5:07 am
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 a historic humiliation and by failing to reschedule the date of the vote she has been accused of running away from democracy and this 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 n.p.c. 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

discreetness to force us to accept the european union if we accept on the terms that the black city years of the d p s's mina's allies wish then it will mean a return to a hard border it will mean the diminishing the owner may not the be trade agreement which of course is the underpins our peace process and it will mean that the jobs will be lost investment will be lost we will jeopardize the progress that we have me in terms of our peace progress on in terms of reconciliation over twenty years so for all reasons we're against borders we don't believe that backstop special status for the north of ireland which is can t. and that the agreement we don't believe that will lead to a hard border and the r.e.c. the constitutional issue and released united out will be decided on another day. the french president is trying to quell weeks of violence by offering an olive

5:17 am
motivated i think they don't have anything on her and that's why they're left with a pretty nice the 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 shiri 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 search searches which she has claimed amounts of sexual certainly appear to be. so it's a con this hour at the pentagon has admitted u.s. taxpayers money was spent on feeling jets for a saudi cut the saudi count paid in yemen well that with more that more on that twice after this break stay with us.

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 the united states remains highly involved with the saudi coalition as it wages its widely condemned war against its neighbor. r.t. new york. we spoke to journalist david lindorff who claims the pentagon is wasteful and at constant risk of fraud. 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 his this huge amount of money being spent on fueling these saudi jets spawning yemen and they aren't even i mean spend enough that they're doing it but then they're not charging saudis who have endless money for the u.s. 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. through these accounting gimmicks thanks for joining us on our international web back with the latest at the top of the out as my colleague keenan any how. prosecution will need to become almost. a full on design. where you
