ukrainian vice prime minister accuse the kremlin of supporting nationalist movements last primary donald who has covered the ukraine conflict since it started believes we are at a turning point. i'm just shocked that it's finally been reported in the west i mean 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 but 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
7:24 pm
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 as 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 would it supposin moral leadership you know lashing out against this where the british embassy. u.s. cities have been battling it out to be the home of amazons you had quarters but not everybody thinks having the mega-corporation in town will help locals as artie's kilmartin explains. a competition of sorts began with cities across the country offering tax incentives and making cringing videos in the hopes of luring them in

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 at a time when i was subways crumbling and our 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 job more and i thought they were moving to new work they did 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. honest to legally change his name if it would convince amazon to move in. two.
