through your skin in your most down. there is no really. sure. what the word. was. the prime minister says have breck's it planned then knocks a bright future off to. toss the deal buts to reason may faces an uphill battle to get a hostile parliament on his side. in the stories that shape the week violence spills on to the streets of france as to gas and water cannon they used against yellow vests protesters who've been making

astounds the petrol prices. but the difficulty opening my eyes right now and that's because we've just been in the midst of all this tear gas. flying high for twenty is the international space station celebrates two decades of pioneering research we gave behind the scenes and taken to its amazing achievement . you're watching the weekly national a roundup of the global stories to shape the week. leaders have agreed to withdrawal deal with british prime minister to resign may the agreements will now have to go through the british parliament where it faces an uphill struggle to get its approval and peace as well as the nation as a. all remain deeply divided on the issue but may says she's still optimistic the

british people will get behind to 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 indorse 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 you for just getting to the house of commons. this infant should wish this is the best. we can to 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 to be trying to sell us. a deal that is

already. in the water the reason why the people of this country are so fed up is because they've been made so many promises none of which are being delivered to them because they homes be delivered to them well it certainly looks this looks like the balance of opinion on this issue is not tipping into recent days fever 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 is 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. believes to resume a faces an impossible task of getting him. i'm afraid when this comeback comes back to the commons i think she's got a very real show i mean we know today from ali foster from the baby they're not going to back it so that's a tense vote. trees a main power of the moment out of the window jenny call one today has said labor will not vote for a tourist boat bricks and remain as well as in the commons will reject it i think should have no choice then but to resign if she doesn't resign of course there'll

be a vote of no confidence. has to be almost agreed to tony blair not about having another us friend but he made the point that this isn't the breaks that we've voted for no matter which show your. true janelle she's got any possible trust she's going to fail in my opinion. francaise been hit by a week a furious demonstrations against hikes in fuel prices led by protestors wearing bright yellow safety vests around eighty thousand demonstrators vented their anger on saturday nationwide with violence flaring up in paris take gas water cannon and fire has created chaos throughout the week charlotte defense case been travelling a cost across the country including to the capital where she was caught up in the clashes. hit as you can see behind me there are a group of around one hundred yellow vests wearers these are trying to block

a druid's or roundabouts like this 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 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 no 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 i want to change the system. it's getting a little rowdy know as you can see the yellow best protesters had taken over this section know the roads and they are now completely in control of it and trying to stop the traffic. at sardis street

to the entrance of the ellie's a price rise you can see take gas is being fired by the police that's as the protesters were trying to enter into that streets to get closer it seriously ellie's a perilous. 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 take us as you can see eyes red 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

street seems to the to gaston to protest this it really is absolutely crazy here on the streets of paris. thank you this is a roaches of the old details 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 are all hugely angry at this situation and the fact that the president is still refused to meet them to discuss the problems of this country. hundred thirty protesters who were detained across the country on saturday forty two of them in paris some thirty people were injured on tuesday french president and manu micron is expected to address the issues raised in the protests 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 of the 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 if some western media are to be believed they accuse a russian cartoon series which has been a hit around the world of being designed to sway young minds. picks up the story. that little sweetheart was marsha 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 kinds of.

things. 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 puppet is funny steep. but also a plucky she punches above her weight is not far fetched to see as putin s. but it seemed to be particularly worried about one scene in a single episode where moshe is 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 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 disguised 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 try but we're not it turns out the bear itself is a representation of russia as a whole you see bear you think russia right the biggest symbol is russia it's a fact it's a struggle for the minds part of a hybrid explosion 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. the bear are not coming to invade your home like masha and the thing is hybrid. british empire just

sums up that it's a. minute you don't want there they don't seem to be particularly indoctrinated. i really really do not want to read more about how masha used to his propaganda. and i can confirm that i watched two episodes in there when i was nine. i suddenly became a twitter party speaks russian. cheese day 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 boards have this message. you don't usually. even. more than two hundred people from eighteen countries have visited the space

station over beers it's become an example of close international cooperation not least a beacon of warming relations between two bits of cold war rivals here's a look at how the russian u.s. friendship develops to the men and. so you would ski american ski is enough to get the. jets you let it beat you to. structure your book yet. you more. than that in the.

submission or do you need it with supporters of i think the population rather better or performing or real. difference if there's less to bird girl elders iraq and so there are lots and lots really are all for a brother for 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 learn. some more money interesting and doesn't just give you more in them some this new ideas for falsely media if she were me. looking at you some which is can immediately see me in the booth and sixty two people could be seen still each

two or three in similar. we have a bill to make from that not always me from the. cut at the top of the cliff and it's up to. the others here actually who has put them together for the possible for the future of the other. and a parent's terrorist chemical attack has been reported in syria's aleppo leaving dozens

of people injured including children more on that right after the break. lucky. to. live. live. unless you're on the line circumstances that's a loud for the emergence of this very very lengthy 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 military. and on the for cations. welcome back to the program russia says its forces detained three ukrainian navy ships on sunday after they carried out quote dangerous maneuvers off the coast of crimea and refused to leave the coach straits the russian federal security service has issued the following statement about the incident. criminal proceedings over the illegal state border crossing has been initiated under the russian criminal code so it's important to highlight the ukraine is

a way of the procedures regulating the navigation of navy ships through the territorial waters of the russian federation and the currency in a colleague they have previously followed these procedures for peaceful maneuvering . most case says that shots were fired during the detention and that it provides medical medical assistance to three craning servicemen ukraine's president petro poroshenko has called on his country's parliament to consider declaring a state of war in response to the incident both russia and ukraine have requested imagine see un security council session. of house more details. really geographies a everything is happening as you've just mentioned right off the coast of the korean peninsula that is the main factor so what's been happening is the korean naval ships have been going from the black sea see the shortest route through the courage 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 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 us to syria 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 clear has been citing also the articles of the un charter saying that they do give them the right of passage through those waters

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 and the coach straight russian border ships carried out a frankly aggressive action against the vessels of the navy of the armed forces of ukraine russia has moved in a civilian tanker over there and just to position did right across the strait and so it is physically blockaded nobody can go through in either direction on these three ukrainian no warships but also civilian vessels as well dozens of people are currently gathered outside the russian embassy in kiev protesting against russia's attention of the ukrainian vessels the demonstrators are burning paper ships and tires and chanting anti kremlin slogans some of the protesters have thrown flares at the building. 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 symptoms consistent with chlorine exposure russian chemical experts are working at the scene of the attack the rest. the fence ministry says the attack was carried out at night with a shelling coming from an area controlled by an al qaeda linked group in neighboring edna province minutes and commandos intend to ny any involvement insisting they don't have any chemical weapons syria's foreign ministry though who is calling on the u.n. to condemn and punish the rebels involved in the assault as well as the countries that backed them janice patrick henningsen told us he doesn't believe the incident will receive much media attention. they don't care because the attack is coming from the wrong side as it were if you check the mainstream media coverage globally

it's a nonevent and if you also check the so-called opposition media side in syria of course they're saying that well that it could be a plot by the regime so no surprise there and these so-called rebels have the means the motive and the opportunities to carry out chemical attacks against syrian civilians the narrative is now set up they could do maybe a more elaborate production inside lip and then blame the so-called regime for retaliate in like for like you know the words the rebels do a ramshackle makeshift chemical attack in the so-called regime of the russians backing the regime do a big chemical attack a syrian or major chlorine attack and this would be filmed in this would be all over c.n.n. in the mainstream media. donald trump says more control the see this week over the matter of journalists jamal khashoggi by suggesting his death was the world's fault

we should be held accountable. maybe the world should be held accountable because the world is a vicious boys world is a very very vicious blows a white house state spends title standing with saudi arabia times the whole truth behind khashoggi schelling might never be known it's has that action. it has already been taken and saudi arabia remains a steadfast partner especially when it comes to countering iran iran's foreign minister sorry courtroom sway it's shameful. mr trump bizarrely devotes the first paragraph of his shameful statement on saudi atrocities to accusing iran of every sort of malfeasance he can think of perhaps who are also responsible for the california fires because we didn't break the forests just like the finns do. saudi officials eventually admitted he was killed in the east on bill clinton last month and they claimed rogue operation riyadh's has denied any awareness of the plant

killing has charged eleven officials washington has sanctioned seventeen saudi individuals for that alleged role in the killing. trump's insistence saudi arabia is a key partner in fighting iran has sparked an angry reaction from the media with some suggesting the president has caved in to riyadh however president trump today chose a different path something more along the lines of the world of the very dangerous place 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 this way to cover for the country and specifically the ruler that carried out this killing of a u.s. resident and us journalist question the morality of course are entirely absent as they usually are from u.s. government policy as long as those willing to to give big contracts to. do with all the great american companies that are causing so much havoc around the

world i'm sure they're going to continue to kill people this is a this is a terrible thing president troubles doing. you know today some of the news that shaped the week i'll be back in fifteen minutes with more of the week's top stories . join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy loon foundation let it be an arms race is on offer and it's very dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be

successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. with nor make this manufacture consent to student of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go round to listen to the one percent. that's not going to nor middle of the room sick. to lose any real news is really. nobody could see coming that false confessions would be that profile in this population of lawful coverage if you had any interrogation out there what you'll see is threat

guns welcome to worlds apart in the struggle between good and evil for the human soul is that all this plot in the history of the sun chilled to 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 a novel and piercing well 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 according to center view 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 south many of his novels i wonder if that place feels any special. the. most important thing about this is. this. you months will. be. with this is the.

i think this is the common point many of your films deal with the same themes that for centuries old writings. 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 into the conversation. or try to say something new. inexpensive always my movie is hard try to make out a fridge about some team i know in my last two movies perfect stranger in the plays who is a kind of. between the idea of the movie and the reflection is a perfect stranger. that we usually some time.
