the few. freezing temperatures. in the next few weeks. way. tens of thousands of women take. to support.

the second welcome to the program here when. tragedy struck the central russian city. of monday morning. killing sixteen thought that a gas explosion caused the tragedy the latest details now with our correspondent. well the key thing going on right now is this search and rescue operation rescuers have been working nonstop through the night they're still working as i speak right now they're doing everything they can to increase the chances of finding other survivors like and tuesday for example they installed a heat cannons aiming them under the rubble just to help those potentially alive well just survive the biting cold it is something around minus twenty outside minus

twenty celsius but still it has been more than two days since the tragedy and really the whole poll finding other survivors as well it is running slimmer and slimmer but after all the hope was already slim yesterday when rescuers found and saved ten month old vinyl he spent in the baby spent more than thirty hours trapped need concrete blocks and the city saw it saw his rescue as something of a new year's miracle. because.

one of the rescuers heard a child crying we stopped all the machinery to listen in we were saying to keep quiet and the baby was reacting and kept silent we started asking where are you then there was a noise we started working there but there was a risk of further collapse we were afraid as the child was crying for help the rescue. who eventually found and saved the baby he got the clue from the baby's father himself the father was at work when tragedy struck and he rushed back to the place he used to call his home and when he got there he saw the saw the couch where his wife was supposed to be sleeping so he kind of knew where the crib must have been positioned compared to this couch and before really moved for more than

a day he tried to get the glue to emergency workers but he wouldn't be led into the perimeter because it is still very dangerous it is still i mean until even now there is a danger that one of the walls might collapse on the heads of rescue workers yesterday rescue workers had to stop their operations for a while to you know to get rid of to solve that problem so eventually the dad of the boy the dad of the baby sea sneaked into and he kind of pinpointed the location where he believed his son would have been his story a little soul i could have shown him immediately where my son probably was but we weren't allowed at the site but today i managed to get there and show the rescuers the place i got acquainted with one rescuer who later called me to say that they'd found my son he's wife was at home asleep with the eldest son the three year old son we're being told she was one of the first to get out of the building because really the tragedy the blast caught her mid sleep we talked to her as well new film

it's. a little chance session. on iraq is you. know really is the first and last. for this reason the conflict in your. bovine is stories certainly dramatic one he's being treated in more school right now the doctors are. fighting for his life his condition is still it is bad but the doctors are saying it is stable and they will be able to save his life they're optimistic at least about but they're these not the only story out there hundreds of people hundreds of people have been affected by the tragedy and having talked to them some people still believe they might have relatives trapped under the rubble and they are hoping for

a miracle of their own. in britain prime minister to resign may use her new year's speech to rally support for her battled deal in the next few weeks and these will have an important decision to make if pollitt backs the deal britain can turn a corner and if we come together in two thousand and ninety i know we can make a success of what lies ahead and build a country that truly works for every one of us here today and certainly was a rocky year for the british prime minister to resign may face an uphill battle to get the european union british m.p.'s and her own cabinet to support her divorce deal with little success and taking a look back at a year not sure drama is poorly boyo. if credit i wrote a case in twenty seventeen when the broadway in the fall and you get

a little bit the question. where twenty eighteen can compose way you can make a new take on the bones our new. twists and turns until frankly you feel a little bit. it was the year of a major u.k. battle to conservative party showdown to resume a taking part in the dow. it's hard to believe but at the start of the year things still looked relatively rosy phase one of gregg's it was done and the forty billion pounds of bill had been agreed to live on the on the same layout was fairly success was short lived his two

reason man had cabinets started playing checkers. musical chairs. and reason may unveil hyped up his deal. we have come to an agreement with the proposal we're pushing to the european union which absolutely. the people voted for that country residence the pm minister says that if they don't like it they were free to resign and get taxis off. down the driveway the foreign secretary boris johnson bridget secretary david davis stayed loyal to the prime minister until they'd been home that is and resigned within forty eight hours it is norwich . too late to save. jonas and waited to tell the pm heat quit until just before she had to try to sell

the time to check his plan to parliament turning tricks that mr speaker i want to pay tribute to my right to friends i remember. the brags that cabinet exit didn't stop there. find a venue better reason may have finally proved with. brussels you commemorate the event he says but forced to come to work on sunday. to try. to. move. crowds welcoming the prime minister in london parliament hated may's deal and the compromise she signed up the day before her deal was bound for spectacular failure and after assuring the country ontario minister she wouldn't come so to resume

a parliamentary vote at the eleventh hour are listened very carefully to what is being said in this chamber and. we will see to the church which. brags it hanging by a thread in rage politicians in to raise amazing policy trying to push her off a political cliff by triggering a no confidence vote bigger clue here's where you. received the fraud. this is working through the procedure of overkill for everybody does go to school for the prime minister the plot against her wasn't big enough to bring her down she was. treated the little girls that are using. you feel like they were belly and crushed down with her party's confidence in her hands back to reason made jesse back to brussels with the aim of negotiating a slightly better deal one that parliament might improve. him with

mission impossible on the british media. word on the brussels street and told the front pages that showed him to have been pulling to meet him a little because she moved to the. local churches should be most true excuse me. but if things didn't help may's pretty good deal russell said look you need to mention the new systems for a disagreement to proceed to is it certification it's not open for everyone to resume a's deal is yet to be approved or rejected by an angry and divided parliament while the end of the ride brags that deadline of march twenty nine is fast approaching and if we're sticking to the analogy then greg this is a lie that's perilously close to breaking down but to those in need of comic relief

they'll always be terry's amazed balance a. new year revolution the british capital also saw twenty eighteen farewell become somewhat political appearing as traditional fireworks display the london eye appeared to be lit up in the colors of the e.u. frank and some were not amused. i would have been proud to be a union judge or is such a time of divided run the country wouldn't coming together as a country to celebrate the start of twenty nine hundred a better message sadique khan of hungary used

a public purse to brand you as your political message you should be made to pay back you do not speak for all the people work capital city of london proud to be aligned in that but not proud that my taxes i being spend on file books to send us to post message to the p.m.'s it's very low to politicize what is an international public events it's a betrayal of democracy and it's what we have come to expect from a very poor mayor of london. to the one million you citizens who have made our city your home your londoners you make a huge contribution you're welcome here i'm proud they were welcomed in twenty nineteen with a message of support to you. two women have made history in india after entering one of the country's holiest hindu temples barred to women for centuries and follows months of tensions against of course decision to overturn that of the religious ban meanwhile tens of thousands

of women have taken part in a human chain in the south of india in support of gender equality the so-called women's wall stretched for over six hundred kilometers is a look at what the controversy is all about. as long as the temple is here we have to follow this tradition. i am. so we will ensure that anybody who wants to go to the people will go without any obstruction nor stricken with.

this passion god says i am not a devotee i'm just here to do my job just let me go she faces stone and that's when she's forced to return back. this is. just going to weed out. the spices. are still to come here.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development the only. exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down. you know world of big partisan. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. 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. be with us today for the programme of the u.k.'s mirror newspaper reports that a british export officials met with the saudi government just days after the murder of jamal. according to a freedom of information request by the newspaper there were at least two meetings between the u.k. delegation and riyadh last october the british government said at the time it condemned the killing of the journalist in the strongest possible terms. bost we will definitely thoughtful and considerate in our response i have also been clear

if you're pulling stories we are reading turn out to be true they are fundamentally incompatible with our values and we will act accordingly we asked the british department for international trade to comment on the matter in the meantime some experts we spoke to say the u.k. is not likely to give up its military trade with the saudis anytime soon doesn't really surprise me at all that the trade delegation was sent there because with bricks it coming in and everything else that is happening in the u.k. i don't think they're going to give up the money because. he was actually brutally murdered by saudi arabia this is the highest level of hypocrisy that is when. the british government will stop selling saudi arabia to anybody else for that matter i think they will keep doing that. because the money is just way too good but this is a clear violation of the united kingdom's. sale and

a violation of the european international law which is actually making a mockery of the government's clean rigorously control arms export now something will happen about yemen. these are going to be peace in yemen or an initiative will be put in place so that the murder and we brushed under the carpet. meanwhile saudi arabia's bombing campaign in yemen against the fighters deemed terrorists by riyadh has been ongoing for more than three years now yet what the united nations calls the world's worst manmade humanitarian disaster apparently ghana's less attention than the murder of one journalist well that explains. the killing of jamal has shoji sparked a media firestorm televised crusade by journalists pundits columnists week after month or less democracy.

in the disappearance of washington post contributor if you want to do a building in never came out of the building the murder happened because shogi had died here is building any us response such as journalists of military and murder at the saudi saudi it was almost overnight the saudi government was made a pariah out cussed directly accused of killing of the cruelly one man saudi government denies it's complicit saying it was done by root elements and suddenly suddenly everyone remembers the war in yemen congress are beginning to catch on to the nature of this regime likely they are not telling us the truth about what happened. why would we believe them to. intentionally hitting civilians inside yemen this really needs to alter our relationship we need to bring an end to the conflict in yemen make no mistake what's happening in yemen is awful one of the

worst humanitarian crises currently happening in the world. it could be that the media the bulk of it now realizes how awful things are in yemen or it could be that they using it for different ends president from taking a stunningly dismissive tone about any possible saudi leadership role why he's going so far out this way to cover for the country. specifically the ruler that carried out this killing for president trump it doesn't seem to matter whether the facts support what the saudis say the thing is of course yemen has been a growing graveyard for over three years three long bloodstained years

and the pundits the politicians by and large have ignored that case in point according to a media watchdog america's m.s.n. b c news channel did one single segment on the war in yemen in the course of a year by comparison and they said b c ed four hundred and fifty five segments a stormy daniels porn actress who claims to have slept with donald trump before he became president four hundred fifty five and one on yemen but now things have changed and changed everything saudi arabia's former supporters are jumping ship i change my mind because i'm pissed at the way the administration has handled this . is just not acceptable interesting isn't it how the death of one man

sparked immediate global outrage and indignation the deaths of thousands and thousands in yemen saudi arabia's hand drew only murmured concern and his art international thank you more stories still coming your way in fact over the next few days of course we are actually looking back at some of the top stories reports of twenty eight. one of this year's highlights was of course out of the world cup here in russia our team was certainly in the thick of it reporting from all of the hosts sharing what was a very special atmosphere with the millions of fans from all around the world. live . lives should have been taken over by friendly people who

a nationalistic fever. and get out the traveling across america to find what makes america the charlatans the genius of this place especially american hero this is it we come to a point around which ultimate is going to something we always are on the margins something. called culture as a party. starting last with. begin to headed east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the beast i think i want to leave now doesn't get any more on the left we may be completely different by the end of this jet. fuel hello my name's peter and i've been living in bushnell for about seven years and this is a film about just some of the crazy things i've got through time but. when you're going to get.

time after time to know what you're going on the ground while we're away for christmas we're screening some of your favorite episodes of this season coming up in this what kind of riot act can to raise a makes make a today's nine hundred twenty two committing the decide premiership on the united kingdom we speak to northern ireland's former first minister and republican column line on which post better. brussels. all this and more coming up in today's show but first what is troubling the u.k. prime minister more today a backbench meeting on brics it that could decide a future all this money arabia's crown prince mohammed bin summoned help the first of two meetings with british prime minister theresa may the red carpet has been rolled out early at the prince had lunch with britain's queen elizabeth at buckingham palace and during his three day visit the aide to the family friend what meets with all the senior royals and dined with the queen son and grandson that's

the way even chinese t.v. covered razor maze arguable genuflection to someone she know appears to be labeling a murderer a mind you this is the kind of questioning u.k. state mandated media presented its questions to journalist jamal khashoggi when he was alive apologies for the quality robert going to solomon seems to be saying. i know we have to transform ourselves we have to modernize we have to change and i will be that agent of change your code of an autocrat your compare them to protean and others but surely the message of the last few years is that the best hope that arab nations like saudi arabia has a link to the west prepared for us has power for genuine reform and change and. the best choice for saudi how do you hang on a minute so the b.b.c. a year ago was devil's advocate ing for the now ne a pariah crown prince and so was democracy o.-g.

in fact the late journalist was that once in russia advocating more russian input in the middle east as he was tweeting for the defacto his name is rebels in syria of course there is another dimension to the whole story saudi could stop bombing yemen with british form stop buying nato weapons and make friends with iran let alone this month. the leader of the world's biggest oil producer russia they're meeting the world's second biggest saudi and of course saudi has also made friends with this man yes she jinping sent his people to the saudi investment conference just as vladimir putin did but if saudi realignment is a piece of cake well to some bricks it is something else entirely threatening not only saying italian membership of the e.u. but the very existence of the united kingdom joining me now is former first minister with all the knowledge and current ulster unionist party chairman lord m.p. what i'd be welcome to going underground if we leave aside the party politics of the ninety two two to.
