thanks for joining us here on all the international live from the daniel hawkins revue watson arts welcome to the program. as a reason why i will get to keep her job staying on as the british prime minister after surviving a confidence vote in her leadership conservative party rebels forced the vote for handling of the bricks in negotiations after the results came in the prime minister gave a short speech outside ten downing street. i'm pleased to have received the backing of my colleagues in tonight's pilot well so i'm grateful for the support a significant number of colleagues did calls to post against me and i've listened to what they say. following this but we now need to get on with the job of delivering bricks it for the british people and building a better future for this country all eyes were on this vote being cast tonight and while within the last several hours there were predictions that theresa may could just get away with this this is certainly
7:03 pm
a better number than was expected and probably than even she expected herself we have seen about tory party members have expressed confidence in theresa may as prime minister two hundred votes have been tast in support one hundred seventeen against this means a majority of eighty three votes this is just slightly under two thirds of votes cast she only needed one hundred fifty nine to win this challenge being brought against her so certainly a win for to rescind me who now gets to stick around and as she describes it get on with it for better or worse meaning this deadlock and chaos in terms of still where exactly this breaks it is going continuing to remain we know that for the next twelve months she won't be able to be contested as a leader again which means bracks it either shape or form is still going to be
7:04 pm
taking place with her as prime minister leading the way so that it is now settled for the moment however some people and analysts have been seeing here in westminster tonight that despite having gone through and won this particular vote she still has lost vote has lost confidence within her parliament already because keep in mind this is the conservative. marty only voting on this issue she still has tons and tons and tons of resistance within the house of commons when it comes to her deal that she's been able to negotiate with the e.u. so far of course if you remember just on tuesday of all was supposed to take place where it had to be postponed because theresa may realize she wouldn't be able to push that deal through you know she's been to the european union to try to resuscitate that deal and try to potentially come up with something else to bring back home that also didn't go too well so for now what is clear is that theresa may
7:05 pm
is going to get to stick around and continue this path she has been on. at the moment but it's increasingly unclear what kind of a sheep that is going to be taking once and if it does happen at the deadline. as frost i were four people have been arrested police continue to hunt for the gunman behind tuesday night terror attack near christmas market in strassburg two people died in that shooting kevin i discussed the story earlier with our europe correspondent speed sort of a shot at dubin ski. let's just bring you up to date with the latest figures on that two people have died in that attack which took place in strasburg last night a third person is said to have been severely injured in terms of brain injury and is essentially being pronounced brain dead and twelve other people have been
7:06 pm
injured in various states including six of those who are said to be in such a critical condition it's not yet clear if they're going to be able to pull through from this attack we met relatives outside at the hospital so some people crying sitting down comforting each other just trying to get to grips of how this could happen yet again now the one family that we spoke to told us about one of the victims who was one of those killed in that attack saying to us that you know he'd gone to the christmas market with his family with his wife his three children and his wife had taken the children for a bathroom break and when they got back he had been short really shocking horrible story they describe as being a wonderful father and said that he would be sorely missed. a relative died in an inhumane way it's very difficult tragic when someone close to you dies he was here
7:07 pm
with his children and his wife on the street. was a nice person very nice to everyone he helped everyone commands wife is crying a lot this is very difficult for her and for the children because they're very small there are three of them the children were with kemar when it happened and the christmas market his wife and children went to the bathroom and he was shot the mayor of strasburg who was visiting the hospital a little bit earlier today also give information about the other individual who is killed in that attack he said it was a tourist from thailand to come also for the christmas market and we understand that one of those who is lightly injured last night was an italian journalist. today in strasburg there have been small memorials popping up at some of the places where. shooting and the twenty nine year old trying to knife some people as the lighting candles leaving flowers and just people in complete shock and disbelief that this happened at strasburg and this happened just before christmas
7:08 pm
at the christmas market show an emotional three were those are the kids going to go through come to christmas know how they're going to remember in the future charlotta burns constrains both thank you risk across the board unknown to germany peter all of us there are europe correspondent. well it seems this suspect had a criminal record there too what's happening where you are and what's been said the german interior ministry has confirmed to r.t. that the main suspects the man who's being sought for tuesday's terrorist attack had been jailed here in germany for non terrorist crimes he was subsequently deported back to france following that stint in prison. it can be confirmed that mr c's permission to remain in germany was revoked in the wake of a criminal conviction by the city of fry bank that's depriving him of the right of entry and residence in germany he was deported from germany to france where well as a major operation by the police under way in france there's also a manhunt underway here in germany is well in fact four states are involved in the
7:09 pm
zala and the rhineland button verdant bergen even as far east as bavaria all involved in police looking out to see if this man has fled across the border into germany there is also roadblocks all that border stretch between france and germany near to stroudsburg of course stars book itself right on the border between france and germany police checking cars that have been delays going back for a while we have heard from the prosecutors who've painted the picture well more of a picture of what happened on tuesday evening due to all these considering who target the perpetrators way of his profile and the testimonies of those who how the human you know. and to terror police have been called into action terrorism has once again struck our country in strasburg reminding us in a dramatic fashion that the threat is still very real by this manhunt is still very
7:10 pm
much an ongoing situation what police understand what they've released to the press so far into the public is that this is a twenty nine year old man who comes from stroudsburg he's been named in french press and here in germany as c. they say that they're looking for him as well as his brother sami he has a criminal record it is said here in germany also in france he was on terror watch lists in france for the most important fact about him right now is that he remains at large. here's a quick recap of how that fateful night's events on tuesday unfolded. you don't want you know i saw a lot of people running they were terrified children were crying so i realized something terrible was happening and people said there was a shooting right next door so i ran to. the scene.
7:11 pm
and i knew on that i was on my way to the city center with a friend but the road was blocked and we couldn't go further someone told us there was a gunman shouldn't it people and we couldn't even get back home so we ended up being stuck here. for my head of britain's national counterterrorism security office told us he believes the attack might be part of a bigger picture needed just a point about this is what there's so many interesting points but one is the prisons where he was potentially radicalized but also. could be that this is actually a much bigger attack it was planned and it's been interrupted early on in the in the stages of preparation these things will get through terrorist like this will get through this guy it appears has been someone that maybe wasn't going to attack straight away but has been pushed into it bobbie in being found in possession of
7:12 pm
these weapons there's an awful lot of people out there and for the french police to have to deal with that along saw all these riots alongside all the other terrorist forms or go to the country this is a big ask for the security services. time magazine has picked its person of the year but it's not one individual this time it's actually several journalists a lawyer some have raised eyebrows right guys they have has the story. as prestigious dominations go time's person of the year is right up there this time around the nomination was shared between journalists and not your regular run of the mill pundits no rather those persecuted who's made to suffer for their work and while one would have few questions about the nomination of jamal has short who is tortured renders the murdered and carried out of the saudi consulate in boxes many are questioning the nomination of. bob genco and time is already
7:13 pm
having to defend itself. clearly had good reason to believe that his life was in danger besides it was not farfetched to believe that the kremlin had dispatched assassins to ukraine if you can't recall what he's most famous for its for thinking his own death with ukrainian government help this year allegedly to catch someone who wanted to kill him ukraine even officially accused russia of his murder as part of the stunt and needless to say it didn't go down well journalists and news agencies all over the world were left red faced after tripping over themselves an order to russia and accuse moscow off the murder the ukrainians then famously said that sherlock holmes also faked his own death a time so that's ok. and to be fair bab genco hasn't exactly done well achieve anything lately what he has done plenty of his quote hate filled facebook
7:14 pm
diatribes. by the way one spoke ill of several journalists killed in a plane crash because of their editorial views ironic that other journalists guardian contributors no less find it odd that a man behind one of the biggest think news pieces in years gets. an award for fighting for truth make no mistake there are plenty of activists and journalists who deserve to be on that cover the opposition activists journalists in asia in africa here in russia everywhere in the world take katharina hands and add to the police corruption activist in ukraine who was killed in an acid attack earlier this year curial. a ukrainian journalist jailed in ukraine amongst crimes
7:15 pm
isn't being russian enough so why go guess time will tell. us is a bracing for a government shutdown off at all trump said he would be proud to take that step if congress refuses to approve funding for his border wall he made that threat during a meeting at the white house with senior democrats. thank you very much it's a great honor to have nancy pelosi with us and chuck schumer with us and. if you want to shout it i only know you're talking about the last time you shut it down oh no and then you won't when you're sorry quickly i don't want to do what you did twenty times call for i will shut down the government if i don't get my will
7:16 pm
none of us if you want to know something you say ok if you want to put that in my set i'll take. keep the cover over the we're going to keep it all married we have four to get married if we don't have border security i think you would like to keep our members are already we're all going to work that we've had for years we confront some of the fact that you know what if we got worse. you it's what i really thought about border security if we don't have. walla walla walla walla walla walla. this is i think the border secure not is the mindset that should we need border security first we need border security people up for into our country including terrorists we have terrorists we could and terrorists over the last very short
7:17 pm
period of time. and. this is horrifying trump palosi insurers just carrying on the argument is if mike brown says to life somebody help. prior to this meeting that i'm to so has rolled in this mike pence wax figure. little.
7:18 pm
i can't explain it to you it was so wild it goes to show you you get into a ticker context with this conch you get a team go all over you. news updates coming in just a minute stay tuned here and i'll take the national. russia today is not the soviet your. judgments against the soviet union that was on . it was they saw the limits. on the speech freedom those three and rights have been restored so much has been accomplished in communist russia that only. idiots can believe that is
7:19 pm
a way but no one wants. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to be rich. but you'd like to be close to see like them before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of how. things should. welcome back to the program and the us is ramping up the pressure on iran secretary of state swat compile address the un security council wednesday. banter on.
7:20 pm
we risk the security of our people of iran continue stocking up on ballistic missiles the united states seeks to work with all other members of the council to reimpose on iran the ballistic missile restrictions outlined in one nine hundred twenty nine. let's cross live now to find a political analyst out of sundra bruno thanks for joining us on the program today doesn't seem like the u.s. is going to let go does it was accusing iran of violating u.n. resolutions with its ballistic missile tests does he have a point here. well he does a point and then he doesn't. the u.n. resolutions do not necessarily ban they do not strictly ban iran from testing missiles they recommend. more what it does. test not be conducted so technically if you really want to be a stickler to the law and they are not by only. at the same time i'm not really
7:21 pm
sure what the us expected when pulled out of the j c p o a the so-called iran deal . over nuclear disarmament so this is the least of the reactions from the iranian regime that week that anyone could have expected a return to. minor hostilities a sign that is ready to prepare and. there's another point i'd like to make before i forget the general who made the announcement that they were going to resume testing of missiles a few days ago or yesterday. is the general of the air force not the general of the iranian revolutionary guards there is a difference revolutionary guards are the ones in charge or the most important of weapons and ballistic missile controls and if if ever you're on the bill of nuclear weapons it would be perhaps a religion or a guard to control them so there is
7:22 pm
a sign from iran that they're pushing the buttons but they're also restraining themselves the u.s. has seen a bit of a rift with europe on the sanctions and on the nuclear deal has been calling for this coalition of responsible nations as he described that given that he's at olds with many of the countries that participated in brokering that deal to start with do you think the u.s. is going to have a lot of support in creating such a coalition. no i think right now europe is still continues to look for ways to trade with iran and bypass the u.s. sanctions and we've seen what happens the u.s. is certainly ready to use them because. the last week chinese company official who are see here for a way was arrested in canada and could be extradited to the united states.
7:23 pm
for you always relations a business deals with iran so the u.s. is going full out and in some ways i think they're also trying to cover up the has our g. mess and also as the war in syria continues to wind down and focus in syria is on reconstruction we will see has more of our will be left. in the americans view to strong arm americans and israelis of course so i think the pressure on iran and its regional allies will only increase from now on just want to touch upon what you just said about the the conflict in syria and iran as regional allies because a key argument of course of compo has been that letting iran go ahead with testing nuclear ballistic testing could actually escalate the conflict in the region do you think there's any truth to that. well it can escalate because it can make things more difficult for those trying to overthrow assad of course so in that
7:24 pm
sense yes having better weapons means that it makes the job of those for minting the civil war the so-called civil war i call it the straight out proxy war in syria. more likely so. and that's one of the reasons of course iran is testing its missiles is because there is a wind an air of attention that could break out any moment now. perhaps. might find his war in the in two thousand one thousand. because growing political problems at home wars are always useful distractions and there are certain regional allies of the united states that can't wait for that to happen so your review being one of them of course all right bruno
7:25 pm
i was under bhutto and by the political analyst thanks for giving us your take today on that iran news. the c.e.o. of google has given some specific numbers on alleged russian meddling in the twenty sixteen u.s. election sundar pichai was question why the u.s. house judiciary committee. because google now know the full extent to which it's online platforms were exploited by russian actors in the election two years ago there are two main ad accounts linked to russia which which you know advertised on google for about forty some one hundred dollars an advertising we also found other limiter a little of forty seven hundred pounds that's right and google along with facebook and twitter have been under scrutiny for the past two years over those russian meddling claims the companies have extensively provocative is the russian link to calyx but no direct proof of meddling has been revealed so far at least legal and
7:26 pm
media analysts lot else says that the latest testimony by google cost doubts over the entire investigation this was their star witness gogol they could have done so much so much had he said he yes there was and inordinate amount of pressure or influence that wrecked adds member on the part of that was russians but no he said or the seven hundred dollars nothing big forty seven you know. that's it you need to tell me that this has been this subject it is embarrassing now since two thousand and sixteen they have not found one example not one bit of evidence not one scintilla of fact showing that russia actually significantly affected the election and it's sort of realizing i think we should maybe back off
7:27 pm
this i think maybe we should go to some other type of theory as to why she lost because there's no there there there's no russian connection no no they double down why are they insisting upon trying to dig up something in an issue where there's nothing there. ok that's it for myself on the team for this hour join us again in thirty minutes though for the latest global news updates and now of course next. when the make this manufacture consent to step into the public will. when the
