i. just twelve euros fifty a month. the u.k. prime minister says her bright. bright future after. the trees in. a hostile parliament. i. mean the stories that shape the way fallen spills on to the streets of france as to gas and water cannon the use against the best protesters simply making

a stand over petrol prices not a bit of difficulty opening my eyes right now not because we've just been in the midst of all of this tear gas. flying high for twenty years the international space station celebrates two decades of pioneering research we go behind the scenes and take a look at its amazing achievements. watching the international time to look at the latest developments and a look back to what's been happening over the last seven. now e.u. leaders have agreed a break sit withdrawal deal with the british prime minister to resign may today the agreement will now have to go through the british parliament though where it faces an uphill struggle to get approval m.p.'s as well as the nation as a whole remain deeply divided on the issue but may says she is still optimistic the

british people will get behind deal. the deal we have agreed today a lot of bright future for the u.k. m.p.'s will vote on this deal it will be one of the most significant votes that parliament has held for many years and it will depend whether we move forward to get into a brighter future or open the door to get more division and uncertainty this is certainly seen as something that could be described as the calm before the storm because despite the fact that theresa may and her e.u. counterparts got together in brussels to put a massive check mark on these last two years of torturous negotiations certainly the most difficult part now it seems only lies ahead because despite the fact that european union and doris the agreement that was reached between the u.k. and the rest of the e.u. now this document is going to have to travel to the house of commons here in westminster and this is where the battle has been raging on about whether or not

this is something that could be acceptable for the u.k. and today we heard in brussels the european commission president try to convince m.p.'s that they should support this deal and that really it's the only deal possible. to work you should just give the house of commons. distinction should wish this is the best. we can to boost to push a button for europe this is the only course within the house of commons passions have been flying very very high as m.p.'s have debated this question does the prime minister's still intend to vote of false choice to parliament between her a botched jail or no jail you will not delivering the breaks to people who voted for the prime minister comes before us today trying to sell us the deal that is already dead in the water the reason why the people of this country are so fed up

these. because they've been made so many promises none of which are being delivered to them because they won't be delivered to them well it certainly looks this looks like the balance of opinion on this issue is not tipping into recent may's favor at this point and of course we have to keep in mind that for weeks on and the issue of a possible vote of no confidence has been raised here in westminster and thrown around so that continues to be a possibility with many within the conservative party insisting that this is not the best deal that could be put forward we also know of course that prominent political figures here in westminster have resigned and left their positions. in defiance of the way to recently has been handling brackets and of course the public has been needing a lot of reassurance we know that theresa may has published an open letter pleading with the british people to support her and back on this deal but whether or not

that is in fact the case is the big question still people here wondering whether don't vote for this particular deal that's been being offered to them if no deal perhaps that could happen if theresa may could be pushed out the door still whether or not there could be another election and really whether all of this could yet again and up at square one. fronts has been hit by a week of furious demonstrations against hike in fuel prices led by protestors wearing bright yellow safety vests around eighty thousand demonstrators vent their anger on saturday nationwide with violence flaring up in paris to gas water cannon and fires created. we actually devinsky has been travelling across the country including to the capital where she did get caught up in the clashes. as you can see behind me there are a group of around one hundred yellow vests these are trying to block a druid's

a roundabout it's like this this is one of the main arteries that would go through lula lol. the way to paris and what they saying is that president might call has said lots of things he said he's going to come into power he's going to make reforms he's going to change the french economy for the better but the people here say there is noone magic formula and so for mccall hasn't brought in a magic formula it's not about politics we're all equal and we're all here against the french government is clear to everybody this is mccrum became president prices have increased food fuel it's all gone up we don't want them anymore i want to change the system. it's getting a little rowdy know as you can see the yellow vests protesters have taken over this section no the roads they are now completely in control of it and trying to stop the traffic. that's artistry to the

entrance of the earlies a price rise you can see take gas has been fired by the police that's as the protesters were trying to enter into that street to get close to it seriously ellie's a paralysed. was. was . having a bit of difficulty opening my eyes right now and that's because we've just been in the midst of all of this tear gas as you can see a thread is really hard to open them and at the moment they are just a burning uncontrollably. the police are coming with having to move now because we're all being pushed up the streets into the to gaston to protest this it really is absolutely crazy here on

the streets of paris. i know this is a road just off the arc de triomphe and as you can see here we've got some of the stooges they've become infamous in paris of late they're burning here this is one of the barricades have been put in place. i. i it just seems that people now are hugely angry at the situation and the fact that their president is still refused to meet them to discuss the problems in this country. reporting there were one hundred thirty protesters were detained across the country on saturday forty two of them were in paris and some thirty people were injured on tuesday french president a man who macron is expected to address the issues raised in the protests earlier though he strongly condemned the violence. thanks to our lord

forces for their courage and professionalism shame on those who attacked them shame on those who have abused other citizens and journalists shame on those who try to intimidate elected officials there is no room for this violence in the republic. russia's malign influence reaches even as far as children's entertainment apparently at least of some western media are to be believed because they now accuse a russian karting series which has been a hit around the world have been designed to sway young minds jacqueline vaguer reports. and that little sweetheart was matia from the cartoon in the bear originally russian the series has been translated into dozens of languages and won the hearts of millions across the globe but it turns out there may be a sinister side to the enduring little girl and her protective pet decently trying to.

see now what russia has forgotten to mention there is that some cartoons are in fact evil putin propaganda yep according to a times u.k. article moshe is just another putin pop it is funny steep. but also plucky she punches a bunch of weight is no fun fish to see is putin ask but it seemed to be particularly worried about one scene and a single episode or moshe's seen wearing a soviet border guards hat. apparently that's meant to be a statement on russia's defense of its borders but even if we say that's true what kind of kid would pick up on that but hey it's best to start when they're young right the studio behind this propaganda masterpiece of course denies being influenced by the kremlin's hand saying they received no state funding but we did

a bit of digging and found some ominous signs you simply can't ignore here comes the kremlin for all of two seconds that could easily be interpreted as a soviet red star to skies as an innocent christmas decoration and you may not realize it but the weird hat that must has got on here is a traditional russian hat now i know those examples aren't so much propaganda as they are just random russian things but that's all we could climb but worry not it turns out the bear itself is a representation of russia as a whole you see bear you think russia right. it's a fact it's a struggle for the minds part of a hybrid exposure in which a negative image of russia is replaced by a positive oh the horror the horror now you know what your children are being exposed to and can protect them accordingly. and the bear are not coming to. mush and the hybrid. british empire apologist and who sums up

american decadence. my liver is watching my shoot the very few they don't seem to be particularly indoctrinated. i really really do not want to read more about how masha in the back to his propaganda. i can confirm that i watched two episodes of march in there when i was nine and i suddenly became a quitter party speaks russian. now also this week tuesday marks a major milestone for the international space station twenty years since russia launched the first module of the orbiting science lab the current crew on board had this message. either unusual the spirit of this journey so. far more than two hundred people from eighteen different countries have so far

visited the space station and over the years has become an example of close international cooperation not least a beacon of warming relations between two bitter cold rivals so here's a quick look then at how the russia u.s. friendship developed to the moon and back. so you would ski american ski just enough to get the. shots you let it beat you. yet. you move out of. the

mission or if you need a supporter of i think the population. for more of the feel. of currency if this was to her all these years i could sit there all it seemed like the brother for what. it is for me. they were cutting new ground they said well gosh let's see if we can build a bigger space station and what can we do one of the problems that might come up what you've learned. some of the many interesting and doesn't just you know them some this new disposal for me if she were me i. needed. to feel to look at the seams to leave you at least fifty percent.

of it's me from that with me from. the. but if i'm wrong. gather here we've actually put them together for the possible for the future and could gather from. what you know we can hear knotty still to come for you an apparent terrorist chemical attack has been reported in series aleppo leaving dozens of people

instinct leaving children we'll have more details on that just off the brain. on the scene on the line circumstances that's a loud for these emergency of this very very long form of violence i think that we may get the sons and even grandsons of guys at some point in the future it's primarily a political issue in iraq that has taken on the minutes we've got on the traditions . and what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line and they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure more somehow want to.

have to try to be for us this is like the fourth tree in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of the holocaust. or sit. down. again i russia has built its territorial waters. near the crimean peninsula where ukrainian navy ships are vented in what is being described as a deliberate provocation so let's get more details now from because dan if he joins us there in the studio eagle what more information then do we have only really geographies here a everything is happening as you've just mentioned right off the coast of the crimean peninsula that is the main factor so what's been happening is

the. navy has been going naval ships have been going from the black sea to be as of see through the shortest route is through the strait of the the strait of carriage the carriage straight so. russia considers crimea the crimean peninsula its own territory since the twenty fourteen referendum there it also believes that the waters of the carriage strait are russian to saw russia has been citing international law the certain articles of the u.n. charter for denying the right of passage to ukrainian ships have a listen for five hours no on russian territorial waters in the black sea three ukraine new movie versus a continuing their provocative actions their goal is clear to create a conflict situation in the region the border service of the federal security service of russia is taking in this the saree measures to restrain this deliberate

provocation by the ukrainian leadership and to ensure shipping routes safety ukraine of cause never recognized crimea as part of russia therefore it considers the waters of the courage strait theirs and so ironically perhaps kiev has been citing also the articles of the u.n. charter saying that they do give them the right of passage through those waters so right now the situation is a bit of a stalemate especially after a statement like this from the key of authorities. contrary to the un convention on the law of the sea and the treaty between ukraine and the russian federation on cooperation on the use of the azoff sea in the coach straits russian border ships carried out very frankly aggressive action against the vessels of the navy of the armed forces of ukraine so right now what russia has done they moved in a civilian tanker over there and the position did right across the strait and so it

is physically blockaded nobody can go through in either direction not just these ukrainian monitors these three ukrainian no warships but also on civilian vessels as well right now again it's a stalemate the two sides are just sitting there looking at each other just having a sunday like are ok you go thanks for the r.t. if you go down off. i mean while dozens of people including children have been taken to hospital after an apparent chemical attack targeting the syrian city of aleppo that's according to the russian defense ministry where these are images of victims receiving medical treatment medics say they had symptoms consistent with chlorine exposure russian chemical experts are working at the scene of the attack the russian defense ministry says the attack was carried out at night with the shelling coming from an area controlled by an al qaeda linked group in neighboring italy a province lytton commanders though do deny any involvement insisting they don't have any chemical weapons syria's foreign ministry though is calling on the u.n.

to condemn and punish the rebels involved in the assault as well as the countries that back them so let's get more discussion on this with what cathy is a middle east expert a very welcome amar thanks for coming back on. with regards to this how easy would it be to determine do you think the culprits the people behind this because there are always claims and counterclaims out there. well of course there is and you know many parties have very conflicting interests so to speak. if we take into consideration all we take for granted actually that. forces on the ground that are know you will to turkey for example would refrain from doing so using chemical attack chemical weaponry against civilians then probably there are others that are not loyal to turkey probably there are others that are loyal to someone else like saudi arabia or qatar for example or probably indeed the

extremists of other moves for themselves who seem to be you know unknowable to anybody whether the rebels have such weaponry or not we know for sure that they do we know that in april two thousand and sixteen. militia called station islam used chlorine gas against part of a ripple a neighborhood called she. this is the only record revealed to me that we actually see in the whole of the syrian war you should islam need to acknowledge that this was done not according to you you know. the rules of engagement of battle so to speak effectively punishing the leader for the deeds so we know they have it what is significant is that were they if they did it assuming they did it what does it signify is it trying to drag the syrian army into an armed conflict. before the stand up process for example they don't collide with a stalemate they don't like this peaceful sort of atmosphere it leaves at the

moment or not we don't know. what you think the reaction will be then internationally many if you look across the media it's not a story that's being covered extensively. well just like the reaction we think that took place in april two thousand and sixteen when for whom the wish your neighborhood was was bombed with chlorine gas trucks with at the time was populated by kurdish militia by the way. it's obviously not going to be emphasized because it goes counter to every single argument that they've been trying to build up. against the syrian government the syrian government is the one that is killing its people. using chemical weapons so to speak once it comes to actually the rebels have chemical weapons obviously providing that they are the ones who did this one but during parallel from two years ago. in aleppo itself nobody spoke about this nobody speaks about this you know the public need probably to be under the impression all

the time that the bad guys are the syrian government and the good guys are the rebels. previous chemical attacks we've seen accusations that the syrian government was behind them being brought up at the u.n. haven't they do you think this one will be brought up there. or not necessarily again we need to remember that the in two thousand and thirteen in the summer of two thousand and thirteen when the who attack. took place the international investigation investigators the u.n. investigators where has just or had just arrived into damascus to investigate a chemical attack against the syrian army in the last hour southwest of a little. after five months of asking by the syrian government. the syrian government perhaps could ask the international community for something to send or to dispatch over c.w.

for example experts to examine the situation but then you know would the world comply they might say ok well you. stopped or the russians for example stopped the u.p.c. the. joint investigation mechanism. in the un joint investigation mechanism on syria so why should we can play to you but again the general mood will be probably most. is that it would be paid very much in the west if measured or told it's not really mentioned now and there are accusations against the syrian government or its affiliates that actually they have staged this in order to. say that the rebels have it but the rebels realistically speaking are not ok you hear it buddy so if one faction here or one faction there have. nonconventional weapons or certain lethal weapons they might as well use it to prove a point they're not being given some funding goal whatever to draw funding from

somebody we know for sure that the troops are now cracking down on song rogue elements for example. pushing against the syrian army. north and east of aleppo in area they are disbanding units they are clashing militarily with units and there are casualties so it could be that some. commander or from the rebel commander said well i have some chemical weapons if you're going to push me then i'm going to probably use it could be the case we don't know you this isn't difficult to ascertain for the moment but look we appreciate your insights and europe perspective on this i was half middle east expert thank you thank you very much. and thank you for watching too much in the weekly here in r.t. we're back again in thirty five.

more make this manufactured conservative state of public wealth. when the right wing closest to protect themselves. in the frame of. the sun we don't want. to ignore middle of the room sick. please go camp so now you can't for people that can't was in there like so tired can't. see how they don't have to talk about what they go through with us because we understand our daughter katie was diagnosed with a very rare sun sets to. condition if i get sunburned i heal she doesn't feel patience or the problems with the walk to talk to some brains are actually

shrinking inside the scolded speaker in the brain still small. the pain is indescribable it's feels like a really really bad chemical burn but it goes through your skin in your muscle down to the bone. there is no really close to this not to sure this is just. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. theory dramatic development only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very. time to sit down and talk.

all. clones of welcome to worlds apart the struggle between good and evil for the human soul is that all the flaws in history sunshield to the bible and almost all the books that came out how does one make this story which has been told millions of times see no evil and piercing it all to discuss that i'm now joined by film director paul origin of as a great to talk to i thank you very much for your time now we are according to center of year in sci. petersburg the part of the city that's most associated with . the great russian writer this is where he lived this is where many of his novels

i wonder if the place feels any special. the. most important thing about the three years is. this. the human story. and. the you months or i think this is common point many of your films deal with the same themes the. writings the meaning of good and evil moral choice freewill conscious and subconscious do you just set off to raise those eternal themes in in a new context or do you actually try to add something new to the conversation. or. you. explain away my movie or try to make out a fridge.
