really warplanes caused devastation in response to cross the border rocket fire. are broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is r t international and john thomas glad to have you with us as we recap the week's top stories. of british prime ministers who brags a plan came under fire this week with cabinet resignations and calls for a vote of no confidence theresa may unveiled her e.u. divorce plan on wednesday. the choice before us is clear this deal all leave with no deal. or no bricks it at all. all right soon after announcing her draft deal with a view to cabinet member ministers quit including the brags that secretary theresa

may also had to face it through our growing by parliament. because the prime minister's still intends to put a false choice to parliament between her botched jail or no jail and the labor party have only one intention that is to frustrate the trade if. you are not delivering the brakes people voted for and today you will lose the support of many conservative m.p. i'm merely on's 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 been delivered on because they cohen's be delivered to them 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's 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 world this breaks that 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 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 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 saying on twitter people tearing up their cards and taking photographs this deal doesn't actually satisfy any body. in archie's online series in case you missed it. takes an alternative look at events sad westminster. there was something quick. and ready because i have been. in westminster

as the cradle of britain's parliament tree democracy trying to get to grips with something to do with rights it. now this time the thing to do with drugs it is very serious and we know this because important ministers to do with gregg's it which they should all be including someone in charge of greg's it was practically a display of confidence in himself. and if you. look at anyone leave the ministry with. the music. bring a. lot of. the noise the

backstop is you know basically we could. go given the e.u. our backstop. should go home over 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 process at least. the military. isn't going to let. these guys. have a portending to know all about it in fact. about what's happening. we're not watching at its fastest say that right now everyone's talking about it without having read it a little bit like the bible. or in p. c z

what's the backstory oh i'm not sure it's all right. mike stone. excuse me neither. what is it you can only read you think of my job to ask the questions you don't. know 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 at r.t. dot com. really declassified documents have revealed a cia program to develop a so-called truth serum it involves 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 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 or here's what i've got you have has 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 progress from attention flaps and walling to 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 torture is 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 don't think it's stuff that no was the leaders of the u.s. and france had a high profile falling out on tuesday donald trump and turned on emanuel micron over his calls for 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 and paris before the us came along pay for nato no. thanks makes it very hard for the us to send its winds into france and challenges big tariffs not the fact must change the problem is that the manual suffers from a very low approval rate it's twenty six percent and unemployment rate of almost ten percent. makes france great to get.

one petition out but is it will be we need to use whom you can defend it so long moreover without depending only on the us in a way that exhibits greater sovereignty. and we all. think you look really good. prefer. as well as taunting president micron on twitter donald trump claimed that america's wines are as good as anything france has to offer we went to paris to find out if locals agree. compulsive. the road for sale. and now that they're all oh you know you've got

to move to reduce their little state plan for its goal was. that you build you up a bit in your pocket. think of it. i would say our group. would be. called on to be. absolute most of it. you. don't know what will. be. in the week oh i. see it so the verdict is in a hundred it's clear parisians prefer the wine for making us all her well maybe for

once they don't rule towns being 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. otty paris. a russian carrier has successfully docked at the international space station after a two day flight space is cool it is going to have tons of supplies including good food water and oxygen so his flight was the first since last month spacecraft failed to enter orbit due to a malfunction yeah sas is now preparing for the arrival of three new crew members a russian canadian and an american who will be making the journey on december third . a deadly exchange of fire is continuing between israel and gaza that story much more still to come you are watching the weekly on our two international.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race in his spearing dramatic development only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. tracking gave americans a lot of job opportunities i needed to come up here to make some money like me twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i can make fifty thousand dollars a year truck so i chose to drive truck people rush to a small town in north dakota was an unemployment rate of zero percent like the gold rush is very very similar to. this beautiful story ended with pollution and of

a station a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here and just slow down so much they lost their jobs that laid off the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. it's a tough reality to deal. with them back this is the weekly arch international israeli fighter jets are continuing their bombing raids in gaza in response to cross border rocket fire this comes after a week of deadly hostilities in which at least seven palestinians and one israeli were killed.

well meanwhile israel's prime minister benyamin netanyahu has announced he is taking charge of the defense ministry that comes after his defense minister quit on wednesday in protest at the cease fire in gaza which he described as a capitulation to terror un security council held an emergency meeting on the conflict of the day before in which the israeli representative and a 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. that's in the fire but is a display which is illegal. in humane and we will continue to take any measure measure necessary to put there that will people this

round of violence was created as a result of a botched. desert ideally 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 terror. arise 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. were ukraine's far right freedom party has organized

a children's summer camp although to some it might seem like more of 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 as are he's really trying to go reports. now that's what i call a legit summer camp and. most of all you know a little 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 you just did you know they still live in that ceiling which you call then out of system but it used to know what i was doing he should post fun things when one of the only two of his more. 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 if 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 bus. on 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 crane passed a law recognizing russia as an aggressor state and last week ukrainian vice prime minister accused the kremlin of supporting nationalist movements most brian mcdonald who has covered the ukraine conflict since it started believes that we are now 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 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. 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 what it's supposed moral leadership you know lashing out against this where the british embassy and. u.s. cities have been battling it out to be the home of amazon's new h.q. but not everybody thinks having the mega corporation in town will help locals as artie's come up and 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 how a proud amazon customer. amazon. amazon or amazon your smart sexy city that thinks outside. 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 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 taxes. breaks and it's time when i was subway scrambling 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 doing it and i think there are other cities that can use the extra jobs more thought they were 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'll 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. whom or in a time when talk of the low wages income inequality and money in 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 and i wouldn't change my name to amazon that isn't for me i will be back with a thirty three minutes with more news this is the week that arch international.

or it didn't happen this is the phrase that has become a mantra for many people as more and more people get involved in visualizing the world around them always the story we tell ourselves about ourselves changing. world stage. why why. going to conform to a lease sale of slaves let's have a compartment say. don't store what they keep us to pee in the chain in moscow also not a place to park it does monkey sing to. eat a fella to go all for. a new guy thought was about i'd seen

a paulist of so soon york at loggerheads with one of my people had no idea how can you suppose that it still must i kneel all those that screw up on the sand to get. the fleet and the. right and rightly. so that. she will want their own money to be checked first. message. example.

and i'm just a sucker cutlets who are your constituents not this month and the post only that but i do not see any that is. why this. was this is. up to you in this ng is not to support the. so i like u.s. politics to be atoned at the states and they you know. it's mama forty six feet. and i feel cold if she. found my. show five come on. now and then that.
