i. i i. i i i i i. i. u.k. prime minister says her brakes plan on locks a bright future after the lead is folk to endorse the deal treason may faces an uphill battle to get a hostile parliament on her side also to come i. in the stories that shaped the week violence spills on to the streets of france to get some water cannon are used against yelling that's protesters who've been making

a stand over petrol prices have 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. i'm 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. good evening welcome the latest developments and look back at what's been happening over the last seven days to you watching the weekly here on r.t. international. now if you leaders have agreed to withdraw deal with the british prime minister to resign may be agreement will now have to go through the british parliament 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 a 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 if. you know most of coming to its decision from should wish this is to. just 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 a lot 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

a 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 have been delivered to them because they know must 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 of the public has been eating 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 if a piece don't vote for this particular deal that's been being offered to them if no deal perhaps it 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. ok let's discuss this further now without unscared he's professor of international history at the london school of economics and you very welcome and thanks for coming on what are your thoughts here any injuries and his down the easy bit i suppose you could say what are the chances of her getting this deal through parliament. well the president looks almost impossible public opinion polls that only about twenty percent of the public support. of the party in the house of commons is against. peter against the

crucially the. good of the present unions. which provides that with a majority is able. vote against the deal. at the moment to be impossible i think shaming them that happens alan. pays face against this what happens next. well a number of things could happen and i suspect the conservative m p's will vote to have a leadership called test and the reason may. be that i was to tory party did and prime minister almost certainly on the call. they're all. it would depend on the prime minister. if tories are able to survive but leadership. should have a number of options she might just go for the deal it's all she might try is to go back to brussels. for a revision of the present agreement. inside the do.

or she might bring in some plan b. . of a arrangement such as norway. or. i dunno if things became very desperate and to most of would have called for the support of them white bread during the election but i thought it would happen my own feeling is that if she loses there will be a leadership challenge and that will probably be the end over. i just wondered about public opinion here because we know what happened in the first referendum do you think anything has changed since then do you think more people are realizing or hearing that it would be a disaster if we had a hard break perhaps it's a good choice to go with what my saying at the moment. well the certainly enough voices does also seeing is that happened. to be very undemocratic

to refute or trying to overthrow the will of a democratic. or to the largest democratic majority in british history i don't think they'll be a second referendum would be very difficult to organize one people wouldn't agree with what the question walls and those of us who are in favor of brecht's it would probably boycott it i think. i don't expect to see a second referendum what i do expect to see is probably no deal i think that's the most likely prospect because the clock is ticking. by law exit the european union the twenty ninth of law next year and that doesn't even know full of time pon it will go into christmas recess time it comes back i don't seem to be any time to organize very much to be people who new prime minister or mrs may whoever it is government ministers

desperate to get brussels to reopen negotiations i didn't sing brussels would do that. huge political crisis a lot of. very very different. feeling is the government would have to introduce legislation for deal and i think the european union both of could be individuals member states would be doing the same thing alan really good to talk to fascinating going to have to leave it there on the freight thanks for your time and scared professor of international history at the london school of economics thank you. but france has been hit by a week of furious demonstrations against hikes in fuel prices led by protesters wearing bright yellow safety vests around eighty thousand demonstrators vented

their anger on saturday nationwide with violence flaring up in paris gas water cannon and fires create chaos throughout the week i was traveling across the country including to the capital where she got caught up in the clashes. because as you can see behind me there are a group of around a hundred yellow vests where is. trying to blockade roads around abouts like this this is one of the main arteries that would go from blue all the way to paris and what they're saying is that the president might call a 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 no magic formula and so for corn hasn't brought in a magic formula it's not about politics rule equal and we're all here against the french government is clear to everybody since mccrone became president prices have increased food fuel we don't want them anymore we want to change the system.

it's getting a little rowdy no as you can see the yellow best pretty. i suppose the taken over this section know 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 parent's eyes you can see ten guesses being fired by the police that's as the protesters were trying to enter into that street to get closer seriously ellie's a paralysed. was. ok. the have 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 eyes red is really hard to open them and at the moment we are just a burning uncontrollably. the police are coming we're having to move now because we're all being pushed up the street seems to the to gaston to protest this it really is absolutely crazy here on the streets of paris. thanks 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 up become infamous in paris of late they're burning here this is one of the barricades have been put in place. thank you. it just seems that people now all puti angry at the situation and the fact that the president is still refused to meet

them to discuss the problems in this country. hundred thirty protestors were detained across the country on saturday forty two of them were in paris and some. thirty people were also injured on tuesday the french president among macron is expected to address the issues raised in those protests and earlier he strongly condemned the violence. thanks to our law enforcers 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 influences reach even as far as children's entertainment apparently at least if you believe some of the western media they do accuse a russian cartoon series which has been a hit around the world of being designed to sway young minds shouting viggo as more . 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 decent 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 a plucky she punches a bunch of weight is no fun face to see. 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 the 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 as you. 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 invade your homeland masha and the bear is hybrid warfare. the british empire. and who sums up american decadence bits of the. my nephews are watching my shoot the bear q. they don't seem to be particularly indoctrinated. i really really do not want to read more about how masha in the back is true to his propaganda. i can confirm that i watched two episodes of their when i was nine and i suddenly became a twitter party speaks russian.

not changed a marked a major milestone for the international space station twenty years since russia launched the first module of the opening science of poetry on the cover and crew on board this message. you don't usually speak of this dizziness so news that sailing is a mere if course most of. the more than two hundred people say far from eighteen different countries a visit to 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 war rivals so is a quick look then at how the russia u.s. friendship is developed.

enough to. let it be. constructed. to be a lot of emotion that you might think. the mission which you need for order over i think the population rather better or for the work you'll. look for and see if this worst bird girl told your dog to draw lots and lots we are all full of brother to what.

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 what are the problems that might come up and what you've learned. some. doesn't it just give them some this new items for sale for you if she were. simply to be a good little seems only to me and send. me a bill with me from not only from. the

problems of the police but. you ever hear from. from together more often for the future together. if. you watch and we can still to come to an apparent terrorist chemical attack is being reported in series and that by leaving dozens of people injured including children i will have more details just awful. what politicians do you should. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to be.

too great to be heard this is what the three of them or you could get. interested in the why. question. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is very dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. welcome back now russia has temporarily closed its territorial waters near the

crimean peninsula after ukrainian navy ships ended in what is being described as a deliberate provocation with more his hugo she done. really geographies key 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 ukrainian naval ships have been going from the black sea see the shortest route is through the east the curch strait russia considers crimea the crimean peninsula its own territory since the twenty fourteen referendum there also believes that the waters of the current strait russian too so 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. they got there when i was three ukrainian navy vessels crossed the russian border illegally into temporarily closed russian territorial waters they

have not provided the mandatory advance notice they are not on the shipping route should jule they're not complying with orders and occurring out dangerous maneuvers the border service of the federal security service of russia is taking all necessary measures to ensure shipping routes safety of our ukraine of course 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 un 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 straight russian border ships carried out today 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 they just to position did right across the strait and so it is physically blockaded nobody can go through in either direction not just these ukrainian not just these three ukrainian no warships but also 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 out. of the news 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 these are images of victims receiving medical treatment medics say they had since 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 in. right with the shelling coming from an area controlled by an al qaeda linked group in neighboring

province militant commanders and to deny any involvement insisting they don't have any chemical weapons series foreign ministry is calling on the un to condemn and punish the rebels involved in these soldiers well as the countries that back the middle east expert though i will cast believes he won't hear any condemnation of this attack from the west whether the rebels have such weaponry or not we know for sure that they do we know that in april two thousand and sixteen. used chlorine gas against a part of it a neighborhood called she has 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 so that's i think looking so far today here and i see we're back again with the weekly in thirty.

one of them but i think. there's a real body. sometimes one of them one nine hundred seventy s. i. put them

down and the month that i think oh i can't yes i mean yes i knew she needed that you know to yeah interesting. because he knew that he had a cheeky. when i say he made a move out of the last you know enough to vote why don't you. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics school business i'm show business i'll see you then.

well. this is the pat on the land. five years ago it was all grass. like that over there now we have this this pumper going day in day out we didn't have any choice really we could have put it over that way or ways i mean we could have moved it a little bit. but we have to let the people who own the mineral rights get to those minorities and they compensated us for what they took here but the company built it and we have it now or no next forty years i'm guessing i don't know. my house up there from there we have we used to have a beautiful view. and now we have this to look at brings in a little bit of money very little if they took us out of here and get back all the money i made off of it. oh it going to happen.

someday you know an oil is all pumped out of the ground they will come back here and level it all out and turn it back into farmland but that's you know like i say it's going to be out of most of our lifetimes be out of mind for sure. you have nothing to say about where. i should say i have nothing to say you can suggest but they don't have to listen to you don't i mean you have no legal say in it put it that way so they can put a wherever they want they don't need any your permission for all industry follows

a proper practice is i don't think we'll have a problem but there's always that if me if they don't then we could have an issue in the biggest issue would be to to ground water as i see it when we live our air in rural areas most of us depend on wells for our our drinking water and all the water we use in our old so if that would happen it would be a very bad thing. as a lot of fracturing job that's where they pump the sand the fluid inhale the chemicals because they use acid is one they use a chemical called bio bio it kills all biological elements so so when they pump out that often in a ground any kind of bacteria is going to kill any kind of living organism of any.
