a rotten deal which although not exactly in those words also happens to be the message from brussels i have decided to call european council meeting on thursday we will not renegotiate the deal including the backstop but we are ready to discuss how to facilitate u.k. ratification as time is running out we will also discuss a preparedness for a no deal scenario so instead of surviving a historic parliamentary vote to raise a maze had to ensure his story accumulation and by failing to reschedule the date of the vote she's been accused of running away from. democracy and the answer is the u.k. moves ever closer to the twenty ninth of march the official date of britain's departure from the e.u. that means that m.p.'s are going to be under even more pressure to approve what perhaps they consider to be a bad deal just to avoid a disastrous no deal scenario that if to resume a survives as leader and doesn't get ousted by either her own party or through

3:15 am
already the euro if you don't you're exploding so easy suddenly going to turn it back on your so what the germans are now. we just have to go our own work i don't know i mean it's it's the implications of what you start massive because it means that he's completely turned away from the policies on which he would you go elect. a russian citizen charged with being an illegal foreign agent in the united states has filed a request to change her plea maria burton that was arrested in july this year and is now reportedly expected to plead guilty after her lawyers struck a deal with u.s. prosecutors to define annmarie ability now by counsel and a government by through its attorney respectfully filed 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 maria burton a allegedly infiltrated

3:17 am
they met motivation for this case and its timing. these charges were always politically motivated i think they don't have anything on her and that's why they're left with a pretty nice lee charge but again i think they press these charges and they pressed him at a time when it was very politically sensitive to frankly bolster the whole russia gate scandal which is frankly gone nowhere but they continue to add you know secondary terror cheri charges to make it look like something's there she's been treated very badly in jail kept isolated she's also been subjected to regular body cavity searches searches what she has claimed amounts of sexual assault they appear to be ukraine's latest controversy posting a photograph of himself on the line with a soldier wearing a nazi style insignia we got that story coming up after this short break stay with us.
3:18 am
i've been saying the numbers. they matter us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime stamps. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be rich each week sixty percent market thirty percent one of your own with four hundred to five hundred three per second for shirt and one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remembering one
3:19 am
you know or to miss the one and only. welcome back now a photo of ukrainian president petro poroshenko standing alongside a leech troops has caused outrage online highlight it was one month standing to the rights of the president and if you take a closer look you can see the insignia of a nazi s.s. death division on his vest well photos were posted on the president's official pages and all still left we also the presidential administration of ukraine to comment on the photo but so far they've chosen not to respond the division made up a part of nazi germany's military during the second world war it was initially
3:20 am
formed from concentration camp dogs and. believed to be involved in the mass murder of polish civilians and a massacre of british soldiers during the battle of wrong and this is not the first case nazi imagery has appeared among the ukrainian forces. battalion which is a ukrainian national guard regiment who uses a logo very similar to another the nazi german military symbol however officials in kiev have denied that is any connection. to her or. her. i.
3:21 am
still president told the media company your voice of america thinks the ukrainian leader may be pandering to far rights movements to gain their support ahead of next year's election what is trying to do is curry favor with the folks that you believe are going to support him in his reelection coming in january he's not polling very strongly he's also looking potentially to gain access to armament to defend his position and maintain martial law by reaching out across into nato and while nato allies might think that they are protecting a sovereign nation when in fact they're doing is they're going to eventually fund and arm a nazi coalition that will again repeat history from what we saw in nazi germany if they need to to take a page out of what we do in this country which is we are constantly monitoring for far right activity in our own military forces ukrainians need to do the same thing particularly in this instance is maintain vigilance for that far right movement
3:22 am
because we do not want to see a repeat of what happened in world war two the. mount a far right move that you're seeing in ukraine is so miniscule that it's 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 a bigger piece of cancer and we saw that back in nazi germany and this is the beginning of what can potentially be another history repeating itself story. the pentagon has acknowledged that millions of dollars in u.s. taxpayers money has been lost to the saudi led campaign in yemen that's despite recent polls suggesting that americans have a negative view on the military operation the u.s. defense department put the huge loss down to accounting error as it came to light after the atlantic magazine obtained information from the defense department more picks up the story. what comes to dealing with america's allies the trumpet
3:23 am
ministration has one great fear paying too much money you want to say maybe you can have to pay many nations ovett sums of money from past years and it is very unfair to the united states they're not paying their bills well there is one war in which the united states has been paying well beyond its fair share according to the department of defense saudi airplanes and airplanes from the united arab emirates have been refueling themselves at the expense of the american taxpayers apparently it's all due to an accounting error u.s. central command recently reviewed its records and found errors in accounting where the department of defense for to charge this sort. adequately for fuel and refueling services now it's quite an expensive mistake the costs are still being added up but apparently it's in the millions of dollars u.s. aerial refueling assistance was provided to the saudi led coalition for more than
3:24 am
three point five use activities that likely cost tens of millions of dollars we must ensure that u.s. taxpayers a fully reimbursed for that support the united states uses k c one thirty five strato tankers and k.c. ten extenders to refuel planes mid air a mere hour of work with these aircraft costs over ten thousand dollars now these refueling were stopped in mid november but that was after over two thousand operations had been carried out in which the united states was helping the saudis to wage their war against yemen and that is not a popular war seventy five percent of the u.s. public according to the latest polling doesn't want the country to be involved but u.s. government officials seem to think differently we do believe that the support for the coalition is necessary it sends a wrong message if we discontinue our support but what the u.s. public wants doesn't seem to be of concern in the united. remains highly involved with the saudi coalition as it wages its widely condemned war against its neighbor
3:25 am
caleb mopp and r t new york we spoke to a journalist said david lindorff who claims that the pentagon is wasteful and a constant risk of fruit. the pentagon's accounting is so crazy and so incompetent and also corrupt that. the numbers are actually frequently being just made up year after year the pentagon has been on the list of high risk of fraud waste and abuse and then has this huge amount of money being spent on fueling these saudi jets bombing yemen and they aren't even i mean it's bad enough that they're doing it but then they're not charging saudis who have endless money for the us doing all of that air tanker refueling you know and but it's it's not necessary spending so they've been able to keep jacking their budgets
3:26 am
. through these accounting gimmicks if you say your thoughts on stories by following us on social media we'll be back at the top of the hour with the latest headlines join us then i think. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in his own spearing dramatic and developing the only relief i'm going to desist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. he has these acing. i think they're going to be cheap. and then he went through all the countries let's idea is the right call it was comforting and he said to give

3:29 am
imax guys are there says that guys are a part going to be talking about predatory oh yeah they're out there. so if you were going to look at predatory lending in this first segment here you know you could kind of look at china as a predatory lender to america because once again our trade deficit with china has soared them our trade deficit in general is up fifty five point five billion last month so it's. people continue to predatory lending america. you know i don't know if pay them back but i want to look at this headline because deval patrick has dropped out of the running he was in the running to be the nominee for you know the democrats he was going to run to be the democratic nominee for two thousand and twenty and obama was pushing him so i want to look at the story of.
3:30 am
just what you know the likes of obama what they think is acceptable in this day and age for a candidate deval patrick foreclosure mogul how the twenty twenty democratic presidential contender helped a republican billionaire rip off the middle class basically they talk about the fact that deval patrick who you know was governor for massachusetts for a while and beloved there despite his entire record he had to help rolan are now who had at one point been under investigation when he ran a long beach mortgage company. for basically predatory practices towards african-american population and then he went on to found after that a company called america so ameriquest was one of the biggest subprime mortgage lenders they basically ran and tired predatory operation of driving a lot of middle class especially african-americans in.
