it was. a. poor job. for just twelve euros fifty. the russian foreign ministry to the b.b.c. saying its work smacks of cynicism after leaks messages from one of the reporters says i read it is are out for blood in their attempts to find links between the kremlin and the yellow vest movement in france. may says the vote on the
1:01 pm
e.u. divorce deal will now take place in the third week of january but it comes amid reports some in her own cabinet are plotting to force another breaks it. and luxury fashion giant prada is accused of racism after selling figurines and with big lips and we put the issue of it completely wrong when you let people determine what subject to the best you're looking for censorship you're looking for the site. it's nine o'clock and you're watching all international live from moscow studio with me. to the program. the russian foreign ministry has lashed out at the b.b.c. calling it cynical after messages were leaked from a correspondent looking into the possible connections between moscow and the yellow vest movement in france in one of the reporters that messages it's claimed her
1:02 pm
editors were quote out for blood. well maybe some russian business is capitalizing greatly on the protests maybe the protesters eating cutlass or mass may be the far right who really does their i'm looking for angles yes the editors demand blood link messages were published by russia's at ria novosti news agency it comes just a week after a number of media outlets allege that russian bots or automated accounts were helping to fuel the anger seen on the streets of france the french authorities have launched an investigation into the claims. the b.b.c. has told r.t. it was reasonable for its news team to look into a potential collection in light of the french government's own statement on this possibility as the french foreign ministry had spoken publicly about media reports of a possible russian influence in the protests it was perfectly reasonable for a correspondent to raise the subject however in the end her reports made no mention
1:03 pm
of a possible connection with russia at all we stand by our impartial independent journalism . we also asked b.b.c. russia if it's still looking for connections between moscow and the french protests and whether the correspondent was under pressure to pursue that particular angle but it declined to comment the russian foreign ministry has criticised the b.b.c. accusing it of acting with cynicism. the cynicism of journalists is amazing we're talking about a company that has propagated all its life an unbiased and then dependent approach and this professionalism is the bitter meat of the media world i have a question for those very british regulators of the media space and the public how did the value of this kind of compilation of the employees of their television and radio companies are doing. we went onto the streets of paris to ask people if they thought russians are somehow interfering. everything is possible nowadays.
1:04 pm
behind. the russians are a behind the us presidency as well so you know. we've asked a number of journalism groups for a comment and we'll bring you any response as soon as we catch them but first we're going to talk to british politician broadcasting rights of george galloway thanks for joining us on the program just to discuss this first i'm interested to hear your take on this story. well of course the people of france wouldn't know their way to the bus deal if president putin didn't show them the way and encourage them to do it the french the most revolutionary people in the and tar continent who over two hundred years ago cut the heads off their own king and queen and thousands of others and who have had a series of revolutions who've dug up the shop silesia for cobblestones or generations wouldn't know the need or the way to rise up against one representative
1:05 pm
government of president putin didn't show them the way it's perfectly absurd now the b.b.c. as you know is a state mouthpiece it is directly funded by the british government through the foreign office through the conflict and stability fund no less it is indirectly funded by a license fee that every person in the country has to pay on pain of imprisonment if they don't even stalin didn't think of that one the british broadcasting corporation is no acme of journalistic impartiality quite to the contrary do you think if we look at the reaction from the russian foreign ministry because the b.b.c. didn't actually run anything because they couldn't find anything that there's been an overreaction. because the message is well or followed by smiley faces when they
1:06 pm
do think there's been a misunderstanding or they've been misinterpreted. i don't think so here we are living in this country in an era when our pensioners are cold in the wintertime many of our children are hungry our country is in the grip of an enormous constitutional crisis and war our finest journalists doing their closeted with our intelligence services all over expensive dinners at the public expense to. about russia so smiley face or no the truth is our media class has allowed itself to become trapped in russell full b.-a when everything about us is falling around our ears luckily the british people are on to them if you go out onto the streets of britain today to the food banks to the shivering pension arse and ask them if putin is to blame for their terrible state of affairs assure you
1:07 pm
they won't be in moji in laughter but probably something much angrier than that yeah i mean obviously if we look at the the months we've had of anti russian narrative in in the press do you think then that there's still traction there in the u.k. to believe essent the british public a clearing up but in reality do they still believe what they're reading what they're saying what they're listening to. well some of them may and of course in the bubble what the americans would call inside the beltway in the media political class bubble it is absolutely endemic and they're writing actually forty jobs are broadcasting forty each other the big revelation over the last couple of weeks is that the british government is using public money to pay for or to pay for the c.e.o. of this information misinformation hostile attacks on the loyal opposition in
1:08 pm
parliament who by the way might be the government by the time we next speak because germany corbin's just tabled the moment of no confidence now russia's foreign ministry they've. they intend to register a complaint with the l.s.e. over this matter that we've just been discussing do you think the organization will respond to violence when the complaint is laws to or indeed take any action. i'm certain that they want to carry action but they will have to respond to it and i'm glad that russia has gone on to the front foot on this if you turn yourself into a punch bag and just absorb blow off their blow off their blow then it's going to eventually stop your international position it's quite right that russia is exposing what is a full spectrum effort to discredit weaken and damage russia and
1:09 pm
a time when it's pretty cold here and we could do with some more russian gas it is utterly illogical it's as inexplicable as it is absurd and offensive ok george thanks very much for talking about this on our program thanks so much george galloway there politician broadcaster and writer. british prime minister tres m a has said the much anticipated vote on our budget deal will take place in the third week of january just weeks before the country is due to walk from the easy exit door but the opposition labor leader jeremy corbyn is still slamming her deal as an acceptable and accusing the pm of leading the country into a national crisis another vote which would do irreparable damage to the integrity of our politics because it would say to millions who trust it into more prosy that our democracy does not deliver. another vote which would likely leave us nose
1:10 pm
further forward than the last and another vote which would further divide our country at the very moment we should be working to unite this is bigger we face an unprecedented situation the prime minister has led us into a national crisis stan you've got to describe each box last week the prime minister said i have made some progress mr speaker she has not made any progress at all i have to ask what is the leadership the phrase which is often used we thought the prime minister had reached rock bottom but she still don't get. thursday one hundred days until britain leaves the european union at the moment we. no deal and no plan b. . this is a constitutional crisis a prime minister may be aware that the bookmakers he's been offering sixty six to warm up against passing parliament could you bring your cabinet ministers that
1:11 pm
would know and preparing for a referendum are not being disloyal to her but simply veteran march yes. well the liberal democrat leader vince cable that was referring to reports cabinet members are said to be plotting moves towards a second referendum it comes after former leaders john major and tony blair have also backed calls for another vote probably bokeh as the latest talk of a second referenda. appears to be getting more serious and because it's not just coming from the opposition parties apparently it's coming from to reason may's own team over the weekend reports have emerged the cabinet has split into two opposing camps one which along with her chief of staff is now reportedly mulling the idea of letting parliament decide on whether there should be a second referendum to potentially reverse brags that and the other camp of pro relievers who are adamantly against this plan now the prime minister herself has
1:12 pm
been attempting to the brochure all these various rumors and especially talk of a second referendum in fact a spokesperson has just denied just tools but then again her spokesperson did deny the cancellation of the parliamentary vote on her brags that deal last week immediately before it was cancelled so make of that denials what you will now one of the people dead keen to reverse brags and to have a second referendum tony blair the former labor prime minister and he's been getting much more vocal about it on friday he did a whole load of interviews advocating for a second vote and criticizing to reason may's bragg's it deal but the prime minister isn't very happy about it take a listen to the levels of animosity between the former labor prime minister and the current conservative one dismissing to be. having this conversation a year or two they would say to me you know it's never going to happen another referendum now people are saying you know will could it really happen i need to get
1:13 pm
the european leaders to the next stage which is to realise the probability is it's going to happen and they've got to prepare for it there are too many people who want to subvert the process for their own political interest rather than acting in the national interest for tony blair to go to brussels and seek to undermine our negotiations by advocating for a second referendum that insulted you off. he once held and the people he once served are remain determined to see that happen i will not lead to british people down now that type of rhetoric is rather unusual for to resume a it's not normally her style to be that confrontational but tony blair's behavior has evidently rubbed terror up the wrong way but in a way that spot with tony blair has provided for her a bit of a distraction from the chaos seemingly taking place in her own cabinet team right now in terms of where we all would have read that deal what it looks dead in the water and again after her renegotiation late last week in brussels totally failed
1:14 pm
and unless she pulls a greggs a rabbit out of her santas hat it looks like parliament is still expected to vote down the deal that she brings back to parliament after christmas which leaves the u.k. perilously close to a no deal bragg's it which is why we've got this rumor mill in overdrive talking about what potential options there could be once parliament rejects to resume may's deal and yet on the surface all that talk of potentially there being a second referendum will parliament getting to choose what the next options are that's being played down officially but behind the scenes the rumor is that all the options on now on the table i have to say the festive period is normally pretty quiet when it comes to news hacks but the media is having a field day with everything that's taking place right now in the political uncertainty all the rumors all the plotting behind ministers backs that's very good
1:15 pm
for the media they're having a jolly good time writing about all the various options taking place and really as you make your way through westminster you see all the leaves side the remains side everybody's got a few protesters out in front of parliament waving their flags advocating their positions and there is a sense that right now the situation is very much up in the air. meanwhile in the latest development in the last few minutes the opposition labor leader jeremy corbyn has announced he's tabling a motion of no confidence in the prime minister herself although this move is more symbolic than anything else and is not the binding no confidence motion in the government that the other opposition parties have been calling for. senior politics lecturer at lancaster university mark garnett believes most arguments being made against another referendum lacks substance of those arguments that mrs may.
1:16 pm
not have a second referendum the only one i think that really makes any kind of sense is that one of the park says that if we have this referendum that will solve our problem because it will again be rather close all the other argument she's been using against a referendum a desperately thin she seems to be saying it would somehow be a betrayal of democracy which suggests that using the democratic process. the idea that the people have spoken once it shouldn't be allowed to speak again is rather strange so she's really on very very thin ice when she's talking on this subject but in the end there's no dramatic movement in the polls and that might be if there were to be such a movement i really think that it would be impossible to stop it rougher and. the canadian prime minister justin trudeau has expressed concern over two canadians detained in china last week saying his government is taking the situation very
1:17 pm
seriously he says the arrests are politically motivated resulting from canada being caught up in the ongoing trade war between beijing and washington. where. the economies of the world china and the united states start picking a fight with each other the escalating trade war between them is going to have all sorts of unintended consequences on canada and potentially on the entire global economy so we're very worried about that the rest of canadians are michael kors vaguer former diplomatic used to breaking china's n.g.o.s and michael's buyable he's an entrepreneur with senior contacts in north korea including kim jong il. china arrested them citing alleged activities harmful to national security that was right after the c.f.o. of chinese smartphone maker huawei was detained in canada at the request of america and he just said picks up the story take on the high flying chinese think that if arrest her income is an outrage her home nations claim it's at the request of the
1:18 pm
u.s. grant her an eye watering bail throw in a threat of extradition see china and then arrest two canadians in retaliation and all that while that's potentially the biggest trade deal the world at the scene is being hammered out by two of the vested parties washington and beijing complicated isn't it well let's try and break it down starting with those two canadian nationals joining me tonight and citizens mark overegg and michael's paiva suspect it's often gaijin and activities that endangered the national security of the people's republic of china china has warned of the coming retaliation with beijing grave consequences the calendar if the wall way c.f.i. was not released but as count as big brother has rushed to its defense the off of the tension of two canadian citizens is unacceptable that they ought to be returned the united states has stood for that whether there are citizens or citizens of
1:19 pm
other countries whether this washington fits in the picture one show was arrested not because of something she did personally but because the u.s. thinks the company was trying to evade the american embargo against iran extradition to the u.s. is on the menu mung and others are alleged to have put financial institutions at risk of criminal and civil liability in the united states by deceiving those institutions as to the nature and extent of while these business in iran but it is the snag many major financial companies including america's own j.p. morgan have had to pay hefty fines for violating u.s. sanctions in the past yes. we've never seen their execs being thrown into custody making case a wild caught but it's trying to seem to suggest the rule of law company puts the size when it comes to making money. if i think it's good for what will be certainly the largest trade deal ever made i would certainly intervene if i thought it was
1:20 pm
necessary but it seems the man in the oval office is getting the concessions he wanted because beijing has now announced the suspension of tariff hikes on the u.s. the rest of the two canadians are definitely tied to the arrest of manga i'm jus there's no doubt about that the timing of the arrest was it would have been extremely suspicious otherwise because right now the chinese and the americans are involved in very delicate trade negotiations they have done nothing to the u.s. right now they continue to talk so it will make canada the example. of this situation a warning to other countries who maybe may be tempted to follow. erica american extradition demands i think the chinese reaction would be slow and very well thought out when it comes to the united states. take ass and want to count on are deployed by police in brussels or thousands protest against any
