the. u.k. prime minister says. bright future leaders vote to endorse the reason may faces an uphill battle to get a hostile parliament on the side. i. mean the stories that shaped the week spills onto the streets of france as tear gas and water cannon used to get yellow vests protesters making a stand over petrol price. not

a bit of difficulty opening my eyes right now and that's because we've just been in the midst of all of this. for twenty years the international space station celebrates two decades of pioneering we go behind the scenes and take a look at its amazing achievement. me thanks for joining us this is the weekly here on our. e.u. leaders have agreed a briggs deal with british prime minister to resign may the agreement will now have to go through the british parliament faces an uphill struggle in order to get approval as well as the nation as a whole remain deeply divided on the issue but may says he still optimistic that the british people will get behind the 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 on 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 of 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 i just give you the house of commons. decision from sure this is the best. we can in just a boost to push a button for europe. only. 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 him 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 he. because they've been made so many promises none of which are being delivered to

them because thank homes 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 bracks it 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 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 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 radio host john gold police to resign my face is an impossible task of getting her breaks a deal. i'm afraid when this comeback comes back to the commons i think she's got a very old bill should go i mean we know today from arlene foster from the new you bait they're not going to back it so that's the ten vote vote that keeps the trees the main power of the moment out of the window jeremy called win today has said labor will not vote for torres bricks and remain as won't vote for it i think the commons will reject it i think should have no choice them but to resign if she doesn't resign of course there'll be a vote of no confidence and that has to be i almost agreed to tony blair today not about having another referendum but he made the point that this isn't the breaks

that we voted for no matter which side you're on and so sure she's got him a possible task she's going to fail in my opinion. france has been hit by a week of furious demonstrations against heights in fuel prices it was led by protesters wearing bright yellow safety vests around eighty thousand demonstrators vented their anger on saturday nationwide with the violence flaring in paris tear gas water cannon and fires creating chaos throughout the week county charlotte dubin ski's been travelling across the country including to the capital where there she was caught up in the clashes. typically as you can see behind me there are a group of around a hundred a year low vest wearers these are trying to blockade roads a roundabout slike this is one of the main arteries that would go from blue on all the way to paris and what they're saying is that the president must 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 corn 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 and we want to change the system. it's getting a little rowdy know as you can see the yellow vests protesters have taken over vis a section of the roads they are now completely in control of it and trying to stop the traffic. that's right a street to the entrance of the earlies a parent's eyes you can see take a guess has been fired by the police that's as the protesters were trying to enter into that street to get closer to the ellie's

a perilous. 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. threat is really hard to open them and at the moment they are just a burning uncontrollably. the police to come in we're having to move not because we're all being pushed up the street seems that you've gotten to the protest is it really is absolutely crazy here on the streets of paris. 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. if. it just seems that people now all pew only angry at the situation in the fact that their president is still refused to meet them to discuss the problems in this country one hundred thirty protesters were detained across the country on saturday forty two of them in paris some thirty people were injured on tuesday french president money mccrone is expected to address the issues raised in the protest earlier 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 at least to some western media to be believed they accuse a russian canteen series which has been a hit around the world of being designed to sway young minds to invoke as the story . 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 that didn't make 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 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 have 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 musher and the hybrid warfare. british empire apologist and who sums up american decadence bits of. my live is watching my show 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 bat

used to do his propaganda. i can confirm that i watched two episodes of march in there when i was nine and i suddenly became a quitter partly speaks russian. tuesday month a major milestone for the international space station twenty years since russia launched the first module of the orbiting science lab and the current crew on board had this message. of initial spirit of the. two hundred people from eighteen countries have visited the space station over the years it's become an example of a close international corporation not least the beacon of warming relations between two bitter cold war rivals is a look at how the russia u.s. friendship developed and back.

so you would ski american ski just enough to get the. shots you let it beat you. yet. you moved out of. the mission or if you need it was a supporter of i think the population. better for your field. experience if this was to her girl all these years i could sit there all it seemed like a brother to me but. 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 give them more in them some incentives for small sway me if she were me i. just needed a team that's sixty two people seems. to assemble. it

gets me from that i have that all with me from. a couple of months if. you ever hear me back from this time together before the awful for the future together. an apparent terrorist chemical attack has been reported in syria's aleppo leaving dozens of people injured including children we'll have more on that story after the break. on this on the line circumstances that's

a load for the emergence of this very very eventful 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 minutes we hear. it on the for occasions . what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to. have to go to beatrice it's like when the four three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters and the how. things should.

come back russia has temporarily closed its territorial waters near the crimean peninsula and some patrol aircraft to the sea after ukrainian navy ships sentence that region in what's being described as a deliberate provocation. as the story. 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 craney and the naval ships have been going from the black sea to the as of c. the shortest route is through the carriage straight 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 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 the 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 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 lure of the sea and the treaty between ukraine and the russian federation on cooperation on the use of the as of sea in the coach strait 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. lockheed nobody can go through in either direction not just these ukrainian monitors 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 about. dozens of people including children have been taken to hospital after an apparent chemical attack that targeted the syrian city of aleppo that's according to russia's defense ministry these are images of victims receiving medical treatment they say they had symptoms consistent with chlorine exposure

russian chemical experts were working at the scene of the attack. which defense ministry says that the attack was carried out at nights with the shelling coming from an area controlled by an al qaeda linked group in neighboring province militant commanders in turn deny any involvement insisting they don't have any chemical weapons syria's foreign minister though is calling on the u.n. to condemn and punish the rebels involved in the assault as well as the countries the back the middle east expert our craft believes that we 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. militia called station is used chlorine gas against part of a ball a neighborhood called sheehan 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. donald trump stood more controversy

this week over the murder of journalist to marcus by suggesting his death was the world's fault. maybe the world should be held accountable because the world is a vicious boys world is a very very close white house statement titled standing with saudi arabia claims the whole truth behind to show just killing might never be known it adds action has already been taken and saudi arabia remains a steadfast partner especially when it comes to countering iran and foreign minister javad zarif called trump's words shameful mr trump bizarrely devotes the first paragraph of his shameful statement on saudi atrocities to accusing iran of every sort of malfeasance you can think of perhaps who are also responsible for the california fires because we didn't help break the forests just like the finns do. saudi officials eventually admitted khashoggi was killed in their istanbul consulate last month in a claimed rogue operation riyadh denied any awareness of the planned killing but it

has charged eleven officials washington sanctioned seventeen saudi individuals for their alleged role in the killing jobs assistance saudi arabia is a key partner in fighting iran has sparked an angry reaction from the media with some suggesting that the president has caved in to riyadh. however president trump today chose a different path something more along the lines of the world is a very dangerous place and because it is we should let murderers get away with it especially if the murderers are paying us lots of money now we're left to figure out why the president is telling that lie why he's going so far out of its way to cover for the country and specifically the ruler that carried out this killing of a us resident and us journalist question the morality of course are entirely absent as they usually are from u.s. government policy as long as willing to to give big contracts to trump refers to is all the great american companies that are causing so much havoc around the world and i'm sure they're going to continue to kill people this is a this is

a terrible thing president troubles doing. in other defense he found himself at the center of a round between france and italy leaving rome to reconsider learning priceless works for a major exhibition in paris we need to renegotiate everything the french cannot have a talk now not is a talent he only died in france to give the louvre all these paintings would put italy on the margins of a major cultural event the louvre in paris was hoping to borrow some of different she's notable works for a big show in twenty nineteen tomorrow five hundred years since his death and return rome stressed friends should learn something equally important like the mona lisa. into the current agreement the louvre is due to load works by another italian renaissance master raphael for twenty twenty exhibition marking the anniversary of his death he spoke to people in both countries about whether they think the paintings should be shut. up ok they are on

a bus to to. jump off. any diana they sense because he didn't have gone see the saudi arsenal was his meters here evidence that he thought you know i'm sorry david we don't spill some of the media again holby year save us enough for the fans to get a dog you keep them on the. embassy there jani. but if it was if it was told to move you know i shouldn't say i don't feel a audience she dove in and we're not to. see a lot of new fantasy any time but many see me are in a video game what did you. do to get more like. the pretty.

woman going to mean. because some of you know a little less well but i live in a market even bloody you don't need to be on. thanks staying with us here on r.t. international updates coming your way in half an hour. us veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. were going after

the people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the wellbeing of their own soldiers either there already is several generations of them so i just got this memo from the circular defense office says we're going to attack and destroy the government and seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with their money others with their lives if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for a war surely we can risk some discomfort for an easy for. when lawmakers manufacture to send them to public wealth. when the room in clusters protect themselves. with the famous merry go round lifts only the one percent. to

ignore middle of the room signals. the real news is. the world. com. welcome to all the parts of the struggle between the good. evil for the human soul is there all this plot in the history of the bible and almost all the books that came after it how does one make this story which has been told millions of times seem novel and piercing well to discuss that i'm now joined by film director paul

or. thank you very much for your time now we're recording this interview in st petersburg the part of the city that's most associated with. the great russian writer this is where he least 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 the 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 sad to raise those eternal themes in in a new context or do you actually try to add something new to the conversation.

in a way that my movie is so hard to make out of fridge about some you know in my last two movies perfect stranger in the. between the idea of the movie. is a perfect stranger. that we usually. don't know. and. sometimes we don't know ourselves so this is the truth about this to move this. you mentioned the place already and i think in that movie in particular you deal with the same.
