a very fractious house of commons confirming that vote has been delayed it must of been humiliating for her to concede that her deal that she'd been talking up she said it would be voted down and that she will now go to brussels in an attempt to renegotiate certain elements of the deal is she actually calls that to seek assurances over the contentious issue of the irish backstop in the future of the irish or they take a listen to what she had to say i've listened very carefully to what has been said in this chamber and. from listening to those views it is clear that while there is broad support for many of the key aspects of the g. yes on one issue on one issue the northern backstop remains widespread and deep concern we will therefore defer the coach actually for tomorrow. and not proceed to divide the house. at this time the
8:09 pm
challenge. it's almost the result of the referendum. doest this house wants to deliver bricks it. a clear message from the s.n.p. but. does it want to do so through reaching an agreement with the e.u. be honest that this risks dividing the country again. time wise to resume a says that she wants to go and visit e.u. leaders and the european commission before this week's e.u. summit but still not clear specifically when that's going to be but she wants to discuss changes and address and piece concerns but we don't have
8:10 pm
a date for every new devote to when this vote will now take place and that is a great source of anger among politicians in the chamber many of them with desperate to finally have that say on this rather chaotic gregg's that process make claims that she's listened to critics and to the concern that people have and that she's going to do everything she can to seek assurances from the e.u. over the issue of the irish stop well a lot of people would say that she didn't listen that she should have those in her own party will say she should have postponed this vote on this say that this wasn't a deal that they wanted a toll and that's what the leader of the labor opposition party jeremy corbin had to say the government is in disarray uncertain is building for business people are in despair at this stage of these failed negotiations the prime minister is trying to buy herself one last chance to save this deal if she doesn't take on
8:11 pm
board the fundamental. changes required then she must make way for those who can m.p. off to m.p. after to resume a statement lined up desperate to get in that ostensibly that questions to the prime minister but really indignant criticisms of how she has handled this negotiation process as of yet no date for the vote the prime minister planning to tweak or not renegotiate but seek a sure it says on some elements of the deal which calls the m.p.'s in the chamber of already dismissed as not good enough and a deal that brussels has already said that it's going to refuse to renegotiate broadcaster and former m.p. george galloway says teresa mayes attempts to improve her brigs a deal will be doomed to failure this is not bricks that she's proposing and therefore a good one hundred of our own m.p.'s will never vote for whatever reassurances she
8:12 pm
brings but it's a bit it's a bit like jim waving his piece of paper promising peace in our time the leaders clearly smell blood this meld blood in the form of a second referendum which they hope would lead to a reversal of the last referendum result whether or not they're right about that it would still leave millions of people very bitter and angry it would risk peace and really if the first referendum is somehow a mold i think the most likely outcome is treason may being overthrown by her own army her own party and the new prime minister returning to you square one there are plenty of people in the wings waiting boris johnson even gore is here for the occasion just to loot prime ministerial and he's churchill's biographer. russian citizen maria who has been charged in the us of being an illegal foreign agent has filed a request to change her plea
8:13 pm
a hearing on the motion is scheduled for wednesday. defined. by counsel and a government by and through its attorney respectfully found this joint motion to set a change of plea hearing in the above caption matter and request a hearing at the court's earliest convenience we understand that this has been filed and they are requesting a hearing in which she can then change the police people are jumping to some pretty strong conclusions the press has been speculating that she may be ready to plead guilty however that's just that's a pretty strong conclusion to jump to now at the moment it would be possible for her to perhaps change your plea to no contest maria bettina she has been charged with being an agent allegedly of the russian government and trying to infiltrate the politically powerful national rifle association and at first it was put forward that she had been in town to act with intelligence officers and that she'd been trading favors for sex however prosecutors dropped the charge of espionage at this
8:14 pm
point are simply charging her with being an unregistered lobbyist failing to report herself as a foreign agent now she's denied all charges said that she is not guilty and after her arrest she was denied she was denied bail and she was held pending pending trial so she's been in federal prison awaiting trial this entire time since her arrest appears that pretty soon we will be seeing tina in federal court and that she will be having a hearing regarding a change of police there's a many many different possibilities about what this could mean a change of police that seems to be what is coming up and we'll have to wait and see what happens in the courtroom when maria bhutto's father valerie buton or for larry tonight excuse me has denied reports of a plea deal with u.s. prosecutors you sent a written statement to our t.v. . there have been media reports on an upcoming pleads eells between maria and us
8:15 pm
federal prosecutor says i have no such information and any such claims without possession of the case materials meant to violating the law the reports that she's due to get us citizenship appear fantasy or simply lies from the media or elsewhere we are critically short of money for maria boots in his legal defense and we need support during three out of the five months of maria's detention she's been in solitary confinement because in his psychological and physical harm it's hard to tell how long a person can in just such torture. representatives of more than one hundred sixty countries agreed on monday to adopt of the united nations global migration pact at a meeting in america however some e.u. states as well as the us refused to attend. salo with what they've been those who were in attendance were intending in what they were attending for the migration pact the un migration pact to set out to put in place a framework for
8:16 pm
a global solution or at least to try and get a global solution to tackling migration one of those world leaders that was in attendance was the german chancellor angela merkel. the whole migration pipes idea was roundly supported here in germany only the right wing opposition alternative for germany spoke out against it they had this to say the migration pact to contains lots of political commitments and leads to more migrants entering germany but it proved far more toxic elsewhere another of the big names in attendance from europe was the belgian prime minister shot in a shell and now he in fact lost his well governing coalition because of this migration pact on sunday the right wing flemish nationalists that were helping to give him a ruling majority in the belgian parliament walked out of the coalition over this issue in slovakia the foreign minister. he threatened to resign over it it was only when assurances were made that bratislava would main would remain closely aligned
8:17 pm
to both the and nato when it came to issues of migration did he agree to well pull back that resignation and in fact in countries such as canada we're seeing quite big demonstrations against this pact. was. it was the united states australia austria the czech republic hungry amongst many others have also said they wouldn't be signing this deal in fact the un secretary general he outlined exactly what was meant by this non-binding agreement the compact is. not. moreover it is not legally binding it is a framework for an international corporation rooted in an intergovernmental process of negotiation in good face and it's that wording this perhaps led to
8:18 pm
a lot of nations being unwilling to sign it because why sign up to something if it isn't binding in the first place the japanese government has stopped buying equipment from the chinese take jaguar way over security concerns that's very much more after a short break this is art international. you know world of big partisan movies lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream 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 truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.

8:20 pm
that italian people benefit from the lifting of sanctions even after the us this intervene for some of the sections i would expect this instrument to be established in the coming weeks before the handover here as a way to protect and to promote a legitimate business with the fact itself that the e.u. is taking this step and that's already made some symbolic expressions of support for the deal to maintain a deal is really important in itself we should not forget that the stones allies within the e.u. the conservatives of forces are also in favor of maintaining this deal with iran after inc it's going to come this mechanism but we should not overestimate its possible consequences now big companies in our car companies or others are going to do they're going to do do do do do best and not stop dealing trade with iran anyway
8:21 pm
because they're going to maintain their biggest trade barn but for some smaller e.u. companies who for example only have to agree dealings with the near asia or with iran specifically they will benefit from this deal in the they will. iran has warned that u.s. sanctions could have a catastrophic impact on the fight against drugs and terrorism parties and interests that it takes up the story for us. trump iran sanctions three words all a little too familiar to the world although washington aimed sanctions at tehran it's european companies who have felt the impact all those sanctions may have closed the door to european businesses they could apparently open another to the flow of drugs. i warn those who impose sanctions that if iran's ability to fight drugs and terrorism are affected you will not be safe from a daily use of drugs asylum seekers bombs and terrorism in case you didn't know

8:24 pm
on the photo but have not yet received a response the death head division was a part of nazi germany's military during the second world war it was initially formed from concentration camp guards and was involved in the mass murder of polish civilians and a massacre of british soldiers during the battle of france and this is not the first case of nazi imagery being used by ukrainian forces. the as battalion which is a ukrainian national guard regiment uses a logo very similar to another nazi german military symbol however the kiev officials have denied there is any connection. because.
8:25 pm
the. was. an vendor steel president of the media company your voice america thinks the ukrainian leader may be pandering to far right movements to gain their support ahead of next year's election. clearly what i was trying to do is curry favor with the folks that he believes are going to support him in his reelection coming in january he's not polling very strongly but i believe he's definitely pandering to the far right because he thinks that not only can gain the votes there but i think he's also looking potentially to find the funding ukrainians need to maintain vigilance for that far right movement because we do not want to see a repeat of what happened in world war two you do not want to see the rise of the far right party the amount a far right movement you're seeing in ukraine is not going to necessarily create problems today but the problem with that is there's no such thing as a little bit of cancer a little bit of cancer if it's ignored it gets to be

foreign minister some on both the canadian and the u.s. some boss it is a make clear opposition to the issue we hope that the governments of the two states take this seriously as for what the severe consequences will be but the voice foreign minister warned off when we see the canadian ambassador i can tell you that it's totally depends on the canadian. well way is the world's largest producer of telecommunications equipment and a second largest smartphone manufacturer hong kong based political scientist just chang believes both japan and the u.s. want to limit the firm's growing reach. since twenty fourteen the american government has been warning. ration agencies in the united states to use huawei you. british telecom has also to its prey's huawei you quitman in the coming two years and now. and also a new seed in trying to avoid losing. money so this apparently is
