the week's top stories from r.t. international the british prime minister battles to save her brags that plan after cabinet resignations and calls for a second the referendum the last game piece to consider the national interest and give it back to the withdrawal agreements represents a huge. deal that is already. in the water. declassified files reveal that the cia experimented with a so-called truth serum on prisoners who had resisted other interrogation

techniques also ahead. really warplanes cause the devastation in gaza in response to cross a border rocket fire. broadcasting live studios in moscow and whether you're watching from detroit michigan eating chinese food or from canada we're glad to have you with us as we cover the weekly alright the british prime minister's brags that 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. this deal all leave with no deal only no bricks it will 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 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 and betrayed. you or 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 breaks it all or we can work. 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 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 me 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 so it's very hard to see how someone who is dug in behind great deal which seems to be almost friendless this is that

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 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 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 in our series in case you missed it polly boyko takes an alternative look at events out of westminster. they want something quick on the ground. 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 things. now this time the thing to deal with it is very serious and we know this because important to do with great that have quit their job including someone inside. college grads it was actually a display of confidence in himself. look at anyone leave him in his sleep with me. looking. at these images to link up with bricks a. lot of. the noise of the

backstop is. basically good for both children. to go to given the e.u. a backstop. for the ship of all those seven eight eight seven. there are five hundred pages of something to do with brags that that person elected representatives are hearing inside this call a masterpiece. 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 with 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 will still deny them the doodle with a bunch of what is it you don't even you think is my job toss the questions and don't leave. 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. that on r.t. dot com. the newly declassified documents have revealed a cia program to develop a so-called truth serum it involves drugging prisoners who are able to withstand other interrogation techniques project medication was of 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 right now has more on this cia interrogation program and how it evolved. it wasn't 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 hours these progressed 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 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 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 once problem number three seriously illegal there were at least two legal obstacles approved mission against 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 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 and juice they kept prime kept sniffing around digging up details and publicizing never they 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 year is that they've 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 oh no. the leaders of the u.s. and france had a high profile falling out on tuesday donald trump turned on and manual over his calls for a europe wide army. but it was germany in world wars one and two how did that work out the front. they were starting to learn german in congress before the u.s. can pay for nato with no. thanks makes it very hard to send its winds in front of judges think tanks you know the facts must change the problem is that the manual suffers from a very low approval it's twenty six percent and i'm a claimant right to the list tend to. make france great to get.

one politician up but it will be we need to use who may be independents who for a little the world would know depending only on the us you would be to exhibit greater suffering. and we all. think you. prefer. as well as taunting president 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 of locals agree. new roads will soon roll through their own move. to move to reduce the constant

real skill. if you don't do. it in your local really think of it. i would say our pool room. would. certainly be. absolute most of it we're more where the it is you don't get very much but i did it. and now he. says no vote for. him the only girl. in the city but that. is so who the verdict is in a hundred is pussy clear parisians preferred the wine from the us all her well

maybe for once the don't hold 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. otty paris. space is cool and a russian carrier has successfully docked at the international space station after a day of flight delivering two and a half tons of supplies including food water and oxygen the soyuz flight was the first and last month when a spacecraft failed to enter orbit due to a malfunction is now preparing for the arrival of three new crew members a russian a canadian and an american who will be making the journey on a descent. if there. is a deadly exchange of fire is continuing between israel and gaza that story much more still to come you're watching our attention national.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars and. more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trees per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one business show you can afford to miss the one and only.

i don't think the democrats are much mode 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 our internal our turtle bickering in affairs. welcome back you're watching the weekly here on our team international and 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. and about it wolf.

i. was. meanwhile israel's prime minister benjamin 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 the u.n. security council held an emergency meeting on the conflict the day before in which the israeli representative and a palestinian observer were at loggerheads. the 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 these hamas but that's in the fire but result of the splog aid which is immoral and illegal and it is inhumane and we will continue to take any

measure to measure necessary to protect our people this round of violence was created as a result of the budge and the desire eagerly 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 foreign 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 a news agency visited the site where youngsters live under strict rules and to learn how to be combat ready as aren't easily track oh come. now that's what i call a legit summer camp. oh you little early morning wakeup calls. brought by off. chance that kids will remember for the rest of their lives. was catching march. welcome to the temper of will summer camp in 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 are being taught how to kill did. you know they still live there and you call it then that it's to sit but it used to know what i was. supposed to call fun things when one of them and that was the only issue with this 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. should make you. feel that what. first thought

was. what may seem as an ugly display of far right shod brain washing appears to get full support from the local administration well earlier this year kiev splashed some of its budget 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 atlantica council think tank tried to raise international awareness 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 passed a law recognizing russia as an aggressor state and last week the ukrainian vice prime minister accused the kremlin of supporting it nationalist movements journalist brian mcdonald who has covered the ukraine conflict since it started believes that we are at an age when. 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 that has to be reported

in other means. 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 out of sight out of ignore 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 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 amazon's new headquarters but not everybody thinks having the mega corporation in town will help locals artie's

cable 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 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 sunny sound we look forward to becoming in the even bigger opponents 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 at 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 for their movie when you 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. honest to

legally change his name if it would convince amazon to move in. to amazon and 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 one of the dozen for me and the weekly bud his name is you know neal and he'll be here in about thirty three minutes with a fresh look at headlines you're watching our two international have with us. you know world of big new law and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than

ever we need to be smarter 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 troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. nobody could see coming that false confessions would be that in the spot place the problem for conviction if you look at any interrogation out there what you'll see is threat promise threat promise threat lie a lie a lie the process of interrogation is designed to put people in just that frame of mind make the most comfortable make them want to get out and don't take no for an answer don't accept their denials she said if i were to. send a statement that i would be home by that time the next day there's

a culture on accountability and police officers know that they can engage in misconduct that has nothing to do with all their crime. i don't think the democrats very much moved in a go shake 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 our internal our total victory in affairs.
